Honor Moves Out of Comfort Zone w/Magic Fold
The latest Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) report reveals that Honor is planning to release its first foldable smartphone at some point in the next year with an in-folding display. DSCC claims the product will “closely follow” the upcoming foldable products from Google, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi. Their devices are all scheduled for late 2021, so an announcement in the first quarter of 2022 might be Honor’s target. The device will be Honor’s first foldable smartphone and will be developed completely independently — Honor is no longer owned by Huawei, so it doesn’t borrow the tech used on the Mate X2 foldable. It will reportedly use foldable displays from suppliers BOE and Visionox, and it could be marketed as the ‘Honor Magic Fold.’ The name suggests Honor’s foldable will rival Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 rather than the less expensive and more compact Galaxy Z Flip 3, both of which are set to be announced in early August.
