Honor, a brand that split from Chinese giant Huawei due to tough US sanctions, is developing several smartphones with flexible displays. Information about the characteristics of one of them was available to some insiders.
The Honor Magic X foldable smartphone will have an 8-inch flexible display
According to messages, Honor is preparing a large device that, when unfolded, can easily replace a tablet. Specifically, the flexible panel will be 8 inches across. A 6,5-inch screen will be placed on the outside of the case.
According to rumors, the flexible display is ordered from the Chinese company BOE. Advanced ultra-thin glass is currently being developed to protect such devices from damage during daily use.
Judging by the published data, Honor is preparing a smartphone in the format of a book with a flexible panel that folds into a body. We do not yet know the other characteristics of the device.
Earlier on the website of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), information appeared that Honor registered the trademarks Honor Magic Fold and Honor Magic Flip.
The device described above may debut under the name Honor Magic Fold. Honor Magic Flip is the name of the future folding smartphone.
