HONOR Magic V5 Combines Strength, Style, and Innovation
Ultra-Slim, Ultra-Strong: The Foldable That Doesn’t Flinch
The HONOR Magic V5 isn’t just another foldable—it’s a structural flex. At just 8.8mm thin and weighing only 217g, it’s lighter than most flagship slabs and slimmer than many foldables in its class. That’s not marketing fluff. That’s engineering precision. HONOR Magic V5 Combines Strength, Style, and Innovation
HONOR’s AI-powered manufacturing system plays a key role here. It’s not just about assembling parts—it’s about optimizing every micron of material. The result? A nearly crease-free fold that feels seamless in hand. You open it, and it doesn’t feel like two screens stitched together. It feels like one continuous canvas.
As someone who’s handled foldables since their awkward, hinge-heavy beginnings, I can say this: the Magic V5 is the first that doesn’t feel like a compromise. It feels like a leap.
Built to Survive: IP58 and IP59 Ratings
Foldables have long had a reputation for fragility. HONOR flips that narrative. The Magic V5 boasts IP58 and IP59 ratings—meaning it’s resistant to dust, splashes, and even brief submersion. That’s rare air for a foldable.
The outer screen is protected by HONOR’s Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield, which resists daily wear and tear. Inside, the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Display Panel adds rigidity without bulk. And beneath it all, a carbon fiber shock buffer rated at 380GPa deformation resistance absorbs impact like a champ.
For readers, this means you can take your foldable out of the velvet pouch and into the real world. No need to baby it. No need to panic when it rains.
The Super Steel Hinge: Smooth, Silent, Strong
Let’s talk hinges. The HONOR Super Steel Hinge is rated at 2300MPa tensile strength. That’s stronger than some aerospace alloys. But it’s not just about brute force—it’s about finesse.
The hinge folds smoothly, silently, and with minimal resistance. It doesn’t wobble. It doesn’t click. It just works. And it’s built to last through thousands of folds without loosening or misaligning.
I’ve seen hinges that squeak, snap, or misalign after a few weeks. This one feels like it belongs on a luxury watch. For users, that means confidence. You can fold and unfold without fear of mechanical fatigue.
AI-Powered Manufacturing: Smarter Than You Think
HONOR’s use of AI in manufacturing isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a process that analyzes stress points, material behavior, and assembly tolerances in real time. This allows for micro-adjustments during production, resulting in tighter tolerances and better long-term durability.
It’s like having a robot craftsman that learns with every unit it builds. For readers, this translates to fewer defects, better consistency, and a device that feels premium from the first touch to the thousandth fold.
Display Experience: Seamless and Immersive
The Magic V5’s inner display is expansive and immersive. Colors pop. Blacks are deep. And thanks to the crease-minimizing design, content flows naturally across the fold. Whether you’re watching a movie, editing a document, or sketching on a digital canvas, the experience is fluid.
The outer display is equally impressive—bright, responsive, and protected against scratches. It’s not just a secondary screen. It’s a fully capable interface that handles calls, messages, and quick tasks with ease.
For users, this means you get the best of both worlds: a tablet-like experience when unfolded, and a compact phone when closed.
Colorways and Pricing: Premium Inside and Out
Available in Ivory White, Dawn Gold, and Reddish Brown, the Magic V5 doesn’t just perform—it turns heads. Each finish is refined, with a subtle texture that resists fingerprints and adds grip.
At ₱89,999, it’s priced at the upper end of the foldable spectrum—but you’re getting flagship-grade durability, design, and performance. And until September 30, HONOR throws in a FREE HONOR Choice Earbuds Clip worth ₱4,999.
That’s a solid bundle for early adopters. For readers, it’s a chance to get cutting-edge tech with a little extra audio flair.
Where to Buy and How to Pay
The HONOR Magic V5 is available nationwide through HONOR Partner and Experience Stores, and online via Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
Flexible payment options include:
- Home Credit: Up to 18 months
- Credit Cards: 6 or 12 months at 0% interest (select banks)
This makes the Magic V5 more accessible to users who want premium tech without the upfront sting. For readers, it’s a reminder that flagship innovation doesn’t have to mean financial pain.
My Take: Why This Foldable Actually Matters
I’ve reviewed foldables that felt like prototypes. The Magic V5 feels like a product. It’s refined, resilient, and ready for daily use. The hinge is strong. The screens are sharp. The build is durable. And the AI-driven manufacturing gives it a level of polish that’s hard to fake.
For readers, this means you’re not just buying a foldable for the novelty. You’re buying one that works, lasts, and looks good doing it. Whether you’re a multitasker, a mobile creative, or just someone who wants a phone that stands out, the Magic V5 delivers.
