Honor just made its Magic V5 foldable official. And a new leak now suggests that it is preparing a second-generation flip-style foldable, the Magic V Flip 2, with a few modest upgrades in tow.
According to early specifications that have surfaced, the Magic V Flip 2 is expected to feature a 6.8-inch (approx.) FHD+ LTPO OLED main display, along with a 4-inch (approx.) external cover screen. The internal display also supports LTPO tech, which should allow for adaptive refresh rates to improve power efficiency.
Not powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite
Under the hood, the device is rumored to be powered by a Snapdragon 8-series sub-flagship chipset. The exact SoC isn’t confirmed, but this likely points to something like the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 or a similar tier, which tends to land just below the mainline 8 Elite in performance but with lower cost and thermal output.
For imaging, the Magic V Flip 2 is said to feature a dual camera setup, led by a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, likely using a 1/1.5-inch type sensor. There’s no word yet on the secondary lens, but a standard ultrawide is a reasonable guess.
Perhaps the most noticeable upgrade—at least on paper—is the battery. The leak mentions a 5500mAh (approx.) battery, which, if true, would make Magic V Flip 2 the clamshell foldable with the biggest battery.
For reference, the first-gen Magic V Flip features a 4800mAh cell, the recently launched Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 has a 5165mAh battery, while the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 is said to have a 4300mAh cell. The charging speed is expected to be 66W or possibly 80W, depending on the final configuration.
Honor hasn’t officially confirmed any of these specs, nor has it shared a launch timeline. But if the leak pans out, we might see the Magic V Flip 2 as early as August. Notably, leaker Digital Chat Station claims that only Huawei, Xiaomi, and Honor will release new flip phones this year, meaning Oppo and Vivo could be sitting this one out.
