Ultra-Slim Design That Doesn’t Feel Like a Brick
Foldables are often bulky, but the HONOR Magic V5 isn’t. It’s just 8.8mm thick when folded and a barely-there 4.1mm when open.
- Lighter than most foldables in its class
- Feels like a regular phone in hand
- Comes in four colour options: Dawn Gold, Ivory White, Reddish Brown, and Black
Despite being ultra-slim, the Magic V5 doesn’t compromise on usability. It’s built to feel like a phone, not a science experiment.
A Foldable With Actual Battery Life
The Magic V5 packs a 5,820mAh silicon-carbon battery — the largest ever in a foldable device.
- 15% more silicon = more juice, less weight
- Supports 66W wired and 50W wireless HONOR SuperCharge
- Easily gets you through a full day
For a foldable, that’s impressive. You won’t need to panic by lunchtime.
Tough Enough to Lift 104kg — Literally
This thing is strong. HONOR set a Guinness World Record for the “Heaviest Weight Lifted by a Suspended Foldable Smartphone” — 104kg.
- IP58 and IP59 rated for water and dust resistance
- 15x more scratch-resistant NanoCrystal Shield
- Super Steel Hinge rated for 500,000 folds
- Supports up to 100kg vertically
Translation: You’re not going to baby this phone. And you won’t need to.
AI That Does Something Useful
The HONOR Magic V5 uses AI to make life easier, not just flashier.
- Magic Sidebar suggests actions based on what you’re doing
- Auto-subtitles while watching videos
- Summarises articles in real-time
- Google Gemini built in, accessible with a tap on the back
No fluff here — the AI is integrated into how you use the phone. It’s not a gimmick.
Zoom Without the Noise
The Magic V5 brings the best zoom ever on a foldable, thanks to HONOR’s AI Falcon Camera System.
- 64MP Ultra Sensing Periscope Telephoto Camera
- 3x Optical Zoom
- 100x Digital Zoom with AI Super Zoom
Whether you’re snapping cityscapes or spying on your neighbour’s cat, it holds up.
Snapdragon 8, No Compromise
Under the hood, you’re getting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite chip with 3nm architecture.
- Delivers strong multitasking and smooth gaming
- Handles AI tasks on-device
- Built for power users and media junkies
You’re not giving up speed for the fold.
