Marking its third consecutive year, HONOR maintains the retail price at RM6,999, while delivering significant hardware and software advancements.

From July 15 to August 31, 2025, customers can trade in their old smartphones, tablets, or laptops at HONOR Experience Stores and participating retailers (Maxis, Senheng, Grand Senheng, SenQ, Urban Republic, and Harvey Norman) to receive an additional RM400 rebate on their Magic V5 purchase.

0% Interest Installment Plan
HONOR is also offering a 0% interest installment plan over 24 months, making the Magic V5 accessible for a monthly commitment of only RM292. This offer is available at HONOR Experience Stores.
Uncompromised Design and Performance
The HONOR Magic V5 sets a new industry standard with its incredibly slim 4.1mm unfolded profile, comparable to a 50-cent coin, and a weight of just 217g. Despite its slender design, it offers superior upgrades in battery life, camera performance, and durability, all powered by HONOR’s AI-driven manufacturing system.
Enhanced Battery and Power Efficiency
The Magic V5 features a powerful 5820mAh HONOR Silicon-Carbon Battery, the thinnest high-capacity cell in its class. Coupled with the HONOR E2 Power Enhanced Chip, it ensures extended battery life, superior safety, and optimized thermal performance.
Advanced Camera System and AI Imaging
The device boasts a professional-grade camera setup, including a 64MP Periscope Telephoto Camera with 100x zoom (the best telephoto in a foldable), a 50MP Main Camera, a 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera, and a 20MP Selfie Camera.
For enhanced photography, the Magic V5 integrates AI imaging tools like AI Super Zoom, AI Enhanced Portrait, and AI Motion Sensing Capture. It also offers in-gallery AI editing features such as AI Outpainting, AI Eraser, AI Cutout, AI Upscale, and Live Photo.
Superior Durability
The Magic V5 is engineered for durability with an Aerospace Special Fiber body casing and an upgraded Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield on the outer screen. The inner screen features triple protection, including Non-Newtonian Fluid technology for enhanced drop resistance and AI-powered Foreign Object Detection for particles as small as 0.8mm.
The reinforced hinge can withstand up to 500,000 folding cycles (equivalent to 13 years of use at 100 folds per day). With IP58 and IP59 ratings, the Magic V5 offers robust water and dust resistance.
Powerful Processor and Eye Protection
Under the hood, the HONOR Magic V5 is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor for exceptional performance and AI enhancements. Both displays feature 4,320Hz PWM Dimming to reduce eye strain and a peak brightness of 5,000 nits for clear visibility in bright sunlight.
Multi-Tasking AI
The Magic V5’s spacious 7.95-inch inner screen and new Three Split Screen feature transform it into a dynamic multitasking hub. Users can effortlessly manage multiple applications simultaneously for various daily tasks, from work and travel planning to shopping. For example, during meetings, users can record with AI Notes, generate AI Summaries, and communicate with team members, all on separate screens. The Gemini Live Screen Sharing feature allows real-time comparison of hotel prices or identification of ingredients.
Seamless Cross-iOS Connectivity
The upgraded HONOR Share feature simplifies file and image sharing between iOS, macOS, and the Magic V5. Apple users can download the HONOR Connect app to easily transfer data. Additionally, iCloud Cloning allows iPhone users to seamlessly transfer their messages, notes, photos, contacts, and calendar to the Magic V5.
