Honor Magic V5 is set to launch on July 2, 2025. But ahead of the official debut, leaked hands-on images and detailed specs have surfaced, offering a comprehensive look at what could be the thinnest horizontal foldable yet—without compromising on battery life or flagship features.
Hands-on images shared by tipster Digital Chat Station show a slim and refined design—possibly even thinner than Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7, which is expected to measure 4.54mm when unfolded and include a much smaller 4,400mAh battery.
The Magic V5 has already been confirmed to measure just 8.8mm when folded, which makes it 0.1mm slimmer than the Oppo Find N5 and the slimmest foldable Android so far. The predecessor, the Magic V3, measures 9.2mm when closed. The Magic V5 also undercuts the weight of many premium smartphones, coming in at only 217g—lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra by a single gram, Magic V3 by 9g, and the Find N5 by 12g.
Despite the slim and lightweight profile, Honor hasn’t held back on battery capacity. The Magic V5 packs a 6,100mAh silicon-carbon battery—reportedly the largest in any foldable—supported by 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.
The Magic V5 is expected to come with a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide (13mm), and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x (70mm) optical zoom. Honor hasn’t revealed the exact sensor sizes yet, but recent hands-on photos reveal a noticeably raised camera bump, even thicker than the unfolded device itself—hinting at larger sensors under the hood. For comparison, the previous model used a 1/1.56″ 50MP main sensor and a 1/2.51″ 3.5x (90mm) periscope telephoto. Combined with rumored image processing upgrades, the Magic V5 could bring a meaningful step up in photography and video quality.
The device runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, and reportedly includes a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover display and a large 7.95-inch 2K foldable inner display. Whether the Magic V5 can live up to the hype remains to be seen, but based on early leaks, it’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious foldables of the year.
