Here's when Honor's wide foldable is now rumored to launch
Honor is reportedly delaying the launch of its new wide foldable smartphone until January 2026. The device is expected to feature high-end specifications, including a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset and a large battery.
Why it matters
The foldable smartphone market is becoming increasingly competitive, and Honor's entry signals a push for premium market share.
If you trust rumors, Honor has been working on a wide foldable of its own for quite some time now. Last we heard anything about it, it was apparently supposed to be launching by the end of this year .
However, according to a new rumor from a well-known leaker on Weibo, that won't quite happen. Instead, Honor will allegedly be launching its wide foldable in January.
Intriguingly, it is said to arrive with a "very rich" accessory ecosystem, meaning that Honor is treating it as a very important product, not just a one-off experiment.
