Honor recently launched the Robot Phone, which has a motorised gimbal camera. The Honor Robot Phone is among the most unique smartphones, but with flagship hardware. The brand is now reportedly working on a wide foldable with a form factor similar to the Galaxy Z Fold8. Honor already has a popular lineup of foldables with the traditional book-style design and flip form factor too.
The latest leak on Honor’s wide foldable suggests it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship chipset. Details about its battery capacity have been leaked too.
Honor wide foldable chipset, battery details (expected)
Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu has shared details on Honor’s upcoming wide foldable. It’s reportedly being tested with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. It’s an upcoming flagship chipset built on the 2nm process. If so, the Honor wide foldable would be the first to feature this chipset with this form factor. Considering it’s Qualcomm’s flagship chipset, you can expect peak performance levels from the previous generation.
Honor’s wide foldable is also rumoured to feature a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch inner display. This would give the foldable a more compact form factor with a wider aspect ratio, like the Galaxy Z Fold8. The upcoming Honor foldable is also expected to feature a horizontal camera module. It could house a 7,000mAh battery and a triple-camera setup with a 200MP primary sensor.
With such hardware, Honor could end up offering one of the most powerful foldables on the market. The wide aspect ratio could be the new trend that catches on, as Samsung has introduced it with the Galaxy Z Fold8. Apple’s first foldable is also rumoured to feature a similar form factor. This makes the foldable easier to hold and use, and makes it a good choice for multimedia too.
Since it’s still early for the Honor wide foldable, we should wait for more details. But if you’ve been waiting for a wide foldable that also boasts flagship hardware, you should keep an eye on the Honor foldable. This would be a good upgrade for first-time foldable users and those who want to switch from the book-style design.
