The mystical Z FIip 7 rival I’m referring to here is the Honor Magic V Flip 2, which we’ve talked about recently. Now, new claims about the Magic V Flip 2 are made by well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station and some confusion is introduced:

The person(s) behind the popular account claim that Honor’s clamshell (expected on August 21) will pack Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Until recently, Rumorsville had it that the Honor Magic V Flip 2 could be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, so we’ll just have to wait this one out until the premiere.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the bees’ knees until not so long ago in terms of silicon, is performing both better and worse than the Exynos 2500 in single- and multi-core tests, depending on which device it’s in:
Interestingly enough, the Exynos 2500 gets destroyed in terms of 3D scores, so keep that in mind.
Of course, the single-core scores do not vary greatly, so the Honor Magic V Flip 2 will perform at similar Galaxy Z Flip 7 levels even if it’s not fully optimized.

However, when it comes to the battery, the Honor Magic V Flip 2 is expected to destroy not just Z Flip 7 (4,300 mAh), but all other rivals out there with a rumored 5,500 mAh cell. If the rumor turns out to be true, the Magic V Flip 2 would be the flip phone with the largest battery.
Besides the chipset and the battery, Honor’s champ should feature a 6.82-inch LTPO OLED foldable display with a 2868 x 1232 resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and ultra-thin glass for added durability.
The cameras include a 50MP selfie camera on the inside, plus a rear setup with a 200MP main lens and a 50MP ultra-wide lens with a 120-degree field of view.
Sounds like a heavy hitter, despite the slightly dated chipset!
