"But let's be clear. At £1,699.99, there's no way this smartphone is going to make our guide to the best budget cameraphones. And yes, that is still cheaper than the recently released Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, but foldable phones are a luxury item - this is a cutting edge, eye-wateringly expensive phone that does things because it can, not because it needs to. Let's dig into it..."
"This is a very thin phone. 4.1mm thin. That makes it the thinnest smartphone on the market right now - not only cool, but useful, when you consider that, when folded, you'll have double that in your pocket. I put it in my pocket and - after explaining to a concerned staff member that no, I wasn't trying to have it away - it felt the same, if not a little thinner, than my iPhone 16 Pro, with silicone case."
Camera and display emerge as the standout elements of the Honor Magic V5, elevating expectations for foldable phones. The device costs £1,699.99, positioning it firmly as a premium, luxury product rather than a budget cameraphone. The Magic V5 measures 4.1mm thin and weighs 217g, delivering an impressively slim and pocketable folded experience. Structural strength is emphasized through a demo showing the unfolded device supporting a 35kg dumbbell and a crease that feels solid in use. The handset includes AI-focused hardware with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, Google Gemini, and 16GB of RAM for high performance.
