Honor has launched a new foldable smartphone called the Magic V5. This phone is now available in the UK and some European countries, after being released in China last month. The Magic V5 is one of the thinnest and lightest foldable phones in the world. It has high-end features aimed at people who want a powerful and stylish device.
The phone has two screens. When opened, it shows a large 7.95-inch screen with very clear 2K quality. On the outside, there is a smaller 6.45-inch screen with bright and colorful display quality. Both screens can refresh 120 times per second, which means they show smooth and fast-moving images. They are also very bright, so you can see them well even in sunlight.
Inside, the Magic V5 has a strong Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which helps the phone run fast and handle games or many apps easily. It comes with 16GB of RAM, which helps with multitasking, and 512GB of storage to save your photos, videos, and apps.
The phone comes with three cameras on its rear. There is a 50-megapixel main camera for clear pictures, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera for wide shots, and a 64-megapixel telephoto camera that can zoom in three times without losing quality. For selfies, there are two 20-megapixel cameras, one on the inside screen and one on the outside.
The Honor Magic V5 is also made to be strong and safe. It has dust and water resistance with IP58 and IP59 ratings, which means it can handle some water and dust without getting damaged. It packs a large 5,820mAh battery that can be quickly charged using 66W wired or 50W wireless charging.
When folded, the phone measures just 8.8mm in thickness, and when unfolded, it’s 4.1mm thin. Weighing around 217 grams, it’s light and portable. It runs MagicOS 9.0.1, built on the newest Android 15.
The phone supports many types of connections such as 5G for fast internet, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC for contactless payments, and GPS systems. It has many sensors including a fingerprint sensor for security and others that help with the phone’s features.
The Magic V5 is available in three colors: Black, Dawn Gold, and Ivory White. In the UK, it costs GBP 1,699, which is about Rs. 2,01,000. In China, it was first sold starting at CNY 8,999 (around Rs. 1,07,500) for a slightly different model with less memory and storage.
With this phone, Honor shows it wants to be a strong player in the foldable smartphone market. The Magic V5 gives users a powerful, stylish, and durable phone with great screens and cameras. It is a good choice for those looking for a premium foldable phone.
