Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinly thin foldable, but that’s not important

Honor’s magic V5 is the most thin book -style foldable in the world, but you may not be able to tell.

It is only 0.1 mm thin-which is an inch of four thousandth-the N5 or Samsung’s recent Galaxy Z Fold 7 compared to OPO. I have kept the search N5 along with the V5 and I can barely feel the difference, let it see it.

Fortunately, Magic V5 has an additional trick with one of the sleeves: one of these phones is better than one of the last concerns about converting people into folding phones, and to a great extent when compared to Samsung.

The Magic V5 in China was announced in China earlier last month, but was also released in Europe today, where it costs £ 1,699.99 / € 1,999 (about $ 2,300). Already he gets a leg on Oppo Find N5, which is not available outside Asia. Don’t expect it to be officially in the United States.

I said when I reviewed this Oppo Phone in February that it would indicate the start of a decrease return for thin foldables, this is a point where things can’t be easily thin, and we are here. Returns, they are reduced.

It may be the world’s thin foldable, but it is such a partial amount that it doesn’t matter. It measures 4.1 mm thick or 8.8 mm on Samsung and OPPO phones compared to 4.2 mm and 8.9 mm. Even it does not apply to every version of the Honor phone – while my white model is the thinner, the various substances used on black, gold and brown models make them the same size as these two rivals.

The record is another major warning of thin: you have to ignore the camera collision. Now, when talking about the dimensions of the phone, it is equal to this course, but it is especially noteworthy here: Magic V5’s chinky, circular camera bumping is more thick than Samsung or Oppo, brings the closed phone 16 mm or more if you measure at a thick point, compared to 14 mm and 13 mm than Samsung. Once again: Low return

Otherwise, the phone looks great and great. It is about the size and shape like Z Fold 7, and when it is closed, it really feels significantly like a normal phone. Like this phone, you should forget that it is a foldable until it is time to open it. My white model has a simple, smooth structure, and heart -wrenching round corners that keep it comfortable to keep it in any mood.

However, it makes its size the most impressive, though, the inside battery. The Chinese version has a total capacity of 5,820mah in the international model with 6,100mAh. Thanks to the adoption of this Honor silicon carbon batteries, a high-speed improvement technology that converts some graphite into traditional lithium-ion batteries with a more energy-dense silicon-in this case, about 15 % graphite.

The result is more battery capacity in the smaller space, and the battery life here is really impressive. I did not Really Trying to run the V5 in the ground, but through normal use, with a mixture of both the internal and exterior screens and many images, I noticed that I already had 47 % of my battery bed. Now I have been running the phone for 32 hours or more, and I still have 39 % left. It also charges rapidly, up to 66W wired charging and 50W wireless, though only one proprietary charger. There is no Q2 support, but it will receive (very slowly) on standard Qi wireless chargers.

The negative aspect of the silicon carbon is that batteries are likely to decrease rapidly. This can be a lesser problem in foldables, which, in seven generations, still feels like a domain of early adoptions and frequent upgraders. But that means that during a week of review, my battery life cannot reflect that it will be like three or four years. اعزاز نے فون کے لئے سات سال کے سافٹ ویئر سپورٹ کا وعدہ کیا ہے (دونوں او ایس اپ ڈیٹس اور سیکیورٹی پیچ) ، لیکن کیا بیٹری اس لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی ترین سافٹ ویئر سپورٹ وعدہ کیا ہے۔

Again, again, it’s a foldable, so if all Televocate This will continue for a long time. The honor is V5’s carbon fiber -powered display and “superstal occupation”, but foldables are naturally fragile. As far as dust and water are concerned, the IP58 / 59 rating here is technically better than the IP68 of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold on the resistance of the water, but is slightly less secure against sand and dust, which gives Google’s phones a overall edge. However, the V5 Z Fold 7 defeats the IP48 rating on both counts.

In a boring manner, the rest of the phone is just good that most of these days are flagers. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip set is as powerful as they come, and with 16GB of RAM and 1 TB storage, you will not be struggling with performance. Both the internal and exterior display are bright, attractive LTPO OLEDs, with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, which looks good as anyone else.

The cameras are good for a foldable, so that they are not very disappointed on the regular phone, and I am particularly impressed by the consistency in color and the three are in the range in the back lenses. The 50 -megapixel main camera is excellent in the light of good day, and is deepened when it is deep. Ultra is wide OkayWhile 3X telephoto is variable: Get things properly and the results are beautiful, but it struggles more than other lenses that have a moving articles or difficult light. You can go up to 100x zoom, but you should not – the results are good up to 6x, and get worse.

Honor has also done well with the software foldable side. The Android 15 -based Magicos 9 contains two types of multi -tasking: You can run three apps at a time at a time, or one app is open in a full screen and floating Windows one or two more. Otherwise it is quite clean, easy to use OS. It is full of proprietary apps, which is common for honor phones, though most can be installed. The six languages ​​run by the Openi whiskey model have some customs AI features, including direct translation, with Gemini integration to handle the rest.

If you live in Europe, or wherever the magic V5 is an option, it is clearly forced. It is thin like Samsung’s latest with similar software performance and software support, but is much larger battery. The only area of ​​Samsung is a serious benefit that has a customer support, which has a widespread repair network that cannot be resembled. Pixel 10 Pro Fold IP68 and QI2 offer charging, but in a bulkier, heavy -shaped element that seems to be a bit old, and it is not yet out.

So, it doesn’t really matter that it is the world’s thin foldable (if you don’t count the camera collision). The important thing is that this is really good .This is good, and there is a great reason to look beyond the big two players.
