HONOR has officially launched its latest flagship foldable phone, the HONOR Magic V5, and has invited popular heartthrob Lin Feng to once again serve as the star experience officer. He made a special appearance at the launch event to demonstrate the phone’s new AI features. As a long-term partner of the brand, Lin Feng personally showcased key features like One opening, three screens. and Cross-Brand Data Transfer, and shockingly lifted dumbbells connected to the phone to test its durability, all while flaunting his strong physique.
The biggest surprise at the press conference was none other than the reunion of Lin Feng and Zhong Jiaxin, who recreated their classic on-screen partnership through a video call, Cheng Liang and Always on My Mind together again. The duo had previously collaborated on a brand promotional video for HONOR Magic V5, marking their first on-screen appearance together in 18 years. They brought a courtroom drama scene to life, this time focusing on the competition between foldable and traditional smartphones. Lin Feng represented the foldable phone, while Zhong Jiaxin championed the traditional smartphone, engaging in a lively debate that highlighted differences in thickness, battery life, and multitasking capabilities.
The HONOR Magic V5, with a sleek thickness of just 8.8mm, proudly claims its spot among the world’s thinnest foldable smartphones. Weighing in at a mere 217g, this lightweight design doesn’t compromise on battery performance, boasting an impressive 5820mAh battery capacity for all-day, stress-free use. Additionally, the phone has achieved IP58 and IP59 ratings for water and dust resistance, showcasing exceptional durability. The AI features have also significantly advanced, including a triple-display multitasking interface, support for cross-brand file transfers, and a flagship-level AI photography system that blends practicality with cutting-edge technology.
This mobile phone is available in four stylish colors: Dawn Gold, Warm White, Silk Road Dunhuang, and Velvet Black. It features a configuration of 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage. Starting today until August 13, reservations can be made at Hong Kong’s HONOR official experience stores, authorized retailers, and online platforms, with a suggested retail price of HK$11,999. Customers who pre-order will also receive rich benefits worth over HK$10,000, including the SONY WH-1000XM5 wireless noise-canceling headphones valued at HK$3,190, a 180-day replacement service, first-year screen protection plan, and free screen film application within one year.
The brand emphasizes that while the HONOR Magic V5 boasts impressive waterproof and drop-resistance capabilities, users should still avoid charging the device in humid conditions during everyday use. Additionally, the protective features may gradually diminish due to wear and tear, so it’s advisable for users to follow the operational instructions to extend the product’s lifespan.
