HONOR Unleashes the Magic V5: A New Era for Foldable Flagships

HONOR is pushing the boundaries of foldable smartphone technology with the introduction of the HONOR Magic V5. Here is an early preview of the Global Edition of the Honor Magic V5, the device that redefines what’s possible in terms of design, performance, and imaging capabilities. Set to challenge the current foldable landscape, the Magic V5 arrives with an impressive suite of hardware specifications designed to deliver a premium user experience.

Unprecedented Slimness and Robust Design

One of the most striking features of the Honor Magic V5 is its skinny profile. When unfolded, the device measures a mere 4.1mm, making it one of the slimmest foldables on the market. Even when folded, it maintains an impressive 8.8mm thickness, showcasing HONOR’s engineering prowess. This svelte design doesn’t compromise on durability, as the Magic V5 boasts an IP58 & IP59 rating, offering a strong degree of protection against dust and water. Adding to its resilience is the HONOR Super Armoured Inner Screen, promising enhanced protection for the foldable display, all for 217g with the thinnest and lightest foldable phone to date.

A Visual Masterpiece: The Immersive Display

The Magic V5 features a stunning 7.95-inch OLED display that offers an incredibly immersive viewing experience. With a sharp 2352*2172 pixels resolution and a remarkable 403 PPI pixel density, content appears crisp and vibrant. The display supports 1.07 billion colours and a 100% DCI-P3 wide colour gamut, ensuring true-to-life colour reproduction.

For incredibly smooth visuals, the screen boasts a refresh rate of up to 120Hz with LTPO technology, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the refresh rate to optimise battery life. Perhaps most impressively, the display reaches an astonishing peak brightness of up to 5000 nits, making it exceptionally legible even in bright outdoor conditions. To further enhance productivity and creative possibilities, the Magic V5 also offers stylus support.

Powering Through the Day: Battery and Performance

Under the hood, the HONOR Magic V5 is powered by the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, ensuring top-tier performance for demanding applications, multitasking, and gaming. This powerful processor is complemented by a generous 16GB of RAM and a spacious 512GB of internal storage, providing ample room for all your apps, photos, and videos, and ensuring smooth operation.

Keeping the device running throughout the day is a substantial 5820mAh battery, a capacity that stands out in the foldable segment and promises extended usage without constant recharging.

Capturing Every Moment: A Versatile Camera System

Photography enthusiasts will find much to appreciate in the Magic V5’s advanced camera setup. The rear camera system features a versatile triple-lens configuration:

50MP Wide Camera (f/1.6) with OIS: This main sensor is designed to capture stunning detail and clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions, thanks to its wide aperture and optical image stabilisation.
64MP Periscope Telephoto Lens Camera (f/2.5) with OIS: Offering impressive zoom capabilities, this periscope lens brings distant subjects closer without sacrificing image quality, again benefiting from OIS for stable shots.
50MP Ultra Wide Camera (f/2.0): Perfect for capturing expansive landscapes and group photos, the ultra-wide lens ensures you fit more into your frame.

The rear camera system is capable of capturing photos with a remarkable resolution of up to 9216*6912 pixels.

For selfies and video calls, the Magic V5 features a dual 20MP Wide Camera (f/2.2) setup, with one located on the interior screen and another on the exterior screen, offering flexibility for various scenarios. These front cameras can capture photos with a resolution of up to 3840*5120 pixels.
