HONOR Magic V5 Launches: Slim, Strong, Stylish Foldable
The Foldable That Lifts Furniture
Yes, you read that right. HONOR’s newest foldable smartphone, the Magic V5, can reportedly carry a 35-kg dumbbell and even support the weight of a sofa. While we don’t recommend using your phone as a moving tool, the point is clear: this device is built like a tank—just one that folds in half and fits in your pocket. HONOR Magic V5 Redefines Foldables With Strength and Style.
Launching on September 5 via a livestream on HONOR Philippines’ Facebook page, the Magic V5 isn’t just another pretty foldable. It’s a statement. A flex. A technological mic drop that says, “We’re not just thin—we’re tough too.”
Slimmer Than Ever, Stronger Than Expected
Foldables have come a long way since their chunky, crease-prone debut in 2019. HONOR has been part of that evolution, shaving millimeters off each generation while improving usability. The Magic V5 is the culmination of that journey. It’s the world’s thinnest foldable, and it’s not afraid to show it.
But slim doesn’t mean fragile. The device features HONOR’s upgraded Super Steel Hinge, which boasts a tensile strength of 2300 MPa. That’s stronger than some industrial-grade alloys. The hinge allows for a tighter fold, reducing overall thickness while maintaining structural integrity. It’s the kind of engineering that makes you wonder if HONOR hired a few aerospace engineers on the side.
Materials That Mean Business
To achieve this level of durability without adding bulk, HONOR leaned into advanced materials. The Magic V5 uses a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Display and an Anti-Scratch NanoCrystal Shield. These aren’t just marketing buzzwords—they’re the reason this phone can survive more than just a clumsy drop.
The device also carries IP58 and IP59 ratings for dust and water resistance. So yes, it’s foldable, sleek, and strong enough to survive a rainstorm or a rogue splash of coffee. It’s basically the Bear Grylls of smartphones—minus the survivalist beard.
Display That Dazzles
The Magic V5 features two OLED displays: a 6.43-inch external panel and a 7.95-inch internal screen. Both offer a 120Hz refresh rate, 4,320Hz PWM dimming, and up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness. Whether you’re binge-watching, video calling, or doomscrolling, the visuals are crisp, vibrant, and easy on the eyes.
And yes, both screens come with 20MP selfie cameras. Because in 2025, one front camera just isn’t enough. You need options. You need angles. You need to look good from every fold.
Power Under the Hood
Inside, the Magic V5 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It’s fast. It’s responsive. It’s ready for multitasking, gaming, and everything in between.
The battery? A 5,820mAh Silicon-Carbon powerhouse that supports 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. Translation: you’ll spend less time tethered to a wall and more time showing off your foldable to curious strangers.
Cameras That Compete
On the back, the Magic V5 sports a triple camera setup:
- 50MP main sensor with OIS
- 50MP ultra-wide lens
- 64MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom
Whether you’re capturing landscapes, portraits, or zooming in on the moon (because why not?), the Magic V5 delivers sharp, detailed shots. It’s a foldable that doesn’t compromise on photography.
Launch Details and Pre-Order Perks
HONOR Philippines is offering exclusive pre-order bundles until September 5. Early buyers can score freebies worth up to PHP 18,000, including an HONOR Pad X8a. The device will be available via Globe Postpaid and HONOR retail stores nationwide.

HONOR’s Foldable Philosophy
Stephen Cheng, HONOR Philippines VP, summed it up best: “The HONOR Magic V5 exemplifies progress, setting a new industry benchmark as the world’s thinnest foldable and redefining what slim truly means in the foldable category.”
It’s not just about specs. It’s about redefining expectations. HONOR isn’t just making foldables thinner—they’re making them stronger, smarter, and more stylish. And if the Magic V5 can carry a sofa, it can probably handle your daily grind.
