Honor Magic Vs 2 to join the foldable smartphone trend this year

As Honor prepares to unveil its sleek and lightweight Magic V2 foldable on the global stage, whispers of an additional model have surfaced, suggesting that the Honor Magic Vs 2 might join the fray as another folding-screen smartphone making its debut later this year. Should this speculation prove accurate, it could signify the introduction of three Honor foldables this year, potentially including a flip phone variant.

The rumored Honor Magic Vs 2, speculated to be the brand's inaugural outward folding device, has emerged on China's 3C website with the model number VCA-AN00, showcasing support for 35W charging. Notably, this model number corresponds to the previously rumored Magic V Slim. If substantiated, this would mark Honor's entry into the arena of outward folding devices—a realm currently dominated solely by Huawei with its Mate Xs and Xs 2 models.

Amid the buzz, rumors hint at a prospective October launch for the upcoming foldable, although comprehensive details regarding its features remain scant. Notably, Honor is also in the process of developing a clamshell phone that incorporates a foldable screen, dubbed the Honor Magic Flip. While official announcements regarding this device are still pending, speculations point towards a release window of late 2023 or 2024.

In the interim, the global market is poised to welcome the Magic V2—a fresh addition to Honor's foldable smartphone lineup, characterized by its svelte and lightweight design. Though once reigning as the slimmest foldable on the market, it has since been eclipsed by the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. Anticipation for the Magic V2's unveiling continues to build, with its grand introduction scheduled for September 1 at IFA Berlin.
