Honor's Magic V5 measures 0.1mm thinner by main body than some rivals in its white finish while other colors use different materials and match competitor sizes. The device uses a 15 percent silicon-carbon blend battery delivering 5,820mAh capacity, far exceeding many competitors. The phone runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite, offers up to 16GB RAM, and carries an IP58/59 dust and water rating. Camera hardware includes a 50MP main and ultrawide plus a 64MP telephoto. Pricing starts at £1,699.99/€1,999. Honor also launched the 13.3" MagicPad 3 tablet and the 14.6" MagicBook Art 14 laptop.
I've just reviewed the Magic V5, which is a whole 0.1mm thinner than either the Oppo Find N5 or Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. That only counts for the white model though, with the other colors matching Oppo and Samsung phones in size thanks to different materials for the finish. It's also only counting the phone's main body - Honor's supersized camera bump is thicker than those of its rivals, and if you measure by that then Oppo still holds the crown.
Other specs include Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, up to 16GB of RAM, and an IP58 / 59 rating that almost matches the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold on dust protection. The giant camera bump isn't just for show either: the 50-megapixel main and ultrawide cameras, and 64-megapixel telephoto, are among the best I've used on any foldable phone.
