Honor Magic V5: Honor is once again coming to create a stir with its new flagship foldable device Honor Magic V5. The company itself has informed on its Weibo page that this phone will be launched in China next month i.e. on July 2. Although it will be available only in China right now, but it is expected that later it will also knock in other markets.
Launch date, time and pre-booking
Honor has confirmed that the Honor Magic V5 event will be held on July 2, at 7 pm China time (4:30 pm in India). Pre-booking for this great foldable phone has already started on the company’s official website.
Design: Thin, light and completely new style
Honor CEO James Lee showed a glimpse of the Magic V5 at MWC Shanghai 2025. In this, the camera island was seen slightly raised, and on the other side the volume rocker and power button were also seen in the design. The special thing is that the company is claiming that it will be the world’s thinnest and lightest foldable smartphone. It will compete with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is 3.9mm thick when open and 8.9mm when closed. At the same time, the thickness of the previous generation Honor Magic V3 was 9.3mm, this time the Magic V5 can break this record.
Chip, RAM and Software: Power and Smart Mark
The Magic V5 is expected to get the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which was seen on Geekbench under the model number MHG-AN00. Along with this, 16GB of RAM is going to be available, so that there will be no interruption in multitasking and power use. Apart from this, the phone will be powered by ColorOS based on Android 15 and it is being manufactured with IPX8 rating, that is, it will be completely safe from water.
Display and Camera: The real beauty behind the scenes
The identity of a foldable phone is its screen, and the Honor Magic V5 is leaving no stone unturned in this. The phone will have a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover display on the front and an 8-inch 2K inner screen when opened, which will give a new experience in both viewing and working.
The camera module will include three sensors – a 50MP main camera, an ultra-wide, and a 200MP periscope telephoto sensor. This will allow photography enthusiasts to take great photos and videos in all close-up, wide, zoom and low-light conditions.
Battery and charging: Long-lasting battery
The Magic V5 will have a massive 6,100mAh battery, which will easily support a full day of use. The charging speed will also be quite fast, as it will get 66W wired fast charging. That means now whether you use apps, watch videos or do tasks – there will be no problem of battery draining quickly.
Finally a look…
The Honor Magic V5 is the phone that will emerge as the highlight in foldable phones. Its announcement is not only going to set records in terms of display and design, but it also seems to be a step ahead of its time in terms of camera, performance and battery.
Although it will be limited to China for now, but later it will start a new journey in the world of technology by coming to other markets including India. The biggest thing is that Honor is not leaving out any feature – whether it is the screen size, camera setup, battery life or the power of the processor. The curtain will be lifted from the camera of this phone on July 2 and it will write a new chapter in the tech world.
