Is the new Honor Magic V5 the slimmest foldable phone on the market? Honor claims it is, but let's be real—does that even matter? This device isn’t just about being thin; it has a ton of impressive features. After its international launch, the V5 is set to hit European shores in less than two weeks. Are you excited to get your hands on one?

Sleek Design and Impressive Specs

Choose from various colorways and enjoy a foldable phone that can measure as lean as 8.8mm when closed, and weighs in at just 217 grams—10 grams lighter than the iPhone 16 Pro Max! When folded, it easily slips into your pocket.

The cover display is a magnificent 6.43-inch LTPO screen with nearly 1080p+ resolution and a dazzling peak brightness of 5,000 nits, all protected by Honor's durable NanoCrystal Shield glass. Plus, with an IP58/IP59 rating, this phone isn’t just pretty; it's also resistant to dust and can handle moisture exposure.

A Tablet in Your Pocket

The magic truly happens when you unfold the V5 to reveal a stunning 7.95-inch LTPO display, transforming it into a handy small tablet. Unlike its competitor Samsung, Honor has retained stylus support, making this phone an excellent tool for creatives.

Power Meets Performance

Under the hood, the Magic V5 is equipped with a robust 5,820mAh Si/C battery, supporting fast charging at 66W wired and 50W wirelessly. That blows the Z Fold7 out of the water, which only offers 4,400mAh and slower charging options.

Capture Every Moment

Photography enthusiasts will love the V5's camera setup: a main 50MP sensor paired with a 64MP telephoto lens and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. While the Samsung offers a higher 200MP sensor, its telephoto and ultra-wide options fall flat in comparison.

The Power of Snapdragon and MagicOS

This powerhouse runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and launches with Android 15, featuring MagicOS 9 for a smooth user experience. For an in-depth look, don’t miss our unboxing and hands-on footage.

Though the European price is still under wraps, the Honor Magic V5 retails for about MYR 7,000 in Malaysia—around $1,650. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is MYR 8,400, and the Oppo Find N5 comes in at MYR 8,000. The vivo X Fold5 is also priced at MYR 7,000, while the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is anticipated next month without any pricing details yet.
