ISLAMABAD – Honor is reportedly in the final stages of developing its first wide-format foldable smartphone, with a new leak outlining its expected display, battery and camera specifications.
According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, the device has entered its final refinement phase after completing engineering tests. Honor has not officially confirmed the handset or announced a launch timeline.
The leak suggests the foldable will feature a 7,000mAh battery, which would make it one of the largest batteries fitted in a flagship foldable smartphone. Honor has previously equipped its foldable devices with comparatively large batteries, including the Magic V6, which carries a 6,660mAh unit.
The device is also expected to feature a 7.6-inch inner foldable display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, offering a wider cover display for everyday tasks without unfolding the handset.
According to the leak, Honor has finalised a 200-megapixel primary rear camera for the device. The camera system is also expected to include a periscope telephoto lens, although details of the remaining sensors have not been disclosed.
Earlier reports suggested the foldable could be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6-series processor, reportedly based on a 2-nanometre manufacturing process. However, neither Honor nor Qualcomm has confirmed the chipset.
While the company has yet to announce a release date, the latest leak suggests development of the foldable smartphone is nearing completion.
