HONOR Magic V5

Long & Detailed Description

The HONOR Magic V5 is a cutting-edge foldable smartphone that pushes the limits of design, performance, and versatility. As a “book-style” foldable, it offers both an outer display for quick tasks and a larger inner main display when unfolded, combining the portability of a phone with the immersive experience of a tablet.

• When folded, the device is incredibly slim: 8.8 mm thickness and weighs around 217 grams, making it one of the lightest and slenderest foldables in the market.

• When unfolded, it opens to a 7.95-inch LTPO OLED inner display with 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR support, and peak brightness of 5,000 nits.

• The outer display is a 6.43-inch OLED, also 120 Hz, letting you use many features without unfolding.

• Under the hood is Snapdragon 8 Elite (3 nm), paired with up to 16 GB RAM and 512 GB internal storage in global versions.

• The camera system is robust: a 50 MP main camera (with OIS), a 64 MP telephoto lens (3× optical zoom), and a 50 MP ultra-wide lens.

• Selfies and video calling are handled by a 20 MP front camera (on the main display side).

• The battery is 5,820 mAh (for the international model), with 66 W wired charging, 50 W wireless charging, and reverse wired charging for other devices.

• HONOR equips the Magic V5 with IP58 / IP59 ingress protection—resistance to dust and water spray—something many foldables skip.

• On software, it runs MagicOS 9.0 / Android 15, with many advanced features: Multi-Flex (multi-window support), multi-tasking with up to three apps on screen simultaneously, and an AI toolkit for gestures, photo editing, and productivity enhancements. Honor

• Other niceties: a durable hinge rated for ~500,000 folds, anodized aluminum frame, and enhancements like NanoCrystal Shield for screen durability and reduced reflection.

In real life, the Magic V5 blends phone and tablet utility—when folded it’s easy to pocket and use with one hand; when unfolded, it becomes a productive, immersive canvas. The seamless transitions, strong performance, and versatile camera setup make it capable for work, content creation, media, and multitasking. Some trade-offs remain: the camera bump is large, and software polish has been noted as uneven in reviews.
