Honor unveiled the Honor Magic V at a Chinese launch event in January 2022, its first foray into the foldable smartphone market. It's a Chinese exclusive with no international launch date in sight, but it packs high-end specifications in one folding package. It's a similar form-factor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, though slightly wider on the front-facing display. Specs-wise, it packs a 120Hz cover display, a 90Hz inner-display, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset powering the entire device.

We first heard rumors about Honor's first foldable smartphone back in June last year. At the time, we only learned that the device would feature in-folding panels from BOE and Visionox. Following that, we didn't see any new information about the device until last month, when Honor shared a teaser confirming its name -- Honor Magic V. Last week, Honor further revealed that it will launch the device on January 10 and gave us a glimpse of its design. The company has now finally lifted the covers off its first foldable phone, and here's everything you need to know about it.

Back in November, we added new subforums for the Redmi Note 11 series, Huawei Watch GT 3, and Xperia Pro-I. Now three more devices have their own dedicated forums to hang out in!
