Honor Magic V5 stars in unboxing video, here's what's in the box and how much it weighs

GSM Arena24-06-2025
The Honor Magic V5 is still days away from being officially unveiled (it's coming on July 2, but people have been sharing their hands-on experiences with it already. Yesterday, we looked at some photos shared by Digital Chat Station, now Techtacle has posted an unboxing video that touches on the design and dimensions of the new foldable flagship.
Starting with the unboxing, the phone comes with a 66W charger and a USB A-to-C cable, plus a protective case. The case goes over the 'back' half and over the hinge too, but not the cover display. There is a ring around the camera that can be flipped out to act as a kickstand.

As for the Magic V5 itself, official numbers say that it measures 8.8mm when folded and, apparently, it is 4.1mm when unfolded. The camera island is quite prominent on the back, though it is reportedly not as big as the Magic V3 camera island.

Officially, the V5 is supposed to weigh 217g. However, in the video it tips the scale at 224g – perhaps that's a pre-applied screen protector adding a few grams. The included case is 29g, by the way, bringing the total to 253g.
The Honor Magic V5 is slim and light
In terms of design, this Honor Magic V5 is a red, gold and black combo. The spine (the hinge cover) has a 3D texture painted in gold, while the back is covered with red faux leather and gold trim around the camera.
The hinge is spring-loaded to help open and close the phone, but it can snap to 70° and 90° if you want to use the phone in a half-open state.

Here is what to expect from the Magic V5. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version and a large 6,100mAh battery. It has a triple 50MP camera (though some reports claim the telephoto module has a 64MP sensor instead). The cover display measures 6.45' (and it's curved), while the inner display is 8'. The phone is also supposed to have an IP68/IP69 rating. Again, most of these specs have not been officially confirmed – the big reveal is on July 2 (Wednesday next week).

The upcoming iPhone Fold screen sizes leak

Apple is rumored to be finally stepping into the foldable smartphone game next year - we'll be calling its first such device the iPhone Fold but don't take this for granted, we don't really know the name yet. Today in China, the prolific leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo has revealed the iPhone Fold's screen sizes. The inner, folding display is allegedly going to be 7.7", while the cover screen will be 5.5". That implies quite a different aspect ratio from what we're used to in the Android world. It's definitely not going to be the biggest book-style foldable around, that's for sure, but Apple will undoubtedly emphasize its better pocketability and usability with one hand in its marketing materials. DCS also once again confirms the 2026 release of the device. Past rumors have claimed that the device has already entered prototype testing, with a functioning prototype already created. It may or may not sport an under-display selfie camera for the folding screen, but has been consistently rumored to have a practically crease-free design. This is allegedly the main reason why Apple took so long to join the foldable game - its pursuit of a creaseless screen, and Samsung Display has now finally obliged. Source (in Chinese)

Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro to launch together, here's when

Realme launched the GT 7 Pro in China back in November of last year, and the non-Pro GT7 only in April. This strategy is set to change for their successors, however, if a new rumor from China pans out. According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, both the GT 8 and the GT 8 Pro will launch together in October. The Pro model is rumored to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, which itself is launching in September. The Realme GT 8 Pro is also said to have competitive specs for its screen and battery, and a periscope telephoto camera. A previous leak said the handset would sport a "2K" resolution screen with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and a battery over 7,000 mAh in capacity with support for 100W wired charging. The periscope telephoto camera was rumored to have 200 MP resolution. So, all in all, the GT 8 Pro is looking like a good follow-up to its predecessor, we expect more details about it to be leaking in the coming weeks. Realme GT 7 Pro Source (in Chinese)

OnePlus and Oppo's next move may be a premium and compact Android tablet

Referential image of the OnePlus Pad. | Image credit — OnePlus OnePlus and Oppo may be planning a new chapter in their tablet strategy, with both companies rumored to be working on compact Android tablets powered by a next-gen flagship chipset. According to a leak posted on Chinese social media by the reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the tablet will feature Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which is expected to be formally announced in September under the name Snapdragon 8 Elite OnePlus version of this device is reportedly slated to launch sometime in the first half of 2026, alongside the OnePlus 15T. That phone is expected to succeed the OnePlus 13T and could feature a 6.3-inch display. If this timeline holds, it would be one of the first Android tablets to use Qualcomm's next-generation high-end chip. Image credit — Digital Chat Station on Weibo Both versions of the tablet — from OnePlus and Oppo — are said to include an 8.8-inch display, making them smaller than the companies' previous tablets, such as the OnePlus Pad (11.6 inches) and the Oppo Pad 2 (also 11.6 inches). While no other specs have been confirmed yet, this new form factor suggests the two brands may be targeting the compact premium tablet segment, potentially in competition with Apple's iPad mini or Lenovo's high-performance Tab Extreme the close relationship between Oppo and OnePlus, it is not surprising to hear that the two might be developing similar hardware under different brand names. The two companies have previously released nearly identical devices with minor software or design differences, such as the Oppo Pad 2 and OnePlus Pad, which were both released in 2023 and featured the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 we still don't have pricing or a detailed spec sheet, the timing of the launch — well after Qualcomm's chipset announcement — suggests both tablets may arrive in early 2026. That could give OnePlus and Oppo a chance to position these models against competitors' next-gen tablets, including Samsung's expected Galaxy Tab S11 lineup and whatever follow-up Apple has planned for the iPad mini. As always, we'll be keeping an eye on this development and will share more once specifications, design, and regional availability become clearer. For now, the idea of an 8.8-inch Android tablet with top-tier internals is something that will likely appeal to users who want a compact yet powerful slate without having to jump to the more expensive or larger tablet options.
