(Riyadh, KSA, 14.09.2025) The industry trend towards thinner smartphones and the rise of foldable devices has driven a demand for innovative engineering and robust durability. HONOR has consistently led the charge in this evolution, exemplified by HONOR’s latest foldable smartphone, the HONOR Magic V5.

The HONOR Magic V5 represents a new benchmark in foldable design, masterfully balancing exceptional durability with an exquisite 8.8mm[1] ultra-slim profile and a remarkably lightweight 217g[2] form factor for the Ivory White version.

HONOR Super Steel Hinge: Engineered for Unmatched Resistance

HONOR Magic V5 leverages cutting-edge materials and advanced engineering to achieve exceptional durability. The upgraded HONOR Super Steel Hinge cap boasts an impressive tensile strength of 2300MPa compared with its last generation.

This high-strength alloy not only strengthens the hinge mechanism for greater resilience and reliability in daily use, but also helps maintain a remarkably slim profile. Thanks to its strength, the HONOR Super Steel Hinge can withstand 500,000 folds[3], and lift 100 kg[4], with improved drop resistance by 15% compared to HONOR Magic V3[5].

In a remarkable demonstration of engineering prowess, the HONOR Magic V5 has officially entered the Guinness World Records by achieving the heaviest weight lifted by a suspended foldable smartphone. The device successfully lifted an impressive 104 kilograms, showcasing unmatched durability in the foldable smartphone category.

The Carbon Fiber Reinforced Inner Display Panel

The HONOR Magic V5 features the advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Inner Display Panel, and coated with an aluminum anti-scratch film and reinforced with a carbon fiber support layer, providing exceptional protection.

HONOR Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield

On the outer screen, the new HONOR Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield provides 3 layers of protection, offering better wear resistance, better drop protection, and improved anti-scratch performance compared to other glasses used in current foldables, keeping Magic V5’s outer screen strong and protected from everyday damage. This screen includes technology that detects potential risks, offering 15x improved scratch resistance[6] compared with normal glass. It also enhances drop resistance by 10 times compared with normal glass

IP58 & IP59 Rating for Durable Foldable Performance in Demanding Conditions

The HONOR Magic V5, engineered with advanced structural design and premium materials, achieves IP58 and IP59 ratings[7], with improved dust resistance compared with the last generation and the ability to withstand continuous immersion in water up to a depth of 1.5 meter. This level of environmental protection ensures reliable performance and durability in complex outdoor environments, making the HONOR Magic V5 well-suited for both everyday adventures and demanding usage scenarios.

HONOR AI Manufacturing

At the core of the HONOR Magic V5’s groundbreaking design is HONOR’s AI Manufacturing process — the industry leading AI-powered manufacturing system. This transformative approach elevates structural precision, durability, and design integrity to unprecedented levels.

The AI-powered Prediction stage then simulates over 125,000 possible assembly paths[8] and uses real-time sensor data to anticipate maintenance needs. Finally, the AI sorting process also incorporates 3D scanning, achieving 0.003mm dust-level precision control[9]—equivalent to 1/20 the thickness of a human hair. As the first brand to publicly unveil an advanced AI-driven manufacturing process, HONOR sets a new industry benchmark.

Prioritizing both robustness and portability, the HONOR Magic V5 breaks down barriers between traditional smartphones and foldables, offering a revolutionary device poised to make foldables mainstream, providing users with a dependable, enduring, and effortlessly portable companion for years to come.
