HONOR May Bring 200MP Camera in Flip Foldables — Samsung, Take Note

HONOR plans to launch its upcoming foldable, the Magic V Flip 2, on August 21. The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition and Galaxy Z Fold 7 are the first foldables with a 200MP main camera, but the HONOR Magic V Flip 2 could become the first Flip-style phone to offer a 200MP sensor. Honestly, that’s impressive.

HONOR Magic V Flip 2 is rumored to feature 200MP main camera!

Leaker Digital Chat Station (machine-translated screenshot below) shared a series of detailed specifications on Weibo. The tipster revealed that the HONOR Magic V Flip 2 will include a 200MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP front-facing camera. This should deliver solid quality for cropped images up to 2x or 4x zoom, though extreme zooms may still lose detail.

The Magic V Flip 2 will feature a 6.82-inch OLED main display with a resolution of 2,868 x 1,232 pixels, complemented by a 4-inch cover screen at 1,200 x 1,092 pixels. The device runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which, while not Qualcomm’s absolute latest, still provides strong performance for demanding tasks.

Battery life is another highlight. HONOR confirmed a 5,500mAh battery, the largest ever in a Flip foldable. Charging options include 80W wired and 50W wireless support, letting users recharge quickly when needed.

While HONOR confirmed these details for the domestic launch, global availability remains uncertain. The original Magic V Flip never reached international markets, so whether the Magic V Flip 2 will launch outside China is still unknown.

By comparison, Samsung ships the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide lens. It measures just under 6.5mm when unfolded, making it thinner than the rumored 6.9mm thickness of the Magic V Flip 2. But would you trade a high-res camera for a slightly slimmer profile? Probably not.
