Score Breakdown
Editorial
Honor skipped the V4 iteration and put out Magic V5 - the thinnest FOLD phone in the world. At 8.8mm total thickness, the USB-C port barely fits in and to make future foldables any thinner, the device would have to drop the USB port altogether. Honor also dust protection, increased water resistance, put in a bigger battery and improved the back cameras. A great upgrade overall.
