Honor seems to be winning—at least on paper—with the Magic V5. At just 8.8mm thick when folded, it’s currently one of the slimmest foldable phones you can buy. But here’s the catch: Honor’s slim Magic V5 foldable is fun to use, minus the huge camera bump that changes the experience.
First Impressions: Thin but Not Perfect
The Magic V5 feels impressively sleek in hand. Its frame is lightweight, and the polished edges make it comfortable to grip—at least until your fingers hit the oversized camera bump. For many users, this makes the otherwise premium feel a little awkward at first.
That bump doesn’t just affect comfort. It also impacts how the phone rests when placed on a flat surface. Folded, the slant is tolerable. Unfolded, though, the wobble it creates is hard to ignore.
A Design Tradeoff
Honor deserves credit for chasing ultra-thin engineering in a foldable form factor. The Magic V5 shows how far hardware innovation has come, packing a large internal display into a body slimmer than many traditional smartphones.
But the camera design clearly wasn’t optimized for balance. The bump sticks out enough to disrupt both comfort and usability. For a phone aiming to be the sleekest in its category, that feels like a contradiction.
If you love futuristic foldables, Honor’s Magic V5 is one of the most stylish options around. Its slim profile makes it fun to carry, and the main display delivers an immersive experience.
Still, the huge camera bump is more than a minor flaw—it’s something you’ll notice every single day. Whether that tradeoff is worth it depends on how much you value thinness over ergonomics.
One thing’s clear: Honor’s slim Magic V5 foldable is fun to use, minus the huge camera bump, which keeps it from being the perfect foldable.
