Honor has announced that the global launch of its foldable smartphone, the Magic V5, is scheduled for August 6, 2025, in Hong Kong. This follows its initial release in mainland China on July 2.
The Magic V5, known as the thinnest foldable device on the market in at least one color variant, will soon be available across Europe and Asia. The device is already promoted on Honor’s official websites in Malaysia, the UK, and Germany. The global website reveals four color options: Dawn Gold, Reddish Brown, Ivory White, and Black.
The Magic V5 will feature a global version equipped with eSIM support. Battery capacity details remain uncertain for international markets; in China, the largest 6,100 mAh battery is limited to the 1 TB storage model, and regulatory restrictions may affect battery sizes elsewhere.
The release timing is crucial, as Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 on July 9, a major competitor in the foldable segment. The Magic V5 aims to compete closely, with minimal differences in thickness compared to its South Korean rival.
