The Honor Magic V5 achieves the world’s thinnest book-style foldable status by a marginal 0.1mm advantage over rivals like the Oppo Find N5 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. The thickness difference is imperceptible in side-by-side comparison, making the thinness claim largely academic. The V5 distinguishes itself with substantially better battery life compared with those competitors, addressing a major concern for potential foldable phone buyers. The device launched in China and has been released in Europe at a price of £1,699.99 / €1,999 (about $2,300). An official US release is not expected.
Honor's Magic V5 is the thinnest book-style foldable in the world, but you probably couldn't tell. It's just 0.1mm thinner - that's four-thousandths of an inch - than the Oppo Find N5 or Samsung's recent Galaxy Z Fold 7. If that's a difference you claim to perceive, then I'm afraid I simply don't believe you. I've put the V5 side by side with the Find N5 and I can barely feel the difference, let alone see it.
Fortunately, the Magic V5 has one extra trick up its sleeve: better battery life than either of those phones, and quite substantially so when compared to the Samsung, solving one of the last concerns people have about switching to folding phones. The Magic V5 was announced in China early last month, but today it was released in Europe too, where it costs £1,699.99 / €1,999 (around $2,300). That already gives it a leg up over the Oppo Find N5, which isn't available outside Asia. Don't expect it to officially release in the US, though.
