The Future Unfolds: HONOR Magic V5 Makes Its Boldest Move Yet
In a dazzling showcase at Atlantis The Royal, Dubai, HONOR officially launched the Magic V5—its most powerful, slimmest, and smartest foldable yet. Set under the theme “Unfold New Possibilities,” the event united industry leaders, creators, media, and tech enthusiasts from across the Middle East and Africa, signaling a monumental leap in mobile innovation.
The spotlight? A foldable phone that doesn’t just bend—it adapts, thinks, and endures like no other.
Breaking Records: A Foldable So Strong, It Made History
Durability has always been the Achilles’ heel of foldables—until now.
The HONOR Magic V5 shattered expectations by earning a Guinness World Record for lifting 100kg while suspended. This isn’t just a PR moment—it’s engineering proof.
Built with the HONOR Super Steel Hinge, capable of enduring over 500,000 folds, and protected by a NanoCrystal Shield that’s 15x more scratch-resistant than standard glass, this is a phone that keeps up with real life.
And with IP58 and IP59 ratings, it’s dust- and water-resistant to a level few foldables dare to match.
“This record reflects our pursuit of real durability—not just design,” said Ingmar Wang, HONOR MEA President.
