Honor Magic V5 — Summary, Specs & Impressions
The Honor Magic V5 is an exceptionally thin Android foldable. It feels far more svelte than previous models and is built with aerospace-grade materials, but its thinness makes a case a smart buy.
Key points
- Dimensions: 8.8mm folded / 4.1mm open (white variant); other colors are about 9mm / 4.2mm.
- Processor & Memory: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
- Battery: 5,820mAh with Honor’s AI power-management — Honor claims long battery life.
- Displays: 6.43″ cover display; ~7.95″ main foldable display; both support MagicPen stylus.
- Cameras: 50MP f/1.6 primary (OIS), 64MP f/2.5 periscope telephoto (OIS), 50MP f/2.0 ultra-wide; 20MP selfie cameras on cover and main display.
- Price (announced/reported): ~€1,999 in EU and £1,699 in the UK (regional prices may vary).
Impressions
The Magic V5 is one of the snappiest foldables Honor has made: fast switching between screens and responsive performance. Changes versus the V3 are incremental — thinner chassis, stylus support on both screens, slightly larger main panel and modest camera upgrades — rather than a dramatic redesign.
