Honor Magic Vs launch date and worth

The Honor Magic Vs is being unveiled on November 23, so very quickly. That launch is only for China, however chatting with Tech Advisor (opens in new tab), an Honor spokesperson confirmed that the Magic Vs would launch globally in Q1 2023 – so someday between the beginning of January and the tip of March.

That mentioned, whereas the corporate has additionally beforehand mentioned this cellphone will land in Europe, they didn’t say precisely which European international locations it could be accessible in – nor whether or not it could be offered within the US or Australia. Although a US launch is unlikely.

There’s no information on what it may cost a little, however the unique Honor Magic V – which didn’t go world – was offered for ¥9,999 (round $1,380 / £1,210 / AU$2,150), so the Honor Magic Vs may need the same worth – although conversions are unlikely to be correct in any case.

Honor Magic Vs information and leaks

Whereas we don’t know a lot for certain in regards to the Honor Magic Vs but, we do have an thought of the way it appears, as Honor has shared the picture above, which exhibits the Honor Magic Vs’s important display screen and prime edge.

You possibly can see from this that it appears rather a lot just like the Honor Magic V or the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, with a big foldable show that opens out right into a tablet-like expanse, or could be folded shut, leaving you with a extra smartphone-sized gadget.

Presumably when it’s shut there’s a secondary show you need to use, however that’s not proven on this picture.

What we are able to see is that there’s a punch-hole digicam on the foldable show, and a gold-colored body, seemingly product of metallic. There’ll most likely different colours supplied too although.

The cellphone appears very skinny on this picture, and certainly based on a sketch shared by leaker @UniverseIce (opens in new tab), which you’ll see beneath, the Honor Magic Vs is ‘ultra-thin’. The supply additionally means that it is going to be the lightest foldable cellphone with this kind of design.

Past that, we are able to see within the sketch that there’s what appears to be a triple-lens digicam on the again, and a secondary display screen with a punch-hole digicam of its personal for when the primary show is folded shut.

The sketch additionally mentions a 5,000mAh battery, which is kind of a big dimension for a foldable cellphone – beating the Galaxy Z Fold Four by 600mAh, and @UniverseIce claims the Magic Vs will break the battery life report for this sort of foldable.

The identical sketch was additionally shared on Weibo – a Chinese language social community – by a leaker often called Panda is bald (opens in new tab), and so they moreover declare that the Honor Magic Vs presents 66W charging and weighs 261g.

We’d, in fact, take this sketch and the accompanying data with a pinch of salt, however it comes from sources with an inexpensive monitor report.

That’s all we’ve heard to this point, however we are able to speculate that the Honor Magic Vs could have a Snapdragon eight Plus Gen 1 chipset, for the reason that Magic V has the Snapdragon eight Gen 1.

Given how comparable the upcoming cellphone appears to the outdated one within the official picture above, a few of the different specs is perhaps comparable too. So we is perhaps getting a roughly 7.9-inch OLED important show with a 90Hz refresh charge, a roughly 6.45-inch OLED secondary show with a 120Hz refresh charge, and a trio of 50MP cameras on the again. Nevertheless, that’s simply hypothesis for now.

All in all, whereas it’s too early to say whether or not the Honor Magic Vs will rank among the many greatest foldable telephones, it definitely looks like this is perhaps essentially the most competitors Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold line has had in fairly a while.
