Summary

  • Honor is reportedly testing a wide foldable with Qualcomm’s 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, potentially making it the only book-style foldable currently using that platform.
  • The foldable is tipped to pair the chip with a 7.6-inch inner display, 5.5-inch outer screen, a 7,000mAh battery and a triple rear camera led by a 200-megapixel sensor.
  • Separate leaks say Honor is also developing phones with 11,600mAh typical batteries—alongside earlier 11,790mAh and roughly 12,000mAh-class packs—and single-cell 9,800mAh and 9,850mAh options.
  • Those large batteries are expected across Honor’s Win 2, X and Power lines, extending a product pipeline that earlier leaks said also includes a 200MP foldable and gaming-focused devices.
  • Honor is simultaneously advancing a second-generation Robot Phone under its Alpha project after officially showing the first model with a motorized gimbal camera and embodied AI.
