At a recent AI technology meet in China, Honor offered a sneak peek at its upcoming foldable phone – the Magic V5. The device made its first public appearance, albeit under wraps, giving away subtle design cues. Additionally, the brand has also rolled out new teasers to showcase V5’s slim design.
Honor Magic V5 design teaser
As can be seen in the above images, the Honor Magic V5 was seen wearing a confidentiality case, but its slim profile stood out clearly. Its metal frame has flat edges, and the body is reportedly just under 8.93mm thick – nearly matching the thickness of a one Yuan coin. Weighing under 219 grams, the Magic V5 aims to be the lightest and thinnest large foldable phone ever.
The above teasers showcase the Magic V5’s golden edition. The device appears to be equipped with a large, round camera module on the back. Honor has a history of pushing limits in foldable design, and this generation continues that focus.
Alongside the hardware innovation, the Magic V5 will introduce a full-stack personal knowledge base, multi-agent AI coordination, and seamless connectivity across Honor devices – all geared towards a PC-like productivity experience on mobile.
As per leaks, the Magic V5 will feature a 7.95-inch 2K+ LTPO inner display and a 6.45-inch external screen. It’s expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version chip, paired with a 6,100mAh battery – the largest yet in a foldable – along with 80W wired and wireless charging.
Other highlights include a 200-megapixel main camera, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and support for Beidou satellite messaging. Colour options are said to include Velvet Black, Warm White, Dawn Gold, and Silk Road Dunhuang.
Honor is set to unveil the Magic V5 and other AI-focused devices, including the MagicPad 3 tablet, on July 2 in China.
