Honor has just finished its
Magic 9 launch, but the company
may already have several more phones in the works. A new leak points to at least four upcoming devices, including the
Honor 700 Pro, a new 7-inch X series phone and
Honor's first wide foldable.
None of these phones has been officially confirmed yet. Most of the details come from tipster Digital Chat Station, so the specifications may still change.
Honor 700 Pro could get a rear screen
The Honor 700 Pro is reportedly being tested with a 1.72-inch rear display. The phone is also expected to have a 6.57-inch 1.5K flat display with very thin, almost symmetrical bezels. A 200MP main camera is also part of the current leak.
The rear screen is the most interesting part. Honor already has the magnetic mini display accessory for the Honor 600 series, but this time the small screen could be built directly into the phone.
The Honor 700 series is currently expected to arrive in China around November or December.
A 7-inch Honor X phone is coming
Honor is also reportedly working on a new
X series phone with a 7-inch display. The device is said to focus heavily on battery life. Honor has started trial production of a battery cell that can reach around 12,000mAh, but there is no confirmation that this particular phone will use it.
So I would not quote 12,000mAh as the phone's final capacity yet.
Honor's wide foldable is getting closer
The more exciting device is Honor's wide foldable phone. Previous leaks point to a 7.6-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch cover screen and a 200MP main camera with a periscope telephoto. The battery could exceed 7,000mAh, while the phone may use Qualcomm's next-generation 2nm Snapdragon chip.
An earlier report suggested a starting price around CNY 9,999, or about $1,470, but that is only a leaked estimate.
A rollable phone is also in development
Honor may also be working on a wide regular smartphone with a rollable display. Details are very limited at this point. The latest leak does not explain how the rollable screen will work or when Honor plans to release it.
For me, the wide foldable is the one worth watching. Samsung and Apple are already moving toward wider foldable designs, and Honor clearly does not want to be left behind.
