Global technology brand HONOR today announced the arrival of its latest foldable flagship, the HONOR Magic V5, in Malaysia. Priced at RM6,999, the Magic V5 maintains the same retail price as its predecessor for the third year in a row, while introducing significant advancements in design, performance, and AI capabilities. At just 8.8mm thick when folded and 4.1mm unfolded, the HONOR Magic V5 is officially the world’s slimmest foldable phone, combining sleek aesthetics with powerful functionality.
The HONOR Magic V5 is now available for pre-order until 24 July 2025. Customers who pre-order will receive a free Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 9 speaker worth RM1,299, as well as additional benefits including a one-year crack protection plan and a two-year quality assurance plan. The total value of the pre-order gift bundle amounts to RM3,497.
To make the Magic V5 even more accessible, HONOR is offering a trade-in program that provides an additional RM400 rebate when customers trade in their old smartphones, tablets, or laptops. This offer is available at HONOR Experience Stores and selected outlets such as Maxis, Senheng, senQ, Urban Republic, and Harvey Norman. A 24-month 0% interest installment plan is also available, bringing the monthly payment down to just RM292.
Despite its ultra-thin frame, the Magic V5 is packed with flagship-level features. It houses a 5820mAh HONOR Silicon-Carbon Battery, currently the thinnest high-capacity battery in its class, ensuring long-lasting performance throughout the day. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the Magic V5 delivers exceptional speed, efficiency, and AI enhancements.
Camera performance is another major highlight, featuring a 64MP Periscope Telephoto Camera with 100x zoom, making it the most powerful telephoto setup in any foldable smartphone to date. It also includes a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera, and a 20MP front-facing camera. Advanced AI imaging tools such as AI Super Zoom, AI Enhanced Portrait, and AI Motion Sensing Capture help users take stunning photos and videos effortlessly. Editing tools like AI Outpainting, AI Eraser, AI Cutout, AI Upscale, and Live Photo make content creation simple and intuitive, directly within the gallery.
The device is built to withstand everyday use, featuring improved drop and scratch resistance. The outer display is protected by Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield, while the inner screen incorporates a triple-layer protection system that includes Non-Newtonian Fluid technology. The hinge mechanism is tested for durability over 500,000 folds, equivalent to more than 13 years of use. With IP58 and IP59 water and dust resistance ratings, the Magic V5 is ready for challenging environments.
For eye comfort, both displays feature 4320Hz PWM dimming, which significantly reduces eye strain during extended use. The screens also support peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even in bright outdoor conditions.
The 7.95-inch inner display offers a tablet-like experience, ideal for multitasking and productivity. The new Three Split Screen feature allows users to manage multiple apps simultaneously. Whether it’s attending a virtual meeting, managing emails, or planning a trip, the Magic V5 supports seamless task switching. Gemini Live integration adds smart capabilities like real-time screen sharing, live translation, and content suggestions, making daily tasks more efficient.
iPhone users will appreciate the enhanced compatibility features. The HONOR Connect app, available on the App Store, enables quick file sharing between iOS, macOS, and the HONOR Magic V5. Meanwhile, iCloud Cloning makes it easy to transfer messages, photos, contacts, and other data from an iPhone to the Magic V5 with just a few taps.
The HONOR Magic V5 is available in four elegant colors: Dawn Gold, Ivory White, Silk Brown, and Black. It comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, offering ample space and speed for any task.
