Beijing, July 3 — Honor has officially launched its latest foldable flagship, the Honor Magic V5, in China, taking the premium smartphone game to the next level. With a 2K foldable OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, advanced triple camera setup, and up to 1TB storage, the Magic V5 is designed for users who demand style, power, and productivity in one seamless device.

Honor Magic V5

Immersive Foldable Display

At the heart of the Magic V5 is a 7.95-inch 2K OLED foldable inner display, offering a high-resolution and vibrant viewing experience. The 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover screen ensures that users don’t need to unfold the phone for every task. The internal display supports up to 5,000 nits peak brightness and 4,320Hz PWM dimming, designed to minimize eye strain during extended usage.

Top-of-the-Line Performance

The Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC powers the Magic V5, making it a performance beast built for multitasking, gaming, and productivity. The phone is available in configurations offering up to 16GB RAM and 1TB internal storage, running Android 15 layered with MagicOS 9.1. The device also features Deepseek AI tools, enhancing workflow efficiency with intelligent multitasking capabilities.

Pro-Grade Triple Camera System

Honor has equipped the Magic V5 with a triple rear camera setup:

50MP main sensor
50MP ultra-wide-angle lens
64MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS

Selfie and video call experiences are elevated with dual 20MP front cameras—one on the inner screen and one on the cover display—ensuring versatility and clarity across all modes.

Big Battery, Fast Charging

Battery life is another standout. The top-end variant comes with a 6,100mAh battery, while others feature a 5,820mAh pack. Both support 66W wired and 50W wireless charging, meaning quick recharges and extended uptime for daily use.

Durable and Lightweight Design

Durability meets elegance in the Magic V5. It’s rated IP58 and IP59 for dust and water resistance — rare in the foldable segment. When folded, the phone is 8.8mm thick, and just 4.1mm when unfolded. Despite the large screen and battery, the phone weighs only 217 grams, keeping it light and portable.

Connectivity and Modern Features

This foldable doesn’t skimp on connectivity. It offers:

Dual nano SIM slots
5G and 4G support
Wi-Fi 7
Bluetooth 6.0
GPS
NFC
USB Type-C

Together, these features ensure smooth wireless communication, fast internet, and secure transactions.

Pricing and Availability

Currently, the Honor Magic V5 is exclusive to the Chinese market, priced as follows:

12GB + 256GB – CNY 8,999 (~₹1,07,500)
16GB + 512GB – ~₹1,19,000
16GB + 1TB – ~₹1,31,000

India Launch: Coming Soon?

While there’s no official word yet on the India launch, the growing interest in foldables and Honor’s recent activity in the Indian market suggest that Magic V5 may soon make its way to Indian shores — likely through premium online and offline channels.
