Honor introduces a purse like foldable smartphone concept- Honor V Purse at IFA 2023
We have talked a number of times about how foldable smartphones have currently become a new trend in the mobile industry. Most of the brands out there have already introduced their foldable devices with their unique features while some of the brands will be launching their foldable flagships soon in the market. Well, what if we tell you that a foldable device might also feature an outward-facing display?
Yes, you read that right!! Honor Global has showcased a new foldable smartphone concept at IFA 2023. According to this concept, the smartphone can be folded outwards while it has a separate camera bar on the rear side. This is not the only surprising element of the concept introduced as Honor V Purse. Other than this the foldable device can also be carried as a fashion accessory similar to a purse with interchangeable straps and chains.

As visible through the video, it just looks like a purse that offers innovative features. The Honor V Purse is 9mm when folded while the brand calls this concept a “phy-digital fashion statement.” It is showcased with the Always on display feature and some interesting textures like chains, feathers, and tassels that reach and sway with the smartphone when carried as a purse.
The Always on Display feature helps in setting up some handbag-style wallpapers on the device while the device can sense motion that reflects on the display. Other than this the video also shows the app icons that appear on the outer screen as bracelet charm which is kind of unique and interesting to look at.
For now, this is just a concept that was showcased by Honor and there was no confirmation whether the company will introduce a foldable device based on this concept or not.
