Why Everyone’s Talking About the Honor Magic V5

Thinnest foldable smartphone? Tell me more!"

That’s not just a marketing claim—according to Honor’s global announcement, the Magic V5 sets a new benchmark in the world of foldables. Folding down to an astonishing 8.8mm (taking the crown from Oppo’s Find N5) and unfurling to a mere 4.1mm (sans camera bump), the Magic V5 is rewriting the playbook on what foldable smartphones can look and feel like.

Engineering Brilliance: The Design & Durability Journey

Slimmer, Lighter, Tougher

Honor’s strategy this year? Slim down without dialing back the “wow” factor. At 8.8mm, the Magic V5 is officially the planet’s slimmest bi-fold smartphone. But the fun doesn’t stop there:

• Weight: Just 217g—yes, lighter than many flagship slab phones!
• IP58 Rating: Enhanced dust and water resistance lets you brave the rainy season and sandy getaways without fear.
• Hinge of Steel: The Super Steel Hinge can literally withstand up to 35kg.

Taking a Punch—Thanks to Non-Newtonian Fluid Tech

You don’t need a degree in physics to appreciate this: Honor has integrated reinforced Non-Newtonian Fluid technology into the Magic V5’s casing. This liquid magic morphs from soft to tough when impacted, offering next-level drop protection—think shock absorption on steroids!

Worried about dust or grit sneaking inside? The new AI-Powered Foreign Object Detection can sense particles as tiny as 0.8mm. Tiny invaders like sand won't stand a chance, and you get an immediate alert, saving your investment from a gritty doom.

Longevity Without the Lumps

• Folding Cycles: Rated for a monumental 500,000 folds—that’s equivalent to 100 folds per day for 13 years!
• Battery Life: Packs an admirable 5,820mAh battery (globally) and a whopping 6,100mAh for China’s home market.

Inside and Out: Vivid Visuals, Smoother Than Ever

• Primary Display: 7.95-inch LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate—perfect for high-def binge-watching, gaming, or multitasking.
• Cover Display: 6.43-inch LTPO OLED, also at 120Hz—so even when closed, you get a flagship experience.

This leap in tech ensures colors that pop, velvet-smooth scrolling, and energy-smart adaptive performance.

Snapdragon 8 Elite: Blazing Fast

Beneath the svelte exterior, Honor plunks in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, one of the fastest mobile platforms on the market. Whether you’re editing 8K videos or running AI apps, the Magic V5 glides through tasks with effortless grace.

• RAM/Storage Options: From 12GB+256GB to a mighty 16GB+1TB setup—enough for demanding users and digital packrats alike.

Zoom, Snap, Create: Camera Innovation at Work

Why settle for “good enough” when you can have legendary? Honor squeezes serious camera firepower into its svelte frame:

• 64MP Periscope Telephoto Lens: Up to 100x digital zoom for capturing moon craters—or your pet’s adorable nose from across the garden.
• 50MP Main Camera: Crisp, clear, and color-rich in all lighting conditions.
• 50MP Ultra-wide Angle: Fit the entire family reunion—or that mountain landscape—without taking a step back.
• 20MP Selfie Cameras x2: Both inner and outer displays host a high-res shooter for flawless selfies and video calls.

Supercharged Charging (Wired & Wireless!)

Low battery blues? Not with this beast! The Magic V5 supports ultra-fast wired (66W Honor SuperCharge) and speedy 50W wireless charging. Match that with its colossal battery, and you can go from zero to hero in minutes, not hours.

Pricing, Freebies & Early-Bird Treats

• China Pricing: Starts at CNY 8,999 (~RM5,319) for 12/256GB; top variant at CNY 10,999 (~RM6,502).
• Malaysian Pricing: To be revealed at launch—so keep your eyes peeled on launch day!

Past launches sweetened the pot with spectacular early-bird gifts—from watches to wireless chargers and a year-long screen protection plan. Expect the same generosity (if not more) when the Magic V5 hits Malaysian shores.
