Honor has just confirmed that its foldable Magic V arrives on January 10 and that it will bring with it a “more complete structural design.”
But it seems that the Magic V will bring much more, starting with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor that can make this model the most powerful folder of the moment.
Expected Specifications on Honor Magic V
It was through a post on the Chinese social network Weibo that Honor announced that its Magic V folding smartphone will arrive on January 10 and the CEO of the brand, Zhao Ming, even said that this is the “most complete structural project” of Honor.
At the same time, more information about the terminal was also detected in a listing on the GeekBench platform. In this list, the equipment comes with the model number Honor MGI-AN00 and will be commanded by the SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon SM8450 processor. Now this is the code name for Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
If this information is confirmed, the Honor Magic V will be the first folding smartphone equipped with the latest Qualcomm processor and risks being the most powerful model of its kind at the moment.
Also on the GeekBench listing, we learned that the aforementioned processor will be paired with 12GB of RAM and will run Android 12. On this platform, the device will have recorded 1,176 points in the single-core test and 3,440 points in the multi-core test.
The price of the Honor Magic V can exceed a thousand euros
But the CEO of Honor went even further and revealed that the Magic V will integrate complex hinge technology that will avoid the gap between the panels when the model is folded.
Ming Zhao also took the occasion to state that some Honor’s competing brands are including inferior quality folding screens in their equipment.
In turn, the well-known Digital Chat Station also revealed that the Magic V of Honor will integrate a screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and another screen with a refresh rate of 90 Hz.
The same leaker is moving forward even though the model will run Android 12 and have 66-watt fast charging support. Other rumors circulating in the web world also show that the model could be available for a cost of around 1,390 euros.
