Honor Magic V5—the world’s thinnest foldable phone—is here in Nepal

September 22, 2025

Honor launched the Magic V5 in China a couple of months ago, claiming it as the world’s thinnest foldable phone. And it’s now officially available in Nepal as well, with some interesting freebies. So in this article, we will discuss everything about the latest Honor Magic V5, including its official price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Honor Magic V5 Overview

Design and Display

The Honor Magic V5 boasts a 7.95-inch foldable OLED inner display with a resolution of 2352 × 2172 pixels, alongside a 6.43-inch OLED outer screen with 2376 × 1060 resolution. Both screens feature smooth 120Hz refresh rates and support a wide color gamut of 1.07 billion DCI-P3 colors. The inner display is protected by Glory King Kong flexible armor, while the outer screen uses durable Giant Rhino Glass.

Both panels offer HDR Vivid, Dolby Vision, and ZREAL technologies, reaching peak brightness levels up to 5,000 nits. For eye comfort, they incorporate 4320Hz PWM dimming, motion smoothing, natural light adaptation, and low-power LTPO eye protection. The device’s “Eagle Eye Imaging System” supports AI-powered super zoom up to 100×, enhanced with optical image stabilization (OIS) and laser autofocus.

The Magic V5 folds down to just 8.8mm in thickness for the Ivory White model, while other color versions are slightly thicker at 9mm. For comparison, the OPPO Find N5 measures 8.93mm folded. When unfolded, the Honor Magic V5 is 4.1mm thick, marginally slimmer than OPPO’s 4.2mm.

However, the Huawei Mate XT (a trifold phone) is thinner at 3.6mm but lacks a USB-C port. The Magic V5 weighs between 217 and 222 grams, which makes it slightly heavier than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 at 215 grams.

Camera

The Honor Magic V5 features a powerful triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 50MP wide-angle lens with an f/1.6 aperture, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a 122° field of view (f/2.0), and a 64MP periscope telephoto lens (f/2.5) that offers 3x optical zoom.

The telephoto camera is equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS), laser autofocus, a color temperature sensor, and supports digital zoom up to 100×. For selfies and video calls, the device includes 20MP front-facing cameras (f/2.2) on both the inner and outer displays.

Performance

The Magic V5 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and supports up to 16GB of RAM. It houses a 5,820mAh battery with wireless charging support.

Durability and Software

Honor rates the phone with IP58 and IP59 dust and water resistance, close to the durability standards of non-foldable phones. It runs on MagicOS 9.0.1, based on Android 15, and Honor has even committed to 7 years of OS + security updates for this phone.
