Honor Magic V Flip 2 to bring updated cameras and larger battery
Honor is expected to launch its Magic V Flip 2 soon, and a new rumor from China suggests it will launch in August. As per the tip, Honor will redesign the external display with its dual cameras now housed in identically sized cutouts. For reference, last year's Magic V Flip sported vertically aligned camera cutouts with the primary 50MP sensor housed inside a larger cutout than the 12MP ultrawide lens. Honor Magic V Flip It remains to be seen if the cameras will be repositioned like on the batch of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr foldables. The new rumor also suggests improved imaging capabilities but does not share any specifics on the sensors. Honor has also reworked the cover screen's UI and it will now be easier to navigate and more user-friendly. Apart from the reworked cover screen, Magic V Flip 2 is expected to bring a larger battery with previous rumors pointing to either 66W or 80W charging support. Honor is also expected to offer an updated Snapdragon 8 series chipset, but we don't get details on which version. Source (in Chinese)

New flip foldable promises better specs than Galaxy Z Flip 7
With Samsung's new foldables, Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, just around the corner, it's time to take a glance at what's coming in the next few months that could successfully compete with the South Korean foldables. Honor's Magic V5 is already a better foldable on paper than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but its main disadvantage is that it won't be available worldwide before Samsung's foldable. Not to mention that Honor's devices aren't available for purchase in the United States, at least not through official channels. But Magic V5 is not the only Honor foldable that will compete with one of Samsung's upcoming devices. Magic V Flip 2 will directly compete with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, but not until later this summer. The sequel to the Magic V Flip has some interesting specs, at least according to a fresh new report. Reliable leaker Digital Chat Station claims the upcoming Magic V Flip 2 sports a large 6.8-inch LTPO folding OLED display with FHD+ resolution, and a 4-inch LTPO cover OLED display with FHD+ resolution. These are the exact same specs as the Magic V Flip, which means Honor hasn't been able to make any technological advancements when it comes to display. In comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to boast a 6.85-inch LTPO folding AMOLED display with 1080 x 2640 pixels resolution, and a 4-inch Super AMOLED cover display.

Although the flip foldable will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 series chipset, it's not going to be the Elite or Elite 2 flagships. In a previous post on Weibo from February 2025, Digital Chat Station said the Magic V Flip 2 could be equipped with a previous-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. On the bright side, Honor's foldable is rumored to pack a much bigger 5,500 mAh battery with support for 66W or 80W wired charging speeds. For reference, the original Magic V Flip packs a 4,800 mAh battery, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 still uses a 4,000 mAh battery, the same that powers the previous model. As far as the camera goes, Digital Chat Station says the Magic V Flip 2 has a dual camera setup, which will include a 50-megapixel main camera with a 1/1.5-inch sensor. There's no information about the second camera but considering that the original model also comes with a dual camera system (50MP main + 12MP ultra-wide), there's a high chance that Magic V Flip 2 will use the same also worth mentioning that the Magic V Flip comes with a 50-megapixel selfie snapper, which Honor might use inside the sequel too. This is an enormous difference in comparison with Galaxy Z Flip 7 's rumored 10-megapixel front camera, but it remains to be seen if this will be reflected in the quality of the pictures captured too. There's one last piece of information that Digital Chat Station leaked on Weibo and that's Honor V Flip 2's release timeframe. According to the Chinese tipster, Honor's next flip foldable is expected to be introduced in China sometime in August. If the info proves to be accurate, a global launch might happen in September. Honor typically uses IFA, one of the world's leading trade shows for consumer electronics, to make important announcements, and the global release of its Magic V Flip 2 fits the company's marketing strategy perfectly.

It would be unrealistic to talk about pricing options considering that the Magic V Flip wasn't officially launched outside of China. But for the sake of comparison, it's worth noting that the Magic V Flip was priced to sell for 5,000 yuan at launch, which translates to about $695 / €590. We expect the Magic V Flip 2 to cost around the same in China, but if Honor decides to launch it worldwide, prices will be slightly higher by roughly $100 / €100 (?).
