Affordable flagship foldable smartphone spotted on Geekbench with last-gen flagship processor ahead of launch

Honor has confirmed that it will launch not 1 but 2 new foldable smartphones on July 12, 2024; however, it has dropped few hints as to how the Magic Vs3 will differ from the V3 on that day.

Then again, the former is thought to be the more wallet-friendly of the 2, based on the precedent of the Magic Vs2. That foldable smartphone made do with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC rather than the 8 Gen 2 of its flagship counterpart the V2, and now it seems the Vs3 will do the same.

It will indeed do the exact same, according to a new Geekbench listing for a device with what is now rumored to be the Vs3's model number. The Honor FLC-AN00 has scored just over 2,000 in single-core terms and just under 5,700 for multi-core tasks on the benchmark with the 8 Gen 2 and 12GB of RAM.

The "Magic Vs3" also runs Android 14 in its new leak. It is also slated to rock a periscope zoom rear camera and to have 1TB of internal storage on its launch - yet is slated to cost less than the Magic V3 - a device with predecessors costing $1,360 on Amazon right now - nonetheless.
