JAKARTA - Honor is expected to launch its next-generation foldable phone, Honor Magic V5, in June. In an announcement made by Flagship Honor's Phone Product Manager, Li Kun, he revealed that this latest foldable phone will be the thinst and lightest in the industry.

Although the device's name has not been explicitly stated, it is clear that Magic V5 will launch in the first half of this year, most likely in June in China.

Honor Magic V5 is expected to be the only foldable phone that uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset from Honor this year, after the N5 Oppo Find. According to Li Kun, this phone will use a regular version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, in contrast to the 7-core version used by the N5 Oppo Find.

The phone is also reported to be equipped with a 6,000 mAh battery that supports 66W charging. However, despite not supporting satellite calls, Magic V5 will still support the delivery of Beidou satellite messages. This phone will come in two color options: Silk Road Dunhuang and Velvet Black.

Design and Performance

Li Kun also revealed that Magic V5 will be the thinest foldable phone on the market with a thickness starting from 8mm. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is estimated to have a thickness of 8.9mm when folded and 3.9mm when opened, but with a smaller battery compared to the Magic V5.

The Honor Magic V5 is likely to have a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as an 8-inch foldable screen with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. For the camera, this phone is expected to carry a 50-megapixel main camera with an OIS, an ultra-wide sensor, and a 200-megapixel telescope lens.

Other features that are expected to exist in Magic V5 include wireless charging support, satellite messaging, IPX8 water resistance, and side fingerprint scanners.

The Honor Magic V5 will be officially announced in June 2025, and will likely become a flagship device that strengthens Honor's position in the foldable phone market.
