Honor Magic V5 could debut with striking new color as Galaxy Z Fold 7 rivalry heats up
Referential image of the Honor Magic V3. | Image credit — PhoneArena Honor is expected to launch its next foldable phone, the Magic V5, later this month, and new leaks suggest it could arrive with a new color option that might catch some attention. According to a tipster on Weibo, the device is rumored to come in four color variants: Velvet Black, Snow White, Tundra Green, and a brand-new Silk Gold finish. Tipster claims the Honor Magic V5 foldable will sport a new gold color option . | Image credit — Weibo The first three colorways match those of last year's Magic V3, but the addition of gold could be a fresh move by Honor to give the device a more premium appearance. While color alone won't determine a phone's success, it can help a product stand out in a competitive market, especially as more brands start offering similar foldable designs. The Honor Magic V5 is rumored to skip the "V4" name and jump directly to V5. According to early reports, the device could be one of the thinnest foldables yet, with a folded thickness of under 9mm. If accurate, this would make it slightly slimmer than the latest Oppo Find N5, which measures 8.93mm when folded. The Magic V3 already offered a 5150mAh battery with 66W fast charging and solid wireless charging support, so this year's model could improve on that without sacrificing slimness. The timing of the Magic V5's release puts it right up against the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is also expected to be revealed in July. Samsung's next foldable is rumored to bring modest design changes and upgraded internals, but so far, there have been no major leaks pointing to bold new colors or significant changes in appearance. That's where the Silk Gold color on the Magic V5 might give Honor a visual edge, even if just for initial impressions. While Samsung continues to lead the global foldables market, Honor has been quietly gaining ground, especially in the ultra-thin segment. Whether the Magic V5 can compete on performance remains to be seen, but a slimmer design, larger battery, and refreshed styling suggest Honor is aiming to push its foldable series forward in both form and function. We'll be watching closely as the official launch approaches.

MediaTek Dimensity 9500's announcement date tipped
Qualcomm is unveiling the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 in late September, and its main competitor will undoubtedly be MediaTek's Dimensity 9500. With that in mind, you may have been wondering when to expect it to be announced. According to a new rumor from the prolific Chinese leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, MediaTek will one-up Qualcomm by unveiling its next flagship chipset even earlier. Chinese smartphone makers are expected to then introduce their next-gen flagship devices (the ones that usually come in October to December) quite quickly after the chips take the stage - most could actually become official by the end of September. If true, September is going to be a very, very busy month in the mobile world - let's not forget Apple's new iPhones are coming then as well. So for some Android brands, their current flagship devices will only have been for sale (in China at least) for 9-10 months before their successors get introduced. It remains to be seen how the buyers of those phones will take all of this. Source (in Chinese)
