The Honor Magic V5 is a truly 'thincredible' phone with an edge over the Galaxy Fold 7


Honor does enough with the Magic V5 to make it stand out against the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

(Image credit: Apoorva Bhardwaj / Android Central)Vivo's X Fold 5 continues to be one of my favorite foldables of 2025, and although it doesn't differ too much to its predecessor, it combines a set of great cameras with useful software features and the best battery life of any device in this category. Honor has a definite edge over Samsung in key areas: the cameras are undoubtedly better than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and the Magic V5 has much better battery life, and the OLED panels are brighter and have meaningful eye protection features.
