\"Honor<\/a><\/p>\n

In a statement HONOR’s CEO, George Zhao, shared the news confirming that the brand is in the final stages of these new devices.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0“This year we are preparing for the flip phone launch \u2014 now that we are internally in the final stage.” Both products are set to launch later in the year, with an exact date is still to be confirmed. This will be the technology firm\u2019s first vertical-folding smartphone, adding to HONOR\u2019s multiple foldable phones available for purchase, including the HONOR Magic V2 that launched in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As of now, no official announcement has been made regarding the name of Honor\u2019s upcoming flip phone. However, there\u2019s strong speculation that it might adopt the moniker \u2018Magic\u2019<\/strong>, a name that has graced several of Honor\u2019s previous mobile devices. Interestingly, Honor\u2019s book-style devices have often featured a distinctive \u2018V\u2019 branding, which subtly alludes to the shape they form when elegantly unfolded. If Honor follows this trend, we might just see their flip phones affectionately referred to as\u00a0\u2018F\u2019 devices<\/strong>. Alternatively, it may simply be known as the \u2018Honor Magic Flip\u2019. We\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

Honor has yet to disclose a precise release date for its newest phone. However, during an interview with CNBC in February 2024, CEO George Zhao indicated that the company was gearing up for a launch\u00a0within this year<\/strong>. Furthermore, he mentioned that the phone was\u00a0in its final internal stages<\/strong>, which strongly suggests that we can anticipate an official launch before the close of 2024.<\/p>\n

Regarding a more precise release date, making predictions is akin to trying to predict the winning lottery numbers blindfolded. However, given Honor\u2019s historical patterns, we can anticipate an initial launch in China, followed by a global release several months later. Considering this, it\u2019s conceivable that the phone won\u2019t grace European shores until\u00a0early 2025<\/strong>, but please note that this is purely speculative at this juncture.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Honor has been subtly adjusting its binoculars towards the global market. This year\u2019s launch might just be the one where the device sees the light of day simultaneously in both China and Europe. However, there\u2019s a twist in this international tale: Honor has yet to sprinkle its magic dust on the United States. So, if you\u2019re across the pond, don\u2019t hold your breath for a sudden change in that tradition.<\/p>\n

As of now, there is no official information available regarding the price of the upcoming\u00a0Honor flip phone<\/strong>. Given that this will be the manufacturer\u2019s inaugural device of its kind, we lack any historical context to estimate its potential cost based on previous generations. However, it\u2019s worth noting that Honor\u2019s most recent book-style foldable, the\u00a0Magic V2<\/strong>, comes with a price tag that is more budget-friendly compared to its counterparts from Samsung or Google.<\/p>\n

Given the current landscape, our anticipation is that the forthcoming\u00a0Honor flip phone<\/strong>\u00a0will be priced either\u00a0below or at least on par\u00a0with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 (starting at $999.99\/\u00a31,049) and the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (also priced at $999\/\u00a31,049).<\/p>\n

However, it would be a feather in Honor\u2019s cap if they manage to undercut the regular Razr 40\u2019s price of\u00a0\u00a3799<\/strong>\u00a0in the UK. Let\u2019s hope they pull off this budget-friendly magic trick<\/p>\n

Honor has yet to officially unveil details about its forthcoming flip phone. However, according to Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station (via GSMArena), the inaugural flip foldable from Honor is expected to boast a\u00a04,500mAh battery<\/strong>, which would be the most capacious among such devices.<\/p>\n

During the MWC 2024 tech show in Barcelona, Honor placed significant emphasis on\u00a0artificial intelligence (AI)<\/strong>. While several features are slated for the flagship Magic 6 Pro (a conventional slab phone), it would be a delightful twist if these innovations also found their way into the realm of the flip phone.<\/p>\n

Honor\u2019s AI is poised to evolve into a more sophisticated entity over time, potentially introducing novel AI features by the flip phone\u2019s launch. Assuming the device falls into the high-end category, it will likely be powered by either Qualcomm\u2019s current\u00a0Snapdragon 8 Gen 3<\/strong>\u00a0or the upcoming\u00a08 Gen 4<\/strong>. Brace yourselves for a main display that surpasses the Magic V2\u2019s modest\u00a06.43-inch cover screen<\/strong>, perhaps even rivaling the Magic 6 Pro\u2019s\u00a06.8-inch panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During the same CNBC interview, Honor\u2019s CEO, George Zhao, spilled the beans about an intriguing project: a\u00a0smart ring<\/strong> that could very well lock horns with Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Ring. As for the release date of this mysterious ring, it remains more elusive than a ninja in a foggy forest. However, one thing seems certain: these two devices are destined to dance harmoniously within Honor\u2019s ecosystem<\/p>\n
