It is listed in 12GB + 256GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB RAM and storage options.

The Honor Magic V5 is confirmed to measure 8.8mm in thickness in the folded state, and it is claimed to be the world's thinnest and lightest foldable smartphone. Honor has not provided details about the weight of the foldable.

The official renders show the Honor Magic V5 with a circular protruding rear camera island that appears to house three sensors. 

Honor Magic V5 launch is set to take place on July 2 in China. It is expected to come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 16GB of RAM. The phone is likely to have an IPX8-rated build and a 6,100mAh battery with 66W wired fast charging support. The handset may get a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover screen and an 8-inch 2K inner display.
