Honor Unveils Magic V – First 5G Foldable Smartphone

Global technology brand Honor has unveiled the much anticipated Magic V, its latest and first 5G foldable smartphone. 

Honour said the new foldable hosts a suite of incredibly powerful, outstanding features and cutting-edge technologies combined with an aesthetic symmetrical slim design. 

“Honour Magic V body features orderly curves around the edges, creating a sense of fluidity which achieves a slimmer outlook as well as a smooth and rounded grip to guarantee easier and more comfort grasp.” 

The Magic V features a 6.45-inch 44° curved OLED display when folded, achieving a wider 21.3:9 aspect ratio and unfolds to an extra-wide 7.9-inch creaseless display when opened. 

The  device measures 14.3mm in thickness when folded and 6.7mm when unfolded, weighing just 288g making it the thinnest in fold smartphone compared to other foldable phones. 

Since the hinge is a critical feature for any foldable phone, Honour said it has developed the Floating Waterdrop Hinge technology, integrating a “perfect hinge” and foldable design to offer a symmetrical, thin, and seamless form factor which allows the phone to be closed seamlessly.

Honor said the Magic V body incorporates premium aerospace-grade materials to ensure greater precision, more strength and durability while also providing a lighter weight for the hinge mechanism, including zirconium-based liquid metal, which is three times tougher than stainless steel. 

The Honor Magic V features the same Tri-ring camera design that appears across its other premium smartphone lines which Honor said is a design language that evokes a sense of symmetry and harmony.

The Honor Magic V is available in Space Silver, Bright Orange and Gloss Black.
