The popularity of foldable phones is growing rapidly. Almost every manufacturer has either released or is working on a sophisticated model. One such manufacturer is Onur. They recently released the Magic V2, which folds inwards. The thinnest foldable phone on the market. However, Honor plans to launch another foldable smartphone this year. The device is also said to have a lightweight outer folding screen with a large screen and will be positioned to compete with the competition.
According to a leak from Weibo user @Digital Chat Station, Honor plans to launch a new foldable smartphone this year. The device is said to be lightweight and has a large external complex. It will be competitively priced in the small, vertically foldable smartphone market. It is said that this is not the first time Honor has worked on a new external smartphone with a foldable screen.
In fact, the company has previously applied for a trademark for the device named “Honor Magic Fold”. It is likely that this is the same device that is currently called the “slim foldable smartphone”. If Honor launches a new foldable smartphone later this year, it will be interesting to see how it performs against the competition.
Huawei is currently the leading player in the outdoor foldable smartphone market, and the Mate Xs 2 is one of the most popular devices in the segment. If Honor wants to challenge Huawei for market share, it will need to offer an attractive product. The vertical small fold segment is still in the early stages of development, but is growing rapidly. With Honor entering the market, we’re likely to see even more competition in this segment in the coming years.
If Honor’s upcoming foldable smartphone is competitively priced, it could be a serious competitor to the Mate Xs 2. However, we will see how the two devices compare in terms of specs and performance.
