Honor Magic V5: the world's thinnest foldable goes all out against the Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Honor Magic V5 arrives with record-breaking slimness, a 6,100 mAh battery, and 64 MP cameras to challenge the Galaxy Z Fold

Honor has introduced the new Magic V5 in China, its brand-new foldable smartphone that is already positioning itself as the thinnest in the world. The device directly targets the Galaxy Z Fold 7, featuring an ultra-thin design and a battery that surprises with its capacity.

With just 4.1 mm thick when open (0.16 inches) and 8.8 mm when closed (0.35 inches), the Magic V5 raises the bar in the foldable market. In addition, it incorporates a 6,100 mAh battery without sacrificing power or autonomy.

An extremely thin design that varies by color

The record thickness is achieved only in the white version, which is also the lightest at 217 grams (0.48 pounds). The black, gold, and red editions add a bit more thickness and reach 222 grams (0.49 pounds).

Honor reduced the size compared to the Magic V3, which measured 4.4 mm when open (0.17 inches). Even so, it managed to integrate more powerful components and a larger battery thanks to silicon-carbon technology.

More battery in less space

One of the most striking achievements is having included a 6,100 mAh battery, far surpassing the 5,150 mAh of the previous model. The brand also keeps 66 W fast charging and 50 W wireless charging.

In other parts of the world, the model could arrive with a slightly smaller battery, around 5,820 mAh. Even so, it would still be among the best in the segment.

Screens with 5,000 nits brightness

The Magic V5 features two LTPO OLED panels. The external one is 6.43 inches with a 2376 x 1060 px resolution and 120 Hz. The internal one measures 7.95 inches and reaches 2352 x 2172 px with the same refresh rate.

Both screens offer a maximum brightness of 5,000 nits, making them ideal for use even under sunlight.

A premium camera system

The main module integrates a 50 MP f/1.6 sensor, a 50 MP f/2.0 ultra-wide, and a 64 MP telephoto with f/2.5 aperture and a 70 mm lens.

This set places it among the best camera phones on the market, following the premium trend of the rest of the device.

Snapdragon 8 Elite and up to 1 TB of storage

As expected, the Magic V5 incorporates a Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm's most powerful chip. It is available in three configurations: 12 GB/256 GB, 16 GB/512 GB, and 16 GB/1 TB.

All the hardware is designed for demanding users who seek top performance without sacrificing portability.
