HONOR has launched the Magic V5, its latest foldable smartphone, and it’s impressively slim. Measuring just 8.8mm when folded and 4.1mm when open, it ranks among the thinnest foldables on the market, competing with devices from Samsung, OnePlus, and rumored Apple models.
Design & Display
The Magic V5 features a 6.43-inch external LTPO OLED display and a 7.95-inch internal folding display, both running at 120Hz and reaching 5,000 nits peak brightness. Both screens support stylus input, making it ideal for note-taking, sketching, or creative work. The phone also includes Multi-Flex mode, allowing users to run up to three apps simultaneously for enhanced multitasking.
Performance & Battery
Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, the phone offers up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It packs a 5,820mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging, ensuring long-lasting use. The device is IP58/IP59 rated, giving it dust and water resistance—a rare feature for foldables.

Photography is handled by a triple rear camera setup:
-
50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization
-
50MP ultra-wide lens
-
64MP periscope telephoto camera with 3× optical zoom
Front cameras are available on both the outer and inner displays for selfies or video calls. AI features, powered by Google’s Gemini AI and HONOR’s custom tools like HONOR Notes, enhance productivity and creativity.
