Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Honor’s foldable phone has an external screen and the larger inner screen. The outer screen uses a 6.45-inch curved OLED panel with a 2560x1080 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The internal display measures 7.9 inches diagonally and has a 2272x1984 resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz. Both panels cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color spectrum and have a 10-bit color depth (1.07 billion colors). The Honor Magic V will be powered by the recently announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset, packing the new Adreno GPU that promises to deliver a 30 percent performance uplift over its predecessor. There’s 12GB of RAM and 256/512GB of storage to complement the SoC, which should be enough even for power users.
The phone’s rear photo array setup consists of a 50MP primary, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP “spectrum enhanced” camera. In addition, there’s a 42MP front selfie cam on both internal and external screens. Thanks to the dual-circuit battery design and the 4,750mAh battery, Honor’s foldable phone can last for a whole day of usage. Honor’s 66W SuperCharge technology allows the device to charge up to 50 percent of the battery in just 15 minutes. For a full charge, it takes about 40/50 minutes.
Based on Android 12, Honor Magic UI 6.0 will debut with Magic V, providing users with a new skin and features like AI Engine and Magic Live, Honor’s personal assistant. Moreover, there’s also support for Multi-Windows, allowing users to split the screen into multiple windows to use various apps simultaneously. The Honor Magic V will be available in black, silver, and orange in China starting January 8th for ¥9,999/$1,568 (256GB) and ¥10,999/$1,725 (512GB).
