What to expect

Honor has already started to tease the capabilities of its Magic 5 series phones, including confirmation of the Honor Magic 5 Pro.

It will also unleash the global variant of the Honor Magic Vs foldable phone. We've had a play with the one launched in China at the end of last year, saying that it is a "solid-feeling, good-looking folding smartphone with two great, big screens and a hinge design that means the phone folds shut". We add that it has a "big battery, top-tier processor, fast charging, and a triple camera system" to make for "a very compelling device".

Hopefully, the international version will impress us too. We await the launch event to find out. Pocket-lint will be in attendance to bring you all the news and further impressions from the show itself.
