Honor Magic Flip, the first clamshell foldable from Honor, is said to be in the works. After the launch of the Honor Magic 6 series and Magic V2 family during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, more leaks about the flip phone have started popping up online. Most recently, an alleged render has surfaced online offering a glimpse into the possible design of the Honor Magic Flip. The render suggests a large cover display and two vertically oriented cameras.

The leaked render comes courtesy of a tipster known as Guan (translated from Chinese). The renders show the Honor Magic Flip in a black shade with a larger cover display similar to the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra. It appears to have a vertically arranged dual rear camera system. The lower half has the Honor logo and the rear panel seems to have a vegan leather finish.

Recently the Chinese smartphone maker revealed the existence of the clamshell-styled flip phone and confirmed will be launched later this year alongside a smart ring. It is said to come with a 4,500mAh battery. At this point, there are no other details known about the flip phone.
