Honor has officially confirmed the launch date for its next foldable phone. According to an announcement on its Weibo account, the company will unveil the Honor Magic V5 at a launch event scheduled for CST 19:00 on July 2. The event will also introduce new developments in Honor’s AI terminal ecosystem, though no further details have been shared on that front.
Ahead of the event, most of the Magic V5’s key hardware specs have already surfaced through leaks.
The device, reportedly codenamed “Maybach,” features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Edition chipset. This is a higher-binned version of the regular 8 Elite that reaches up to 4.47GHz clock speed on its prime core.
Honor Magic V5 Specifications (Rumored)
The SoC will power a 7.95-inch foldable screen on the inside and a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED 2K panel on the outside. Both displays are expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Magic V5 is also expected to be a light and thin device. Its predecessor is among the world’s slimmest foldables at just 4.35mm thick when unfolded. However, Vivo’s upcoming X Fold 5 is even thinner at 4.3mm. It would be interesting to see how much slimmer Honor can go with this iteration.
Despite its slim form factor, the foldable is still expected to have a flagship camera setup. It could come with a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support, an ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.
The Magic V5 will ship with a new silicon-based battery offering a capacity of between 5950mAh and 6100mAh. This is an upgrade over last year’s Magic V3, which comes with a 5150mAh cell. It will support 66W charging, as confirmed by 3C certification.
Moreover, the Magic V5 is reportedly equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and supports Beidou satellite SMS messaging. Its color options are expected to include Velvet Black, Warm White, Dawn Gold, and a Silk Road Dunhuang finish.
