Yesterday, Honor confirmed that it will announce the Honor Magic V Flip on June 13 in China. While the company has confirmed its configurations, there is no clarity about its chipset. Xiaomi is reportedly developing its first flip-style foldable phone, the Xiaomi Mix Flip, concurrently. Tipster Digital Chat Station revealed how these phones will target the Chinese market in a recent Weibo post.

What to expect from Honor Magic V Flip, Xiaomi Mix Flip

The above Weibo post suggests that Vivo and Oppo, mentioned as “blue” and “green,” have stopped updating their small foldable phones. This means both brands may not have plans to launch a flip-style foldable phone this year. Both brands launched the Vivo X Flip and the Oppo Find N3 Flip last year. However, their successor editions are unlikely to launch in 2024.

At the same time, brands like Honor and Xiaomi are stepping up with new offerings, such as the Honor Magic V Flip and the Xiaomi Mix Flip. DCS said that these devices feature a hole-punch design for their large external displays, but their product positioning differs.

The Honor Magic V Flip is geared towards female consumers, with their highest configuration offering 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, focusing on being sufficient rather than top-tier in performance. The brand has already confirmed that it will come in two other options, such as 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB. Reports have revealed that it will have a 4,800mAh battery, 66W fast charging, and a 50-megapixel primary camera. It will be available in black, white, and pink shades.

Xiaomi, on the other hand, is positioning its upcoming model as a pure flagship. As per reports, it will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 50-megapixel + 60-megapixel (2x telephoto) dual-camera setup on the back, a 32-megapixel front camera, and 67W fast charging.
