Updated: 22-06-2025, 04.13 PM

Honor is preparing to shake up the foldable smartphone market once again with its upcoming Honor Magic V5 — and new leaks have now revealed some key details about the phone’s thickness, design, and camera setup. The new device is set to break records by becoming the thinnest foldable phone in the world.

Record-Breaking Thinness

According to the latest promotional poster (shared via Weibo and reported by GizmoChina), the Honor Magic V5 will be thinner than both the Honor Magic V3 and the Oppo Find N5:

  • Thickness when folded: Just 8.8 mm — thinner than the Oppo Find N5’s 8.9 mm

  • Exact thickness when unfolded remains under wraps but is expected to undercut Oppo’s 4.2 mm figure

If confirmed, this will make the Magic V5 the world’s slimmest foldable smartphone, edging out all current rivals.


Premium Camera Setup

Honor’s poster also teases an upgraded rear camera module:

  • 50MP primary camera

  • 200MP periscope telephoto camera

  • Ultra-wide lens

This powerful camera trio suggests that the Magic V5 will not only be thin and light, but also excel at mobile photography — making it a compelling choice for both design lovers and camera enthusiasts.


Lighter Than Its Rivals

The new Magic V5 is expected to weigh under 219 grams. For comparison:

  • Vivo X Fold 5 is also tipped to weigh below 219 grams

  • The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumored to be 4.54 mm thin when unfolded and under 9 mm when folded

Honor is clearly pushing hard to deliver a thin, light, and powerful foldable.


Biggest Battery in a Foldable

Battery life is a key concern for foldable devices, and Honor looks ready to deliver here as well:

  • Battery capacity: 6100mAh

  • Wired charging: 66W fast charging

  • Wireless charging: Expected to support up to 50W, similar to its predecessor

In comparison:

  • Vivo X Fold 5: 6000mAh, 90W wired, 30W wireless

  • Oppo Find N5: 5600mAh, 80W wired, 50W wireless

With these specs, the Honor Magic V5 could lead the category when it comes to battery life in foldables.


Launch Timeline

Honor has officially scheduled the Magic V5’s China launch for July 2, 2025. As other brands also gear up for launches — including Samsung and Vivo — July promises to be an exciting month for foldable phone enthusiasts.

It won’t be long before we know for sure which foldable will take the crown for thinness, lightness, and battery life — but for now, the Honor Magic V5 is shaping up to be one of the most impressive contenders in the market.
