Recent leaks have raised the possibility that the brand may completely abandon the production of book-style foldable models.

On the Huawei side, the Mate X7 model is expected to be introduced in the second half of the year. It is suggested that the company will use Kirin processor in this model. It was also claimed that Honor will introduce the Magic V4 model in June.
