Tech fans, get ready—the foldable phone race is about to be redefined once again.
HONOR is stepping back into the spotlight with the upcoming Magic V5, a device that’s making waves even before its official debut. Following the success of the Magic V3, which broke records with its sub-10mm folded thickness, HONOR is preparing to smash that milestone with the Magic V5—boasting an astonishingly slim 8.8mm profile when folded.
Images teased by HONOR reveal the Magic V5 in an elegant gold finish, paired with an intricately designed hinge that signals premium craftsmanship. The massive triple rear camera setup, likely including a telephoto shooter, further hints at the Magic V5’s imaging prowess. According to rumors, one of the cameras could be a 200-megapixel periscope sensor, positioning the Magic V5 as one of the most powerful foldables for mobile photography.
From a design standpoint, the Magic V5 continues HONOR’s tradition of sleek innovation. The aluminum frame offers strength without bulk, and when unfolded, the phone is so thin that the USB-C port appears delicately wedged into the bottom edge.
Under the hood, leaks suggest that the Magic V5 will be powered by an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite—a move that promises top-tier performance. The foldable will feature a 6.45-inch outer display and an expansive 8-inch foldable inner display, ensuring a versatile experience whether you’re multitasking or binge-watching on the go.
Despite its thin build, the Magic V5 is rumored to pack a punch in battery life. Sources claim it will house a 6100mAh silicon-carbon battery with 66W fast charging, which could make it a standout performer in real-world usage.
The official launch is scheduled for July 2 in China, and global fans are eagerly awaiting whether HONOR will bring this ultra-slim powerhouse to more markets.
If these specs hold true, the HONOR Magic V5 is shaping up to be more than just the thinnest foldable—it could be the most refined one yet.
