7.9-inches main and 6.45-inch cover screen

It was bound to happen and the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 foldable phone honor goes to Honor Magic V, a rather neat looking 6.45-inch phone that unfolds into 7.9-inch one.

The Honor Magic V measures at 160.4x141.1x6.7mm when unfolded and rather reasonable and 160.4x72.7x14.3mm when folded. Such dimensions make it closer to a standard phone when folded with a 21:9 aspect ratio, something that Honor was keen to point out when they compared it to the Galaxy Z Fold3, which has a rather narrow 25:9 ratio. It also comes with a glass front and glass back, and there is an optional eco-leather back as well.

The main 7.9-inch screen, which folds completely flat, is a flexible OLED screen with 2272x1984 resolution, leaving it with a 10.3:9 aspect ratio and a 90Hz refresh rate. As expected, it is a 10-bit panel with HDR10+ support and 800nits of peak brightness. It also gets IMAX Enhanced certification, making it one of the first foldable phones with such a rating.
