The Honor Magic V5 is a book-style foldable that opens to a 7.95-inch screen from a body just 8.8mm thick when closed, among the thinnest of any folding phone. Weight and thickness vary slightly by colour, at 217g or 222g, which is lighter than many conventional flagships with half the screen.
The 7.95-inch foldable LTPO AMOLED runs at 120Hz with a 2172 x 2352 resolution, and the 6.43-inch cover screen is a fully usable 120Hz LTPO OLED, so the phone works as a normal handset when shut. GSMArena measured 1,296 nits of maximum brightness, with the 5,000-nit peak reserved for HDR.
The inner screen carries a Mohs level 4 hardness rating, softer than conventional flagship glass, so the usual foldable care applies.
The triple camera pairs a 50MP f/1.6 main sensor with OIS, a 64MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP autofocus ultrawide, with matching 20MP selfie cameras inside and on the cover.
Video tops out at 4K, and the periscope lacks the sensor size of Honor's own Magic8 Pro zoom, so this is a capable rather than class-leading camera for the money.
The 5,820mAh silicon-carbon battery on international units is exceptional capacity for a 4.1mm-unfolded chassis, with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. GSMArena's active use score of 12:20 hours beats the Magic V3's 10:05 comfortably.
Set against conventional flagships the endurance is still modest; the two screens drink the capacity, and Honor's own bar-phone flagships last far longer per charge.
Folded, the Magic V5 measures 156.8 x 74.3mm at 8.8mm or 9mm thick depending on colour, with an aluminium frame, stylus support and an IP58/IP59 rating, unusually strong sealing for a foldable and a clear step up from the Magic V3's water-only IPX8.
Immersion protection is rated to 1m rather than the 1.5m standard on conventional flagships, and the crease and hinge remain the long-term care points of the format.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite with up to 16GB of RAM keeps multitasking across the big screen fluid, and the phone carries a commitment to up to seven major Android upgrades with MagicOS 10 already delivered.
The chip is now a generation behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in Honor's Magic8 Pro, and 16GB of RAM requires the 512GB tier or above, with the 256GB model at 12GB.
Buy the Magic V5 if you want a tablet-class screen in a pocketable, genuinely thin body and will trade some battery endurance and camera reach to get it; it suits multitaskers, readers and travellers rather than photographers. Owners of the Magic V3 gain over two hours of tested endurance, better sealing and a newer chip from the upgrade.
