Honor's Magic7 and X60 Series Smartphones Launching in October, Tri-Foldable Phone Coming Next Year

Digital blogger @ChangChangShiGuanXue recently revealed that the launch date of the highly anticipated Honor Magic7 series has been moved up to October. The new flagship will reportedly feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor and the latest MagicOS operating system. Leaked images suggest at least a black color option, with a unique octagonal camera deco design featuring four symmetrically arranged lenses and a centrally located flash.

Previous leaks suggest the standard Magic7 will boast a customized high-specification 1.5K display and a large-capacity silicon-based battery. Engineering samples reportedly include a 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50H main camera (1/1.3-inch sensor, 1.2m pixel size), a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens.

Compared to the Honor Magic6 (6.78-inch 1.5K curved screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 5450mAh second-generation Qinghai Lake battery, and a triple camera setup with a 50MP OmniVision OVH9000 main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 32MP telephoto lens, starting at 4399), the Magic7 promises significant improvements in performance, imaging, and battery life. However, the increased cost of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 might lead to a higher price tag.

Separately, an alleged render of the Honor X60 surfaced online, which Honor's CMO, Jiang Hairong, quickly debunked as fake. However, Jiang subsequently announced the official launch of the Honor X60 series in October, emphasizing its "robust" features.

Three Honor models (BRC-AN00, BRP-AN00, BRP-AN80) have received 3C certification, widely believed to be the Honor X60 series. The certification indicates a maximum 35W power adapter (HN-110320C00/HN-110320C01). Specific specifications for the X60 series remain undisclosed. For context, the Honor X50, a mid-range device, features a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, a 6.78-inch 1.5K curved screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1.07 billion colors, 1200nit peak brightness, and high-frequency PWM dimming.

Beyond these two series, Honor CEO Zhao Ming recently stated in an interview that the company's tri-foldable phone is ready for mass production. He affirmed Honors technological readiness, highlighting its leadership in foldable phonesbeing the only manufacturer to offer inward-folding, outward-folding, and vertical folding models, including the thinnest outward-folding VPura and inward-folding MagicV3. The tri-foldable phone's release date will depend on market response.

Blogger @ChangChangShiGuanXue reported that the tri-foldable phone is nearing completion, emphasizing a focus on lightness, thinness, and a large battery. However, he suggested a launch date in 2024. Industry speculation points towards a Q1 2024 release, but this remains tentative.

In summary, Honor will launch the Magic7 and X60 series in October, expanding its product line. The highly anticipated tri-foldable phone is expected in 2024. Honor's aggressive approach to foldable technology and continuous investment in innovation will offer consumers increased choice. The Magic7's improved imaging and performance, the X60's "robustness," and the upcoming tri-foldable phone demonstrate Honor's commitment to leadership in the foldable phone market, promising users a superior mobile experience. This launch reflects Honor's technological prowess and market understanding, poised to create significant market excitement. Honor's continuous innovation and commitment to providing better products and services are evident. We look forward to more surprises from Honor in the future.
