Earlier, images of a clamshell foldable phone from Honor appeared online, thanks to a patent filed with China’s National Intellectual Property Administration. The phone features a unique design with sharp corners. With the patent now approved, Honor might release this distinct flip phone in the future.
A Flip Phone from Honor with Noteworthy Features
Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that the phone may launch as early as next month and could belong to the Magic series. The tipster also mentioned that it will be a flip phone boasting the largest battery and the biggest external screen in its category. From the patent images (see below), the rear camera system occupies minimal space compared to other flip phones on the market. Additionally, the bezels appear significantly thinner than those on the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
The tipster also noted that the durability of the phone’s fold mechanism is “relatively fierce.”
Insights from Honor’s CEO
Following the Honor 200 series launch on May 27, Honor CEO Zhao Ming hinted at their upcoming flip phone during an interview, suggesting it will offer a unique value proposition.
Reports indicate that the company’s supply chain is focusing on delivering the largest external screen in a clamshell foldable phone. The functionality of this external screen might be one of the phone’s standout features. While the exact launch date remains unknown, more information will be shared as it becomes available.
