The Honor Magic V5 is an exceptionally slim foldable phone, coming in at just 4.2mm thick when unfolded and 9mm thick when folded. That means it’s about as thick as an average smartphone when folded, and almost impossibly slim when unfolded.
But despite being so slim it’s packed full of power and features, including a high-end Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 16GB of RAM – a combination that can see it compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
That means whether you’re playing demanding games, using AI, editing videos, or doing anything else with the Honor Magic V5 it can handle it with ease, and with 512GB of built in storage there’s almost endless space for apps, games, and files too.
The Honor Magic V5 also has a 5,820mAh battery, which is huge for a foldable phone, and allows it to last all day and beyond. Then, when you do charge it, you can juice it back up fast with 66W wired charging or 50W wireless.
The Honor Magic V5 also has exceptional cameras, with a 50MP f/1.6 wide shooter, a 50MP f/2.0 ultra-wide, and a 64MP f/2.5 telephoto, offering 3x optical zoom. Those – coupled with its 20MP front-facing cameras – mean this has most foldable phones beat for photography, while its AI skills allow for professional quality image edits.
The Honor Magic V5 has great screens too, with a big 7.95-inch foldable AMOLED display that’s got a 120Hz refresh rate and a still fairly large 6.43-inch OLED cover screen that also has a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Both screens can also reach 5,000 nits of brightness, which is extremely bright.
Other highlights of the Honor Magic V5 include its light 222g build, its impressive water and dust resistance (with both IP58 and IP59 ratings), its drop-resistant screen, its built in Gemini AI assistant, and its stylish, sleek design.
