The rather old chipset that powers the Magic V Flip is probably one of the phone’s few downsides. Unfortunately, Honor opted for a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which was launched about two years ago.
On the bright side, the phone comes with 12/16GB RAM and 256GB/1TB internal storage, depending on the model. When it comes to camera, the Honor Magic V Flip doesn’t disappoint.
The flip foldable features a 50-megapixel main camera that includes a Sony IMX906 sensor, as well as a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. In the front, the high-end device has a no less impressive 50-megapixel selfie snapper with a Sony IMX816 sensor.
As expected, the phone runs on MagicOS 8.0 based on Android 14, and it’s powered by a 4,800 mAh battery with 66W fast charging support.
For the time being, the Honor Magic V Flip is only available in China. Customers can choose between three different colors (Iris Black, Champagne Pink, and Camellia White) and a limited-edition Jimmy Choo variant, which we already told you about.
As far as the pricing goes, the cheapest version (12/256GB) of Magic V Flip sells in China for CNY 4,999 ($690 / €640), while the most expensive (16GB/1TB) is available for CNY 5,999 ($825 / €765). At this price point, Honor’s first-ever flip foldable will definitely challenge Samsung’s Z Flip lineup.
