As Samsung prepares for the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Honor has teased its rival by announcing the imminent arrival of its Magic V5. With an ultra-thin design and strong ambitions in terms of artificial intelligence, the Chinese brand's smartphone aims to establish itself as a serious alternative in the increasingly popular folding smartphone segment.
An ever-thinner design and a launch date for the Honor Magic V5
The Honor Magic V5 will be officially unveiled on July 2. In a first teaser image, the company emphasizes the extreme thinness of the device, which is presented in profile, closed. The volume and power buttons are visible, but it's the thickness that is most impressive. Although the exact figure has not been revealed, everything suggests that the Magic V5 will be thinner than the Honor Magic V3, which already measured only 9.3 mm when folded.
This strategy clearly seems to be aimed at Samsung. The manufacturer clearly wants to compete directly with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, whose leaks also announce a significant reduction in thickness. Honor therefore seems to be betting on a war of millimeters to stand out in terms of design.
A smartphone focused on AI and productivity
Beyond thinness, Honor promises that its Magic V5 will also be "the most powerful AI smartphone" ever designed by the brand. Although concrete details are lacking for the moment, the promise of "PC-like productivity" and interconnectivity with other devices suggests features geared towards professionals and creatives.
The launch is initially planned in China, with global marketing expected at a later stage. For those wondering where the Magic V4 has gone, remember that the number 4 is unlucky in China, as it is almost homophonous with the word "death." Honor has therefore preferred to skip this step and go directly to number 5.
