We've defenseless a few glimpses of Honor's new foldable over the past month. The erstwhile Huawei sub-brand granted us a glimpse at the Magic Five's foldable form factor towards the terminate of December, hinting at a potential Samsung Galaxy Z Fold iii rival.

That hint became more of a likelihood with the subsequent leak of the Honor Magic V'due south specs. We're looking at a Snapdragon 8 Gen i processor, a 120Hz foldable display, a 50MP main camera sensor, and speedy 66W charging.

We've received no confirmation of the company'due south wider launch plans for the Honor Magic Five, but nosotros're hoping for a Western launch.

There's a strong case to be made for a launch in the United states of america and Europe, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold iii and Galaxy Z Flip three selling extremely well in the latter portion of 2022.
