The Honor Magic V Flip 2 is almost here, and there’s already plenty to get excited about. Honor has officially set the China launch for August 21 at 7:30pm local time, and the company has also shown off the design and color options on Weibo and partner sites. There’s even a stylish special edition in collaboration with Professor Jimmy Choo, complete with a shimmering blue back and hinge engraving.
What’s new?
- Launch date: August 21 in China, 7:30pm local time.
- Colors: Blue, Grey, Purple, and White; the blue Jimmy Choo edition is the standout colorway.
- Design: near Edge‑to‑edge cover screen, dual same‑size rear cameras, slim bezels on the main screen.
Leaked core specs
A reliable leak has laid out most of the key hardware, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious flip phones yet. Here’s what’s been reported so far:
- Displays: 6.82‑inch LTPO OLED inner screen at 120Hz with FHD+‑class resolution; 4‑inch LTPO cover screen at 120Hz.
- Cameras: 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP selfie camera.
- Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 expected according to multiple reports.
- Battery and charging: 5,500mAh with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.
- Biometrics: Side fingerprint scanner.
- Dimensions and weight: 6.9mm thick when closed, 15.5mm when open, around 204g.
Note: While Honor hasn’t confirmed these specs on its official channels yet, they are consistent across multiple reputable tech outlets and leaker posts.
Why these features matter
A 200MP main camera in a clamshell is big news. It could be the first flip phone to ship with a sensor that high, which should help with sharp, loss‑limited 2x to 4x crops without a dedicated telephoto. The 5,500mAh battery is another standout; for a compact foldable, that kind of capacity can mean all‑day comfort with less battery anxiety, especially paired with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging for quick top‑ups. The 4‑inch cover screen at 120Hz also makes glanceable tasks and quick replies feel more like a real phone experience than a tiny widget window.
Design and special edition
Honor showed the Magic V Flip 2 in four colors: blue, grey, purple, and white. The blue Jimmy Choo edition is the flashiest, with a crystal‑like finish and the designer’s name engraved on the hinge, following their earlier collaboration on the first Magic V Flip. The grey model goes matte, while the purple and white carry subtle marble‑like patterns. The cover screen stretches edge‑to‑edge, and the two outward cameras match in size for a cleaner look.

Final thoughts
On paper, this looks like the most well‑rounded flip phone this year. A huge battery for its size, fast wired and wireless charging, a big cover screen, and a headline 200MP camera make a strong case if those details hold at launch. The Jimmy Choo edition adds a little fashion sparkle for buyers who want something special, and the cleaner camera layout is a nice touch for everyday use and compact size.
If Honor keeps this exact spec sheet for retail, rivals will have to work harder on battery life and cameras in flip phones. The only open question now is global availability, since the first Magic V Flip stayed in China—so it’s worth watching the August 21 event closely.
