Get the Scoop on Honor's Thinnest Foldable Yet!
Single-minded determination propels Honor's V5 towards the slimmest foldable smartphone title.
Here's the lowdown on Honor's upcoming Magic V5:
- The Skinny on Size: According to Honor, the Magic V5 will measure an impressive 8.8mm thin when folded. This beats out its previous models, the V2 (9.9mm) and V3 (9.2mm), adding to Honor's confidence that the Magic V5 will outshine the "thinner" Fold 7 from Samsung.
- Slimline Power: Although Honor didn't provide the exact battery capacity for the Magic V5, it's been rumored that it packs a whopping 6,100 mAh battery [1][2][3][4][5]. This impressive battery capacity is made possible by Honor's innovative "ultra-slim battery technology."
- AI and More AI: Honor also hinted at AI-powered processing features for the Magic V5, as suggested during MWC 2025. It's likely these features are tied to Honor's Alpha AI Plan, an ambitious three-step strategy aimed at creating intelligent phones, an AI ecosystem, and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) [6]. This new AI focus has prompted Honor to invest a substantial ~$10 billion in its AI strategy.
- Launching Soon: Honor announced during MWC Shanghai that the Magic V5 will launch on July 2, exclusively in China. The company is positioning the Magic V5 as a "compelling alternative" for consumers, offering PC-like capabilities and a suite of AI software [7]. Stay tuned for more details!
