Honor is bringing the Magic V5 \u2014 the world\u2019s thinnest foldable phone, though only just \u2014 to Europe, where it\u2019s available to order now following its Chinese launch last month<\/a>. It\u2019s joined by a new MagicPad 3 tablet and MagicBook Art 14 laptop.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just reviewed the Magic V5<\/a>, which is a whole 0.1mm thinner than either the Oppo Find N5<\/a> or Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>. That only counts for the white model though, with the other colors matching Oppo and Samsung phones in size thanks to different materials for the finish. It\u2019s also only counting the phone\u2019s main body \u2014 Honor\u2019s supersized camera bump is thicker than those of its rivals, and if you measure by that then Oppo still holds the crown.<\/p>\n

The V5\u2019s big advantage is its battery. Thanks to a 15 percent silicon-carbon blend, space-saving compared to traditional batteries, it boasts a huge 5,820mAh capacity \u2014 way more than Samsung\u2019s 4,400mAh. Battery anxiety, be gone.<\/p>\n

Other specs include Qualcomm\u2019s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset<\/a>, up to 16GB of RAM, and an IP58 \/ 59 rating that almost matches the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/a> on dust protection. The giant camera bump isn\u2019t just for show either: the 50-megapixel main and ultrawide cameras, and 64-megapixel telephoto, are among the best I\u2019ve used on any foldable phone. It starts from \u00a31,699.99 \/ \u20ac1,999 (around $2,300), putting it in line with other foldables.<\/p>\n

The V5 is joined by two other launches. The MagicPad 3 is a 13.3-inch Android tablet with a 165Hz LCD display, and it\u2019s also impressively thin at 5.8mm. That\u2019s despite a generous 12,450mAh battery and 66W wired charging. It\u2019s launching in the UK for \u00a3599.99 (about $800).<\/p>\n

The MagicBook Art 14 is a Windows laptop that \u2014 you\u2019ll never believe it \u2014 is quite thin, clocking in around 10mm, with a slender magnesium-titanium body. The 14.6-inch OLED screen has a 3.1K resolution, and the laptop is powered by Intel chips, including the Arc 140T GPU. It\u2019s probably more of a looker than a powerhouse, but comes at a premium price: \u00a31,499.99 \/ \u20ac1,699 (around $2,000).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Honor is bringing the Magic V5 \u2014 the world\u2019s thinnest foldable phone, though only just \u2014 to Europe,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99079,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1631,786,59,10800,2306,50,6994,227,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-99078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-foldable-phones","tag-gadgets","tag-gb","tag-laptops","tag-mobile","tag-news","tag-phones","tag-tech","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
