Honor Magic V5 Aims for the Crown: Thinnest Foldable Ever Incoming
Honor is pulling no punches in the foldable race this year. With the Magic V5 just days away from launch, the brand is flexing hard and this time, it’s all about being ridiculously thin.
Like, 8.8mm thin.
Yep, Honor has officially confirmed that the Magic V5 will measure just 8.8mm when folded, making it the thinnest foldable phone we’ve seen yet. That’s not just a subtle improvement, it’s a serious flex over the 9.9mm Magic V2 and the already slimmer 9.2mm V3. Call it evolution, or just Honor shaving millimeters like they’re trying to sculpt a tech runway model.
And yes, Samsung’s Fold 7 has already been put on notice.
In a chat with Bloomberg (and a cheeky follow-up email to Android Central), Honor didn’t just whisper this detail, they shouted it. The brand claims the Magic V5 will “reclaim the crown” for the thinnest foldable on the market. Shots fired? Maybe. Accurate? Very likely.
Thin, but not fragile.
It’s not just about slimming down, though. Honor says the Magic V5 will pack “ultra-slim battery technology”, improved structural engineering, and sturdier materials. No word yet on the exact battery capacity, but the company is teasing a serious leap forward under the hood. So, it’s thin, strong, and (hopefully) doesn’t melt after a long ‘Reels’ binge.
AI’s coming in hot too.
During MWC Shanghai, Honor hyped up its Alpha AI Plan, and the Magic V5 is bringing those smarts to the party. Think PC-like capabilities with AI features baked in, likely a mix of real-time processing tricks, smarter task handling, and maybe even a shot at AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) somewhere down the line.
Honor’s AI strategy isn’t just buzzwords either. They’re going all in with a $10 billion investment to make their phones more “human-centric.” That’s not just marketing speak, it means your phone might actually understand you, not just reply to your voice commands like a robot intern.
Launch day? Mark your calendars for July 2 but only for China (for now).
While the Magic V5 is first launching in China, global eyes are already glued to it. With the bold claim of being the thinnest foldable on the planet, plus a fresh coat of AI ambition, Honor’s latest might just be the Android foldable to beat in 2025.
