Honor is on its way to launch its first foldable phone, which is also going to be the most powerful folding smartphone yet. The company has finally revealed a launch date in its latest teaser, confirming that the phone is launching as soon as next week.
The teaser poster shows that the Honor Magic V will break cover on January 10 in China at 4:30 pm PST. Honor’s latest UI update, Magic UI 6.0, will also be unveiled at the same event.
The poster also shows a close-up shot of the phone in a silver color option and a textured rear panel. The main camera setup includes three lenses and a dual-tone LED flash next to it. The hinge looks similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series, but Honor’s CEO has already confirmed that it’s a self-developed design that is the thinnest in the industry.
A centered punch-hole selfie camera is visible on the outer screen, but its resolution is unknown at the moment. According to leaks, the outer screen will be a 6.5-inch panel while the main screen will measure 8-inches diagonally. The display panels will be provided by BOE and Visionox.
Honor has confirmed that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, making it the most powerful folding phone to date. The main camera will be a 50MP shooter and the battery capacity will be 5,100 mAh with support for 66W fast charging.
