Honor’s CEO has confirmed that the company will launch its own flip phone later this year.

George Zhao said in an interview during MWC that preparations are in “the final stage”.

There was a recent report that some manufacturers are looking to get out of thefolding phonemarket, after poor sales. But, as well as one publicly saying that isn’t the case (at least where it is concerned), we now have another major phone maker revealing it is to expand its foldable handset range.

Honor’s CEO George Zhao has said that his company plans to introduce a rival to theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip 5later this year. He also reiterated Honor’s positive stance on foldables in general.

“This year we are preparing for the flip phone launch – now that we are internally in the final stage,” he toldCNBCin an interview duringMobile World Congressin Barcelona.

“We are very positive about foldables for the future.”

Honor already has a good track record with folding phones. ItsHonor Magic V2was launched last year to critical success and a new version in partnership with Porsche Design was announced during the show.

However, it seems flip phones are garnering the most attention from customers thanks to their smaller, more pocketable form factor. Honor clearly wants a slice of that action.

The manufacturer is also currently investing heavily in other smartphone innovations, including AI. And, during the mobile show also unveiled theHonor Magic 6 Prowith intuitive eye-tracking technology.
