Honor will unveil the Magic V5 foldable smartphone on July 2
By ForGeeks Honor has announced the launch date for its new Magic V5 foldable smartphone, which will be the thinnest device in the brand’s history. The company has published a teaser showing the official launch date of July 2, 2025.
The new device will be a direct competitor to Samsung’s anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7. Honor emphasizes that the Magic V5 will be the lightest and thinnest foldable smartphone on the market, and will also get advanced artificial intelligence-based features. The device promises “PC-level performance” and integration with other brands.

Honor’s thinnest foldable smartphone
Honor already set a record last year with the Magic V3, which is just 9.3mm thick when folded. That’s just a millimeter thicker than the standard Pixel 9 monoblock – an impressive result for a device with those specs.
The company is now aiming to break its own record. The teaser shows the Magic V5 in the closed position – the power and volume buttons are visible, and the thickness of the case is visually minimal. While the exact dimensions have yet to be revealed, Honor is explicitly stating that the Magic V5 will be its thinnest foldable smartphone yet.

Focus on AI and cross-platform capabilities
The teaser emphasizes the key role of artificial intelligence. The Magic V5 is being called the brand’s “most powerful AI smartphone”. Exactly what features will be implemented is not yet known, but the tagline in the image hints at advanced intelligence:

It’s all about full support for cross-device scenarios and increased PC-level productivity
Competition with Samsung and global launch
Honor has also explicitly hinted at competition with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, saying it aims to beat Samsung in the foldable flagship category. The Z Fold 7, according to leaks, will also be the thinnest in the lineup’s history.
The Honor Magic V5 will be officially unveiled on July 2. The first market will be China, but a global release is also expected. It probably won’t be available in the US, like the brand’s previous models.
