Honor Magic V5: Honor is once again all set to create a stir in the world of foldable smartphones. This time the company is bringing its new and powerful foldable device – Honor Magic V5, whose launch date has been confirmed. This phone is going to be launched in China on July 2, 2025, and even before the launch, teasers related to some great features and design of this phone are being shared on social media.

Periscope Telephoto Camera

The biggest highlight that has come out so far is its new and powerful 64MP periscope telephoto camera. Honor recently released a teaser on Weibo in which they said that the Magic V5 will have the highest-resolution periscope telephoto camera which is being given for the first time in any foldable smartphone. Earlier, the Honor Magic V3 had a 50MP periscope camera. The new sensor will also get OIS i.e. Optical Image Stabilization, which will make the pictures sharp and blur-free.

It is said that there will also be a 50MP primary camera and a 50MP ultra-wide angle camera on the back, making it a great camera setup.

Design

Honor has also confirmed that the Magic V5 features their own designed Luban shock-absorbing hinge, which is not only slim and light, but also drop-resistant. Apart from this, this hinge comes with AI-powered foreign object detection feature, so that if any dust or small particle enters the screen, the device can identify it and protect itself.

The thickness of the phone in the folded state is just 8.8mm, and the weight is said to be around 217 grams. This can make it the thinnest and lightest foldable phone till date.

Battery and performance

The thing that is attracting the most attention in Honor Magic V5 is its big 6100mAh battery. Foldable phones usually have a little less battery, but Honor has given a powerful battery in it, due to which this phone will run comfortably throughout the day.

To charge this big battery, it has been given 66W fast charging, so that it will charge quickly and will also run for a long time.

Processor

If the leaks are to be believed, this time the company is using Qualcomm’s latest and powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in Honor Magic V5. This means that you will get flagship level performance in all three things – speed, gaming and multitasking.

Three storage variants of the phone have also been confirmed – 12GB RAM + 256GB, 16GB RAM + 512GB and the most powerful variant will be available with 16GB RAM + 1TB storage.

Screen

Honor Magic V5 will have two great displays. On the outside there will be a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover screen, which will give the phone a normal smartphone look when closed. And when you open it, a large 8-inch 2K inner display will appear, in which watching movies, multitasking or gaming – everything will give a different experience.

Apart from this, the phone can also get IPX8 rating, due to which it will be largely protected from water and dust.

Colors and variants

Honor has decided to bring the Magic V5 in four great color options – Dawn Gold, Silk Road Dunhuang, Velvet Black and Warm White. Each color will have its own identity and none of these will shy away from giving you a stylish look.

The new Foldable Champion?

In fact, Honor Magic V5 has everything that makes a premium foldable smartphone special – slim and lightweight design, powerful camera system, flagship level performance, big battery, fast charging and attractive display.

In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that Honor Magic V5 can start a new chapter in the foldable market. Now we just have to wait for July 2, when the curtain will be lifted from this amazing device and we will all know how special this phone really is.
