Honor and the Year of the Leaflets
One company that exists, and that will certainly be among the protagonists of the event, is the Chinese Honor: now in Huawei’s chairdetached from the parent company in 2020, managed to free itself from US sanctions and therefore get all Google services back on its smartphones.
But that’s not why Honor is among the producers to keep an eye on at MWC 2023: the point is that it will unveil its first foldable phone also destined for Europe, right now that foldables are starting to widen their audience base, to go down in price and even to be made better (like proves Oppo’s Find N2 Flip). Right now that they become more interesting, in short.
The device is called Honor Magic VS, will also be on sale in Italy from June (at a price that should be around a thousand euros) and according to the latest rumors it has a 6.45″ external screen and a 7.9″ internal one; both are OLED and arrive respectively at 120 and 90 Hz refresh. The processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 with 12 or 16 GB of RAM and 256 or 512 GB of internal memory.
The company passed the phone to the well-known youtuber Zack Nelson (JerryRig, as we know him online), who obviously disassembled it, verified the presence of two batteries that together reach a capacity of 5 thousand mAh and above all paid attention to the functioning of the hinge, which is essential when it comes to foldable devices. From Honor they explained that they have made everything lighter and to have drastically reduced the number of components used, which should guarantee a longer life for the telephone: over 400,000 openings, which would translate into “more than 10 years of use with 100 folds a day”.
