Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic V5 is headed for a strong launch
As we write this, the V5 is preparing to launch in its first European market – that will be on August 12, Tuesday. We still don't know the pricing, so the nearly 14% of voters who think this foldable is too expensive may reconsider. Or they may be proven right, we will check back on Tuesday.
Interestingly, of those not interested in the V5, several commented that it's because they already have a Magic V3 and are quite happy with it. To be fair, the V5 is not an earth-shattering upgrade – it's thinner (4.1mm/8.8mm vs. 4.35mm/9.2mm) and a bit lighter (217g vs. 226g), while offering a bigger battery (5,820mAh for the international model vs. 5,150mAh), but the V3 is still competitive in 2025.
Among those who voted against the Honor Magic V5, there were a few that don't like the hardware (only 4%). Based on the comment section, the software may be a bigger issue – Honor's MagicOS has left a bad impression in some.
Even with some fence-sitters, there are quite a few people who see the V5 as the best horizontal foldable right now and are just waiting for availability in their region. Check back with us next week for a more detailed look at which countries are getting the Magic V5.

Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic V5 is headed for a strong launch
The Honor Magic V5 is pricey but worth it for many voters in last week's poll. The phone's popularity could rise even higher, if it gets good reviews. As we write this, the V5 is preparing to launch in its first European market – that will be on August 12, Tuesday. We still don't know the pricing, so the nearly 14% of voters who think this foldable is too expensive may reconsider. Or they may be proven right, we will check back on Tuesday.

Huawei Mate 80 RS to sport a dual-layer OLED and a titanium frame
Beyond the usual vanilla and Pro models, Huawei has a tradition of releasing a special, often limited-edition RS variation of its flagship, primarily as a showcase of its technological prowess. This year, we will likely get the Mate 80 RS and some industry insider leaks have already started surfacing regarding the crown jewel in Huawei's upcoming roster. The first rumored spec is not that surprising at all since last year's Mate 70 RS Ultimate already debuted the dual-layer OLED tech. Apparently, it will be featured in the Mate 80 RS as well. Dual-layer OLEDs, as the name suggests, have two OLED layers stacked on top of one another, which offers tangible benefits to brightness and longevity, but does cost a lot to manufacture. Of course, this is just a basic oversimplification of the tech, and we wouldn't be surprised if there are more innovations to it this year. Apparently, also similar to its predecessor, the Mate 80 RS has a titanium alloy middle frame. Again, we aren't sure whether it is the same high-gloss titanium basalt structure as on the Mate 70 RS Ultimate, but if not, it is probably something better. Speaking of materials, apparently, the back panel on the Mate 80 RS will have a ceramic feel to it. It's most likely not going to be actually made of ceramic, but rather glass treated in a particular manner. Finally, the source also mentions that there will be some sort of innovation in the telephoto department. On a side note, we do have to wonder whether the Mate 80 RS will have an active built-in cooling fan, as suggested for the Mate 80 and Mate 80 Pro. Source (In Chinese) | Via
