After the comeback in the European market and a lot of rumors, Honor has finally announced its first foldable phone: the Honor Magic V. Just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and the OPPO Find N, the Honor Magic V is a foldable smartphone that can turn into a tablet thanks to a big foldable display placed internally. The phone debuted in China about a month after the launch of the OPPO Find N, and it may represent a good alternative to the OPPO flagship since it is going to register the sold out everywhere. This comparison will highlight the differences between Honor Magic V and OPPO Find N: the latest Chinese foldable phones.

Design

Despite the Honor Magic V coming in a special leather variant, I prefer the design of the OPPO Find N and I think most people do. The reason is simple: it has a more compact form factor because it has a much smaller external display. Further, the rear cover reminds of the “impossible surface” of the OPPO Find X3 Pro, with a camera protruding gradually from the cover. The OPPO Find N is made with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and an aluminum frame, and it has a side-mounted fingerprint reader. The form factor of the Honor Magic V is the same, but with bigger dimensions and a taller external display. Besides the leather variant, there is also a version with a glass back and an aluminum frame.

 

Display

The Honor Magic V has the biggest internal display: a 7.9-inch OLED panel that folds in half sporting a Quad HD+ resolution, one billion colors, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. The OPPO Find N provides a similar image quality but it offers the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and, as you probably noticed a higher max refresh rate. When it comes to the external display, the Honor Magic V is the winner: it has an OLED panel with a diagonal of 6.45 inches, one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a Full HD+ resolution, and HDR10+. Unfortunately, none of these handsets features an in-display fingerprint reader.

 

 

Specs & Software

The Honor Magic V is the most powerful foldable phone ever released because it is equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform: an octa-core processor built at 4 nm with a max frequency of 3 GHz. The SoC is paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. The Honor Magic V runs Android 12 customized by the new Magic UI 6 and, if the company will decide to launch it in the global market, it will feature Google Mobile Services. The OPPO Find N has a weaker but still flagship-class Snapdragon 888 mobile platform supported by up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, and it runs ColorOS 12 out of the box.

 

Camera

Which phone features the best cameras? It depends on what you usually do with the cameras, but overall, the OPPO Find N is more interesting. It has a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. Further, it has two 32 MP front cameras: one on the internal display and one on the external display. The Honor Magic V has three 50 MP sensors on the rear: the main camera, an ultrawide sensor (better than the ultrawide camera of the OPPO Find N), and a color spectrum sensor. Further, it has a pair of great 42 MP selfie cameras with 4K video recording.

 

 

Battery

The battery of the Honor Magic V is bigger with its capacity of 4750 mAh, but it will not always last more on a single charge. The Honor Magic V has a more efficient processor, but also bigger and less efficient displays. Honor Magic V supports faster 66W charging and reverse charging, but unlike the Find N, it lacks wireless charging.

 

Price

Honor Magic V starts from €1400/$1585, OPPO Find N from €1060/$1200. In my honest opinion, the OPPO Find N is a more interesting device due to its great cameras and its compact dimensions, as well as a few interesting software features. But the Magic V has better hardware and a wider display which may be better for productivity.
