HONOR Magic V5 Raises Foldable Smartphone Innovation Bar
HONOR Magic V5 Raises Foldable Smartphone Innovation Bar
Thinnest, Lightest Inward-Folding Marvel
HONOR just redefined portability with the Magic V5, the world’s thinnest and lightest inward-folding smartphone. At a mere 8.8 mm when closed and tipping the scales at only 217 g, it slips into any pocket unnoticed—until you flip it open. Precision-engineered through an AI-powered manufacturing system, the Magic V5 boasts an almost crease-free hinge feel you can sense with every unlock. It’s a minimalist statement that packs full-sized flagship power into a form factor that disappears in your hand.

Rugged Durability You Can Trust
Size shrank, but durability soared. The Magic V5 carries IP58 and IP59 dust- and water-resistance ratings—rare for foldables. HONOR’s Carbon Fiber Reinforced Inner Display Panel resists scratches and flex. The outer screen wears a NanoCrystal Shield, defending against daily nicks. Inside, a 380 GPa carbon-fiber layer acts as a shock buffer, while the Super Steel Hinge endures up to 2,300 MPa of tensile stress without a hint of wobble. Heavy use, accidental drops, or sudden splashes—this phone shrugs them off.
Expansive, Immersive Dual Displays
Open the Magic V5 and you’re greeted by a 7.95-inch inner AMOLED canvas. Its expansive proportions invite multitasking—two apps side by side or full-screen cinematic viewing. When closed, the 6.43-inch outer display handles notifications, calls, and quick tasks without unfolding. Both panels run at 90 Hz for smooth scrolling, with adaptive refresh to save power. Sunlight? No issue. Automatic brightness and high peak luminance keep content vivid outdoors. From cliff-hanger finales to split-screen productivity, the Magic V5 adapts to your moment.
Game-Changing Silicon-Carbon Battery
HONOR made history with the Magic V5’s 6,100 mAh silicon-carbon battery, the first mass-produced battery boasting 25 percent silicon content. Packing an industry-leading 901 Wh/L energy density, it fuels marathon streaming, gaming, and fold-out multitasking without mid-day charging anxiety. Under the hood, the Power Enhanced Chip E2 and dedicated SoC voltage regulators maximize efficiency and thermal stability. When you do need a top-up, 66 W wired and 50 W wireless SuperCharge deliver versatile, rapid refills—enough juice for hours of use in minutes.

Pro-Grade Triple Camera System
Photography buffs will gravitate to the AI Falcon Camera System. Turn heads with the 64 MP periscope telephoto lens delivering 3.5× hybrid zoom and 100× digital magnification. The 50 MP wide main camera captures crisp detail day or night, while the 50 MP ultra-wide expands your frame for dramatic landscapes and group shots. Behind the optics, AI-driven algorithms handle noise reduction, HDR, and dynamic range. Portraits gain studio-style bokeh. Sunrise-to-sunset scenes preserve every gradient. Clip a fold-out shot or selfie on the cover display—either way, the V5 transforms moments into gallery-quality memories.
MagicOS 9.0.1 and AI-Driven YOYO
At its core sits MagicOS 9.0.1, HONOR’s latest interface built for autopilot AI. Meet YOYO, your agentic assistant. Dictate a quick PPT outline. Code a function stub. Snap a live camera feed to your email. YOYO handles file sharing, ride-hailing, and even presentation creation with a single voice prompt. Its split-screen suggestions adapt as you work, prompting translations or shopping links based on text content. It’s like having a digital co-pilot that anticipates next steps and turbocharges productivity.
Snapdragon 8 Elite and 5G Prowess
Powering this flexible powerhouse is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite on a cutting-edge 3 nm process. AI accelerators supercharge on-device inference—real-time language translation, scene recognition, and YOYO queries happen locally. Gaming runs at high frame rates with latency-reducing Adreno optimizations. And with the widest 5G band support among foldables, you’ll stream, download, and cloud-sync faster than ever—even in crowded hotspots. Foldable convenience meets flagship performance in a single silicon package.
Vibrant Colorways and Pricing
Pick a finish that fits your style. Ivory White evokes minimalist purity. Midnight Black channels stealth elegance. Dawn Gold radiates luxury under morning light. Reddish Brown adds a warm, artisanal vibe. Pre-orders in China start July 2 at RMB 8,999 for the base model, with 12 GB + 512 GB storage. The top-tier 1 TB variant unlocks the silicon-carbon battery and retails for RMB 10,999. Global availability is slated for later this year—so prepare your wallets and travel adapters.
Sub section title: Production Excellence and Sustainability
HONOR’s AI-driven production lines not only deliver unprecedented precision but also reduce material waste. Automated inspection systems catch defects at micron-level tolerances, cutting rework cycles by 30 percent. Recycled aluminum and low-VOC bonding agents mark HONOR’s push toward greener manufacturing. Every Magic V5 fold is a testament to how future-forward tech can coexist with environmental responsibility.
Sub section title: Developer Ecosystem and Accessories
A robust ecosystem surrounds the Magic V5. Developers can tap into foldable-aware APIs for multi-window apps. Third-party partners are already creating attachable keyboard cases, stylus pens, and protective shells that enhance the fold-out experience. HONOR’s official magnetic charging dock snaps into place mid-fold, letting you prop the screen in tent mode for hands-free video calls or recipe reading. The future of foldable accessories rolls out of the gate.
