On November 23, 2022, Honor launched its second foldable smartphone – Honor Magic Vs. The latest foldable phone has been confirmed to release in global markets in Q1 2023.
The all-new Honor Magic Vs arrives with a light gearless hinge. The number of components of supporting structure used in the hinge has reduced from 92 to 4.
The company has officially claimed that during the test it folds 400,000 ties, which is equivalent to 100 folds per day over 10+ years of use.
As per the specifications the Honor Magic Vs sports a 7.9 internal foldable OLED display with a resolution of 2272 x 1984 pixels and 381 PPI. The screen supports up to a 90Hz refresh rate and 800 nits peak brightness.

Tipster Digital Chat Station has confirmed that the Chinese tech giant Huawei will release new phones called the Mate 80 series in November. These new phones will have better designs, cameras, and speed.
The company is expected to compete with Apple’s new iPhone 17 phones. Huawei will make four different Mate 80 phones: the regular Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Mate 80 Pro+, and Mate 80 RS. Each phone will have different cameras. The regular Mate 80 will have a 50-megapixel camera.
The Pro version will have a bigger 50-megapixel camera. The Pro+ and RS models will have even bigger 50-megapixel cameras.
The Pro model might have a flat screen and face recognition. The Pro+ and RS models might have curved screens that bend more.
The best phone, the Mate 80 RS, might have a 6.9-inch screen with special technology.
This screen should be brighter, use less battery power, and last longer than normal phone screens. Huawei might also use strong titanium metal for the frame and special glass on the back. Inside the phones, there will be a new chip called the Kirin 9030. The battery might be bigger than 6000mAh and charge very fast – 100W with a wire and 80W without wires. The phones might work with 5G internet and satellite communication.
The phones will use Huawei’s own software called HarmonyOS. This might work better with other Huawei devices and have more AI features. Some people think these improvements will help Huawei compete better with Apple, especially in battery life, communication, and smart features.
A Chinese company called HiSilicon Semiconductor just changed who’s in charge. The old boss, Xu Zhijun, stepped down from his job as the legal representative and chairman. Now the company’s CEO, Gao Ji, is taking over these roles.
Xu has been working at Huawei since 1993 and still has other important jobs there – he’s a vice chairman and sometimes serves as the rotating chairman. Him leaving this position is probably just Huawei moving people around to different jobs within the company.
HiSilicon is completely owned by Huawei and makes computer chips. This change in leadership might mean Huawei is trying to make things work better.
HiSilicon started in October 2004 when Huawei took its computer chip design team and turned it into its own company. The main office is in Shenzhen, but they also have offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities in China.
HUAWEI has introduced the all-new MatePad Mini tablet, in China. As per the specifications, the device is 5.1mm thin, weighs 255g, and boasts an 8.8″ 2.5K 120Hz OLED screen with 2.99mm narrow bezels.
It has support for the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, runs HarmonyOS 5.1, has a 3D heat dissipation architecture for cooling, has SIM card support, and has a 6400mAh battery with 66W fast charging support.
It also features a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide camera with macro mode, along with a single 32MP front-facing camera. These are paired with AI photo editing features. Like other HUAWEI phones, the chipset hasn’t been revealed, but it is most likely powered by HUAWEI’s own Kirin 9010 SoC, based on earlier reports.
