Honor appears to be preparing several ambitious devices for its next product cycle, with a new wide foldable drawing particular attention. The device is reportedly being tested with Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship platform, while other Honor phones are also tipped to receive unusually large batteries.

According to tipster Wisdom Pikachu, Honor’s wide foldable is currently being tested with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, built on a 2nm process. The tipster claims it is currently the only wide foldable being tested with this platform. If the information is accurate, the device could become Honor’s first horizontally folding smartphone to use the latest generation of flagship silicon.

Earlier information suggests the foldable could feature a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen. Its design is expected to use a new body process with a horizontal camera island. The device is also tipped to pack a 7,000mAh battery and a triple-camera setup led by a 200-megapixel primary sensor, with Honor’s imaging technology also expected to be part of the package.

Digital Chat Station has claimed in the above Weibo post that Honor is testing another 11,600mAh battery with a typical capacity of around 12,000mAh, alongside previously mentioned 11,790mAh/12,000mAh-class batteries. Two more single-cell batteries are reportedly rated at 9,800mAh and 9,850mAh, with these solutions expected to appear across the Win 2, X and Power series.

At the same time, Honor is also reportedly working on a second-generation Robot Phone under its Alpha project. DCS said the hardware definition of the Alpha second-generation project is already at a very high level, although it remains unclear whether Honor will introduce another unconventional form factor. The first-generation Robot Phone itself has already been officially showcased by Honor as part of its ALPHA PLAN, featuring a motorized gimbal camera and embodied AI capabilities.
