HONOR Magic V5 to Launch in Malaysia on 15 July – The Slimmest Foldable Phone Yet Without Compromise. HONOR has officially announced the arrival of its most innovative foldable smartphone yet — the HONOR Magic V5 — set to launch in Malaysia on 15 July 2025. Already creating waves online following its initial reveal, the HONOR Magic V5 is poised to redefine the foldable phone landscape with its groundbreaking design and powerful capabilities. Touted as the world’s slimmest foldable at just 8.8mm, the Magic V5 goes beyond aesthetics by offering top-tier performance, durability, and imaging — all without compromise.
Engineered for portability, the Magic V5’s ultra-slim body is as thin as a 50 cent coin or three stacked bank cards, making it exceptionally pocket-friendly and comfortable to carry. Unlike traditional foldables that often feel bulky or awkward, the Magic V5 feels light and seamless in hand or in compact bags, perfect for those on the move.
Despite its slim form factor, the HONOR Magic V5 houses a massive 5820mAh HONOR Silicon-Carbon Battery — a cutting-edge power source slim enough to rival the thickness of a business card. This advanced battery supports full-day usage, even under intensive conditions like video streaming and gaming. It also features 66W Wired HONOR SuperCharge and 50W Wireless Charging, allowing users to quickly power up their device. Paired with the Power Enhanced HONOR E2 Chip, the phone intelligently optimizes energy use for even longer battery life.
Photography enthusiasts will be impressed with the Magic V5’s powerful camera system. It features a 64MP Periscope Telephoto Camera capable of up to 100X digital zoom — currently the best in any foldable device. Enhanced by AI Super Zoom and AI Enhanced Portrait features, users can take vivid, detailed shots from afar or capture professional-level portraits effortlessly. Additional AI editing tools such as AI Cutout, AI Eraser, AI Outpainting, and AI Upscale provide users with intuitive post-editing options for stunning photo enhancements on the go.
Durability is another hallmark of the Magic V5. It boasts the strongest inner screen in its class, reinforced with Non-Newtonian Fluid technology to withstand drops and daily wear. It also features AI-powered Foreign Object Detection, which alerts users when small particles, like grains of sand, are detected inside the screen. The outer display is protected by HONOR’s Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield, while its carbon fiber back—crafted from Aerospace Special Fiber—offers up to 40 times impact resistance. The device’s Super Steel Hinge has been tested to support up to 35kg of weight and is rated for 500,000 folds — equivalent to 13 years of use at 100 folds per day.
The HONOR Magic V5 is also built to survive the elements, featuring IP58 and IP59 ratings for dust and water resistance. These protections help prevent common issues such as screen discoloration and internal damage, making it a reliable companion for everyday and rugged use alike.
Set to be a game-changer in the foldable phone market, the HONOR Magic V5 will be officially unveiled in Malaysia on 15 July at 2PM via a livestream on HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page. Viewers can look forward to the full reveal, including specifications, pricing, and special launch promotions. To stay updated, visit www.honor.com/my or follow HONOR Malaysia’s social media pages.
