HONOR has officially introduced its most ambitious foldable yet—the HONOR Magic V5, a premium device that pushes the boundaries of slim design, power, and intelligence. Set to hit stores in China on July 4, 2026, the Magic V5 is now the world’s thinnest foldable phone, measuring just 4.1mm when unfolded.
A New Standard in Foldable Design
The Magic V5 builds on the legacy of the Magic V3 and directly challenges rivals like the OPPO Find N5. It features an elegant eight-curve frame and 3D diamond-cut finish that play with light and structure—drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western architecture.
Available in Ivory White, Black, Dawn Gold, and Reddish Brown, the device weighs just 217-220 grams, with the Ivory White variant measuring only 8.8mm folded.
Stronger, Lighter, and More Durable
Inside, HONOR introduces the Luban Suspension Hinge, forged from durable steel and tested for 500,000 folds. Paired with aerospace-grade materials and a carbon fiber back plate, the phone promises 40x more impact resistance than standard models.
Dual Screens with Ultra Clarity
The foldable offers a 7.95-inch inner OLED display and a 6.43-inch outer OLED screen, both with adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rates, Dolby Vision, and 5,000 nits peak brightness. Protection is handled by Glory King Kong Flexible Armor on the inner screen and Giant Rhino Glass on the outer.
Powerhouse Performance
Under the hood is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. The flagship variant includes a massive 6,100mAh battery, while others pack a still-impressive 5,820mAh cell. The phone supports 66W wired, 50W wireless, and reverse wireless charging.
Versatile Triple Camera Setup
Photographers can take advantage of a 50MP main, 50MP ultra-wide, and 64MP periscope telephoto lens, backed by laser focus and a color temperature sensor. Selfies are handled by dual 20MP front cameras, positioned on both screens.
Next-Level AI Features

- AI Call Assistant
