Honor will launch a smaller folding smartphone on the market

Honor Magic V Flip

With the new Magic V Flipwhich will first be marketed in China and then in other markets, the company seeks to position itself in the foldable phone segment, one of the categories that has recently attracted the attention of consumers thanks to its design and size.

For this reason, Honor emphasized that one of the main attractions and differentiators of its new foldable will be the design and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The device will be thinner and lighter with a thickness of 14.8 millimeters and a weight of 193 grams.

While the design will have animations and even a special edition with the luxury brand Jimmy Choo. AI will be the other relevant element in the new device, since it will improve photographic quality by allowing details of portraits and closed eyes to be corrected.

The battery is another piece with which the company’s new display seeks to differentiate itself. The device will have a battery capable of charging in a short time, this as a new option for one of the main problems of these phones: energy depletion in a short time.

It will also integrate a next-generation chipset that will improve connectivity capacity to telecommunications networks such as 5G to offer a better experience to consumers.

“We seek to offer visual excellence and elevate the user experience and thereby establish a precedent in this type of devices,” the company explained in an exclusive presentation to the media.

According to data from the consulting firm Statista, this year the folding smartphone segment will reach a value of 28 million 72,000 dollars and a shipment volume of 24 million units worldwide.
