Editor Rating
4.2/5

Honor Magic V is the first foldable flagship device from the brand, which features a slim and sleek body that is made from special alloys to keep it all light and rigid at the same time. Even the main display is a mix of flexibility and toughness, which makes it great for everyday usage and multimedia consumption. The cover display is even more vibrant and bright, as it can go up to 120Hz at 1200nits brightness, while the main display maxes out at 90Hz and 800nits. Both displays are still great in both the touch experience and the viewing experience. You even get a triple camera array in the rear and a single unit inside.
