Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic V5 is headed for a strong launch

The Honor Magic V5 is pricey but worth it for many voters in last week’s poll. The phone’s popularity could rise even higher, if it gets good reviews.

As we write this, the V5 is preparing to launch in its first European market – that will be on August 12, Tuesday. We still don’t know the pricing, so the nearly 14% of voters who think this foldable is too expensive may reconsider. Or they may be proven right, we will check back on Tuesday.

Interestingly, of those not interested in the V5, several commented that it’s because they already have a Magic V3 and are quite happy with it. To be fair, the V5 is not an earth-shattering upgrade – it’s thinner (4.1mm/8.8mm vs. 4.35mm/9.2mm) and a bit lighter (217g vs. 226g), while offering a bigger battery (5,820mAh for the international model vs. 5,150mAh), but the V3 is still competitive in 2025.

Among those who voted against the Honor Magic V5, there were a few that don’t like the hardware (only 4%). Based on the comment section, the software may be a bigger issue – Honor’s MagicOS has left a bad impression in some.

Even with some fence-sitters, there are quite a few people who see the V5 as the best horizontal foldable right now and are just waiting for availability in their region. Check back with us next week for a more detailed look at which countries are getting the Magic V5.
