What is the Honor Magic V5
To recap, the Honor Magic V5 weighs just 217g and has a 6.43-inch LTPO OLED with 2,376 x 1060 pixels resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 5,000 nits peak brightness and 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut while retaining stylus support and protected by their Honor Anti-scratch Nanocrystal Shield laminate that protects it from nicks and scratches.

Honor has also enhanced the main display with what they refer to as an Honor Super Armoured Inner Screen that uses a non-Newtonian fluid layer that hardens on direct impacts that enhances resistance to impacts.
The main display also supports Honor’s stylus too. Powering the phone is the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.
The rear hosts a triple camera array with a 50MP f/1.6 main camera with OIS, a 64MP f/2.5 telephoto camera with OIS and 3x optical zoom and a 50MP f/2.0 ultra wide angle camera that offers up to 100x zoom and 4K @60fps video.

An interesting fact to note is that only the Ivory White variant is 4.1mm thin unfolded and 8.8mm folded down with the other colourways being 4.2mm thin unfolded and 9mm when folded down on account of the paintjobs. You can also check out our Honor Magic V5 first look here.
