Now, several tipsters have claimed that there might be additional foldable devices showcased at the yearly show, including the Magic V2 Lite and Honor Magic V2 Slim. Honor, a former subsidiary of Huawei, is expected to release the Honor Magic V2 Lite (or Youth Edition in Chinese) as a toned-down version of the Honor Magic V2, which went official in China in July. It could be powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. SoC.

Several tipsters on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo (via Playfuldroid) suggested that Honor Magic V2 Lite and Honor Magic V2 Slim will go official during the IFA during the first week of September.

A tipster named Wangzai knows everything (translated from Chinese) had claimed that Honor Magic V2 Lite aka Honor Magic V2 Youth Edition will run on Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and will cost around CNY 5,000 (roughly Rs. 56,000). It is said to be positioned below the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Honor Magic V2.

Another tipster @RODENT950 on X (formerly Twitter) posted that Honor Magic V Slim is on its way to the market. It is speculated to arrive with a thin build, vertical hinge, and an outward folding design. It reportedly bagged certification from MIIT in China with the codename “Victoria'. The Honor Magic V Flip, the first clamshell foldable from Honor is also said to be in the works. The tipster also mentioned Magic 6, Magic 6 Pro, Magic 6 Ultimate, and Magic OS 8.0.

Honor hasn't yet announced any details about its upcoming foldable handsets so far. Therefore, it is recommended to take these details with a pinch of salt.
