Honor Unveils Magic V5 Thin Foldable Smartphone

Honor has launched the Magic V5, claiming it as the world's thinnest and lightest foldable smartphone at 8.8mm thick and weighing 217 grams for the white variant. The device features advanced AI capabilities via the Yoyo agent, battery options exceeding 6000mAh, and offers up to 1TB of storage, distinguishing it from competitors. Its raised camera module slightly detracts from its thinness claim, but the Magic V5 still sets a new benchmark in foldable phone design. The launch comes just ahead of Samsung's expected foldable release, intensifying competition in the market. Honor, which currently trails behind Huawei and Samsung in market share, plans a global rollout soon following the China-first launch. Analysts see the Magic V5 as a strong contender poised to challenge leading brands as the foldable market grows.
