The HONOR Magic V5 is Malaysia-bound, the company confirms – this successor of Magic V3 will once again claim the title of thinnest foldable smartphone on the market, shaving another 0.4mm off its folded thickness to just 8.8mm when folded. (Perhaps unsurprisingly, HONOR skipped number 4 for the new foldable’s name, since it’s an unlucky number in the Chinese culture.)
HONOR Magic V5 Coming Soon
Shaving thickness has been the most prominent development race among the foldable smartphone makers. From the original foldable that is the Samsung Galaxy Fold, it was a rather unwieldy device that is almost double the thickness of the regular smartphones at the time; but now the gap has been pretty much closed with the Magic V5 hitting the sub-9mm mark. For reference, the thickness figure in most slab smartphones today hovers around 8mm, give or take.
While other specs are yet to be announced, leaks have provided some numbers. For starters, the inner display spans 8 inches, while the cover display measures 6.45 inches; powering the device will be Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version (this one is announced officially by HONOR China), and it’ll house a combined 6,100mAh battery with 66W fast charging. The brand’s Chinese official channels has already published some of the images of the device, which comes in gold hues and a textured spine.
Alongside the announcement, HONOR has also announced its Beta Experiencer Program for the upcoming smartphone. Interested individuals in Malaysia can sign up through the HONOR Malaysia website to test and provide feedback on the device ahead of its official release; selected participants will be contacted by HONOR staff for further engagement.
