The HONOR Magic V5 is out and it’s one of the newest foldable phones released this year. So, in this comparison, we have the HONOR Magic V5 up against the Galaxy Z Fold7. The HONOR Magic V5 still uses a circular camera module, and taking a closer look, the enclosure now has diamond-patterned edges adding a higher sense of premium. Speaking of the frame, this particular Magic V5 measures 9 mm thin when folded and 4.2 mm when unfolded. That’s a 0.1 mm difference to be exact as compared to the Magic V5, but when you compare it to previous Galaxy Z Fold models, this is a big improvement. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is IP48 rated for dust and water resistance, but the Magic V5 offers stronger protection, having both IP58 and IP59 ratings. In terms of design and build, I would commend the HONOR Magic V5 having a stronger level of ingress protection. The HONOR Magic V5 sports a 7.95-inch LTPO AMOLED folding display running at 120Hz and has a peak brightness of 5000 nits.
