The Honor Magic V5 is not just another foldable phone—it’s a productivity powerhouse designed to push the limits of what a smartphone can do. With its ultra-slim form factor, stunning display, multitasking brilliance, and a flagship-level camera system, the Magic V5 aims to replace both your standard smartphone and even your tablet.
At first glance, you might mistake the Magic V5 for a regular flagship phone, thanks to its ultra-slim profile and lightweight build. Unfolded, it measures just 4.1 mm thick, and when folded, it still maintains a sleek 8.8 mm thickness, weighing around 220 g. Honor’s engineering makes it feel like a traditional candy-bar smartphone while packing in foldable capabilities. The IP58/IP59 water and dust resistance further adds to its durability.
Immersive Display Experience
The Magic V5 features a 7.95-inch LTPO AMOLED main display with 1B colors, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 5000 nits peak brightness—ideal for vivid visuals. The 6.43-inch cover display also boasts LTPO OLED technology, ensuring seamless transitions between folded and unfolded use. Whether you’re browsing, gaming, or editing videos, the visuals are rich and buttery smooth.
Multitasking Like Never Before
Honor takes multitasking to the next level. Users can effortlessly open three apps side by side—from Chrome, Instagram, and TikTok to productivity tools like PowerPoint and CapCut. The large inner screen makes video editing, document reviews, and web browsing an absolute delight.
For power users, connecting the Magic V5 to an external display unlocks desktop mode, giving you a PC-like experience. Pair it with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and you essentially have a portable workstation.
Flagship Cameras with Periscope Telephoto
The Magic V5 is among the best camera-equipped foldables. The triple camera setup includes:
- 50 MP wide lens with OIS for sharp details
- 64 MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom
- 50 MP ultra-wide lens for landscapes and group shots
Honor’s enhanced natural color processing and dynamic range improvements ensure DSLR-like quality. Portraits, travel shots, and low-light photography all benefit from these upgraded sensors.
Performance & Battery
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (3 nm) and Adreno 830 GPU, the Magic V5 handles gaming, multitasking, and 4K video editing without breaking a sweat. Storage options go up to 1TB with 16GB RAM.
The silicon-carbon battery (5820 mAh international / 6100 mAh China variant) provides all-day power. With 66W wired and 50W wireless fast charging, you can quickly top up and stay on the move.
Enhanced Productivity Features

Final Verdict
The Honor Magic V5 is no gimmick. It’s slim, durable, and packed with features that make it a legitimate tablet replacement. If you’re a power user who values productivity, multitasking, and premium photography in a foldable design, this might just be your ultimate smartphone.
