Editorial report

Honor Magic V 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Honor Magic V suits buyers looking for a foldable with a large display and strong hardware who can accept a heavy, thick body. Its unfolded OLED display measures 7.9 inches, while the other display measures 6.45 inches. This version pairs 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage; the phone is also sold with 512 GB. The foldable design provides two display sizes, and the larger screen has a 1984 × 2272 px resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate.

Its hardware is among the best of its time, with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and 12 GB RAM. The camera is also among the best, with optical stabilization and a 50 MP ultrawide camera. The f/1.9 aperture, however, is dimmer than that of most phones of its time. 66 W charging is better than what most offered, and its connectivity is also better than that of most contemporaries. The physical drawbacks are clear: at 293 g and 14.3 mm thick, it is among the heaviest and thickest phones of its time.

The software is Android 12, and the phone has no Google Services or direct operating-system updates. Its overall NeoScore is 7.0. This is a fit for buyers who prioritize a foldable with a large display, standout camera and powerful hardware, and are comfortable with its weight, thickness and lack of Google Services.
