Honor’s Slim Magic V5 foldable is fun for use, missing the huge camera bump

There is a war of specifications that occur between companies to demand a thin, foldable crown. The phone manufacturers play with fractures of millimeters to boast of their phone thickness.


Honor earns this race on theoretical basis with thick folding (when folded). Theoretically, I say that there is a huge camera’s size on this.

The thin frame of the device looks and feels great as long as you hold in a way that is wrapped around the lower half of the phone. If your fingers are cleaned against the massive bump, you may feel uncomfortable to withstand the phone. This scaling took me a few days to adapt to.

When you put the phone on the table, it creates inclined (as in the image above). This is a good thing when the phone is folded, but when the phone is revealed, it creates a lobby, and it is not fun.

In the open case, the frame is only 4.1 mm, less millimeter than the N5, but more than 0.5 mm Huawei Triple Flying Phone.

Regardless, the phone is a solid piece of devices.

It is supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8, a first -class processor. The front screen is a 6.43 -inch screen with a resolution of 2376 x 1060, and the home screen (unpopular) is a 7.95 -inch screen with 2172 x 2352 pixels. The company said it uses a carbon fiber -strengthened internal plate to improve the protection of fall. In addition, the Honor dish is an anti -deer substance on the screen. To date, I haven’t seen prominent scratches on any of the screens.

The screen is very bright with the peak of the brightness of 5000 networks. I enjoyed reading articles, pdfs, and long email messages on the detected screen. Run NYT puzzles on the screen that was detected was one of the favorite things to do on the device.

Both offers LTPO display, which means that the update rate can turn dynamically into any value of 1Hz into 120 Hz, and this makes navigation and pass a breeze. Most applications were well set on both the cap and the home screen. Although I noticed that the accuracy exploded when I was trying to play “Diablo Immortal” on the screen that was detected, so I had to stick to the front screen while playing the game.

Building the device is strong, and contains IP58 and IP59 classifications for dust and water resistance. I felt foldable hinges, using Super Steel Super Gen, felt solid while using a week for V5 magic.

The foldable has a massive silicone carbon battery 5,820 mAh. Thanks to it, you can get every day using a little games easily. The device supports 66W wire charging and wireless charging 50W, but you need to buy special charger for Honor to support this. Honor no 66W charger packages inside the box. The company claims that you can charge the device from 0 to 50 % in only 16 minutes with wire charger and reach 100 % in 43 minutes. Even if the phone does not hit these theoretical limits, you can get enough juice on the phone to write you a few hours.

Camera and AI

Honor Magic V5 Cover hosts three sensors. A 50 -megapixel main camera with F/1.6 slot, 64 -megapixel phone camera, 64 -megapixel phone camera with 3x optical augmentation. The phone also has a pair of 20 -megapixel selfies for both internal and external screens.

Phone However, I felt that in some circumstances, the algorithm strengthened the red phone. The Magic V5 camera has a very good micro mode that allows you to take close -up pictures of certain organisms, such as flowers, while keeping detail.

Since all companies can access artificial intelligence models, Number they The high zoom mode is presented to take the basic photo and use of obstetric artificial intelligence to fill the details. Honor’s 100x Zoom Tech is good enough to capture the text from a distance and clarify artificial intelligence. However, when I tried to capture different objects, the version seemed to treat artificial intelligence to a large extent. This was not the case when I tried to enlarge pixels 10 Pro’s 100x.

Just like most Chinese Chinese phones, this device also contains many “beauty” features that allow you to soften your skin, adjust the size of the nose and the size of the face, buy the image, and more. But you can stop it quickly by switching if you want.

There is a set of artificial intelligence editing tools that Honor included with the phone. There is an Amnesty International eraser that allows you to draw objects to remove. The tool also contains options, including removal of Passerbys and removal of reflection. The first option does not always work well. Check this image that I took when I attended Wimbledon. While some people removed the background, the trunk of one tennis players removed.

The phone has an Amnesty International cutting tool, which allows you to determine an object from a picture and transfer it within the frame. When moving the object, the obstetric intelligence system uses to fill the gap.

This is also not perfect, and sometimes, it leaves artifacts like shades around the original position of the object, which clearly indicates that you have conveyed something in this picture. There are other tools such as artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence agency as well.

What’s more, there is a photo function of an artistic image in the phone application, which allows three generations per 30 days. You make the video using the Google Veo2 model, but the output is not great, and it often feels strange compared to the original image.

Software and availability

Honor Its Magicos 9, based on Android 15, is used with this device. It was not formed, but I believed that the prior honor applications of smart home appliances, and the Myhonor application, which is a societal application, was unnecessary. There is the Honor Health app, which connects Honor’s smart devices (if you have any), and also has some pre -loaded exercise content.

Magicos takes the exchange of media with both Android and Apple devices. The company has a work station application on MacOS, which makes it easy to send photos, videos and documents to your Mac.

The company also released a new new call translation feature, which allows you to download a translation model and data processing locally. Currently, it supports six languages, including tray, English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. I tested this feature with a friend speaking French, and the results were very good. Contrary to the Pixel translation feature, which also maintains your voice, you can choose between a male and female sound.

The company will issue Honor Magic V5 in Europe, APAC and the Middle East. In the United Kingdom/Europe, V5 magic will have a starting price of 1,699.99 pounds/1,999 euros for a 512 GB version. This gives consumers an option for a foldable experience at a cheaper price of 200 pounds/1999 euros than Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7. Although this may not challenge the best place in Samsung on the foldable market, it may help Honorary growth numbers in folds.
