Honor recently launched the Magic V5 in the Philippines, its latest foldable flagship now available through Globe’s GPlan PLUS 1799.
Touted as the world’s thinnest inward-folding phone, the Magic V5 brings serious upgrades in design, durability, battery tech, and AI features.
We’ve rounded up the things we’re loving so far—but take note, these are initial impressions, not a full review.
1. It’s seriously slim—for a foldable
Foldables usually come with some bulk, but not the Honor Magic V5. At just 8.8mm thin and 217g light, it’s the slimmest and lightest inward-folding phone you can get. You still get a 7.95-inch inner screen for multitasking and a 6.43-inch outer screen for quick access on the go.
2. It’s built to last
Durability is a common concern with foldables, but the Magic V5 is built tough. It features a carbon fiber-reinforced inner display, scratch-resistant NanoCrystal Shield on the outer screen, and IP58/IP59 ratings for dust and water protection. The super steel hinge is designed for strength and smooth folding.
3. The battery is next-level
The 1TB version includes a 6,100mAh silicon-carbon battery, a first in any foldable phone. It has 25% silicon content and industry-leading energy density. It charges fast, too, with 66W wired and 50W wireless SuperCharge.
4. Cameras that deliver
The V5 is equipped with a 64MP periscope telephoto lens, plus 50MP wide and ultra-wide cameras. Whether you’re zooming in or capturing landscapes, image quality looks promising, backed by the AI-powered Falcon Camera System.
5. Smart AI features you’ll actually use
With MagicOS 9.0.1 and the YOYO AI assistant, the phone can help you create presentations, code, book rides, share files, and more—using just voice commands. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 3nm chip, with full 5G support.
6. A strong postpaid offer from Globe
Get the Magic V5 through Globe’s GPlan PLUS 1799, with P2,813 monthly cashout over 24 months. It includes a free Honor Pad X8a worth P7,999. No plan lock-up, and payment is flexible (installments or charge-to-bill).
Bonus: You can swap unused data
With the GlobeOne app, you can convert extra data into calls, texts, or other perks—anytime.
