KUWAIT CITY, Aug 22: HONOR, a global leading AI device ecosystem company, today announces the official open sale availability of the groundbreaking HONOR Magic V5 across the Middle East and Africa.
Following an overwhelmingly successful pre-order phase that exceeded expectations and demonstrated strong consumer demand for next-generation foldable technology, the HONOR Magic V5 is now available to all consumers seeking the ultimate combination of design excellence, durability, and AI innovation.
The HONOR Magic V5’s pre-order phase demonstrated exceptional market reception, with strong consumer response validating HONOR’s strategic vision to position foldables as the primary smartphone choice in the region.
Setting New Standards: Slimmer, Smarter, and Stronger
At just 8.8mm thin when folded and a remarkable 4.1mm when unfolded, the Magic V5 delivers an ultra-slim profile that rivals traditional bar phones while providing the expanded functionality of a foldable device. This engineering achievement makes HONOR Magic V5 portable and practical foldable, eliminating the compromise between form factor and functionality that has characterized previous generations of foldable devices.
Uncompromising Durability and World Record Strength
Durability concerns that have traditionally plagued foldable devices have been comprehensively addressed through HONOR’s advanced engineering and materials science. HONOR Magic V5 features IP58 and IP59 ratings, providing exceptional resistance to dust and water ingress, making it suitable for diverse environmental conditions and active lifestyles. The innovative NanoCrystal Shield technology offers 15x improved scratch resistance compared to regular glass, protecting the device’s premium surfaces from daily wear and damage.
The device’s structural integrity reached new heights when the HONOR Magic V5 set a Guinness World Record by successfully lifting 104kg - establishing it as the record holder for the Heaviest Weight Lifted by a Suspended Foldable Smartphone.
This achievement demonstrates the exceptional strength and durability engineered into every aspect of the device, from its next-generation HONOR Super Steel Hinge that can withstand for 500,000 folds to its ability to lift up to 100kg vertically under controlled conditions.
Revolutionary Power: Industry’s Largest Foldable Battery
Power management has been completely reimagined with the Magic V5’s groundbreaking 5820mAh silicon-carbon battery - the largest ever integrated into a foldable smartphone.

The advanced battery technology supports 66W wired and 50W wireless HONOR SuperCharge capabilities, ensuring users can quickly restore power and maintain productivity throughout demanding daily schedules.
The silicon-carbon battery represents a significant advancement in mobile power technology, offering superior energy density compared to traditional lithium-ion solutions while contributing to the device’s overall weight reduction.
This innovation addresses one of the primary concerns consumers have expressed about foldable devices - battery longevity - while also supporting the device’s premium slim design aesthetic.

Artificial Intelligence capabilities distinguish HONOR Magic V5 as more than just a hardware advancement, positioning it as an intelligent productivity and entertainment companion. The integrated Magic Sidebar feature brings personalized AI suggestions directly into users’ workflows, adapting in real-time based on current activities and usage patterns.
Whether summarizing lengthy articles, providing real-time subtitles during video content, or optimizing multitasking workflows, the AI capabilities make complex tasks effortless and intuitive.
Google Gemini integration takes AI accessibility to the next level, with pre-installation and instant access via a simple ‘Tap Tap’ gesture on the device’s back panel. This seamless integration ensures that advanced AI capabilities for organizing schedules, creative writing, learning assistance, and productivity enhancement are always within reach, transforming how users interact with their mobile devices.
