The first three colorways match those of last year’s Magic V3, but the addition of gold could be a fresh move by Honor to give the device a more premium appearance. While color alone won’t determine a phone’s success, it can help a product stand out in a competitive market, especially as more brands start offering similar foldable designs.
Expected design and features
Competition with Samsung’s next foldable
That’s where the Silk Gold color on the Magic V5 might give Honor a visual edge, even if just for initial impressions. While Samsung continues to lead the global foldables market, Honor has been quietly gaining ground, especially in the ultra-thin segment.
Whether the Magic V5 can compete on performance remains to be seen, but a slimmer design, larger battery, and refreshed styling suggest Honor is aiming to push its foldable series forward in both form and function. We’ll be watching closely as the official launch approaches.
