HONOR Magic V5: Exclusive worry-free 2-year warranty for latest foldable
DESPITE rising interest in foldable smartphones, durability remains a key concern for many consumers. Much of this stems from the high cost of repairs. Replacing parts like the inner screen can run into the thousands, nearly the price of a new mid-range device such as the HONOR 400. The newly launched HONOR Magic V5 tackles this worry directly, offering a robust design paired with a 2-Year Worry-Free Warranty for added peace of mind. QUALITY ASSURANCE Every HONOR Magic V5 purchase qualifies for this warranty, which comes with two layers of support: 1-Year Worry-Free Crack Protection. Users can enjoy a one-time replacement service* for both the inner and outer screens in case of cracks. *A labour fee of RM60 applies. 2-Year Quality Assurance. Non-user-induced damages, such as green lines, screen leakage or display abnormalities, qualify for a free screen replacement within two years. Users can get unlimited free replacements throughout the warranty period. CRAFTED FOR LONGEVITY The HONOR Magic V5 is equipped with an Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield, which boasts 3x wear resistance, 10x drop resistance and 15x scratch resistance. This shield withstands everyday hazards, such as key scratches and drops onto hard surfaces, pushing the durability benchmark for folding devices. The device also features a Super Armoured Inner Screen, which features a three-layer protective structure: Its outermost layer is an alumina-coated anti-scratch film The middle layer is infused with a non-Newtonian fluid, which absorbs shock from drops The innermost layer integrates a full carbon fibre backing around the hinge to block dust ingress, a common cause of green line screen failures In addition, HONOR has integrated an AI Particle Detection System that actively monitors for debris trapped between the screens and alerts users in real-time to prevent potential damage. Reinforcing the Magic V5's outer shell is a seven-layer aerospace-grade fibre body, offering 40 times more impact resistance than standard materials. This advanced fibre composition is the same used in high-stakes applications such as suspension ropes in spacesuits, SpaceX spacecraft parachutes and China's police ballistic armour, offering a rare combination of high strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and ultra-lightweight performance. The HONOR Super Steel Hinge is tested for 500,000 folds, equivalent to over 13 years of usage at a rate of 100 folds per day. It is constructed with shield steel (2,300MPa strength), increasing hinge impact resistance by 25 per cent. The device also meets IP58 and IP59 ratings, offering dust resistance against particles larger than 1mm, water resistance up to 1.5m depth for 30 minutes and protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. NO COMPROMISE ON PERFORMANCE In terms of specs, the HONOR Magic V5 packs a 5,820mAh Silicon Carbon Ultra-thin battery that supports all-day battery life even under heavy use. Measuring 2.1mm, with 15% silicon content, it provides considerable capacity within a compact space. Unlike conventional batteries that use a basic hybrid layering system, HONOR's design adopts a sandwich-like anode coating approach that layers silicon and graphite, enhancing both durability and power density. The device supports 66W Super Fast Charging and 50W Wireless HONOR SuperCharge, capable of reaching 50 per cent in 16 minutes and a full charge in 43 minutes. Performance is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with a Titanium Vapour Chamber Cooling system. This comprises a combination of multi-layer graphene and an ultra-thin vapour chamber covering a 19,000mm² area. Real-world usage reveals that even under heavy loads such as gaming, thermal throttling is reduced by nearly 50 per cent, ensuring sustained high performance. Completing the premium feature set is one of the most impressive camera setups ever seen on a foldable. The Magic V5 includes a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 64MP periscope telephoto lens with dual Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), supporting up to 100x hybrid zoom. The HONOR Magic V5 is now available for purchase online and in-store. Find out more on HONOR's website.

Honor and Blue Bulls announce technology device partnership
The technology and innovation company has been announced as the technology device partner, ushering in an era of technologically driven performance for the Pretoria outfit. The Blue Bulls are proud to announce global technology brand, Honor, as their exclusive technology devices sponsor. The significance of this partnership signifies the huge shift that has been happening in global sports, in which gaming tactics and technology are increasingly relying on each other to ensure the best possible team coordination and performance outcomes. The collaboration emphasises Honor's dedication to fuse useful technology with everyday life, work and play. The brand's notable 180% growth rate in 2024 and the milestone achievement of over one million units sold in South Africa demonstrate its investment and activity in the South African market. Its latest corporate strategy, the HONOR ALPHA PLAN, aims to transform the future of AI and smart technology, from digital AI agents to physical applications that will redefine human interaction with intelligent devices. As the technology partner to the Bulls, Honor will equip the team with smart technology, supporting the players and technical teams with smart devices across its extensive product range to improve their game, connect with fans and simplify their daily living. Fred Zhou, CEO of Honor Technologies Africa, expressed that, 'The Blue Bulls are a South African brand that is synonymous with sporting achievement that unites South Africans from all walks of life. The team has a great history of brilliance in on-the-field performance as well as fostering a strong relationship with communities that form part of its fanbase. As Honor, we've decided to join this family and together we intend on ushering an era of technology and innovation-driven performance and connection.' Rugby is a huge part of the lives of South Africans. Every success achieved on the pitch has a significant impact on the mood and attitude of the country. The link between this sporting culture and technological innovation can only maximise the success we've come to expect over the years. 'For us as the Bulls, this partnership with Honor entrenches our longstanding commitment to continually improve the efficacy of our team's coordination, communication and performance on and off the field. This extends beyond the players and technical staff, but to the fans who have supported this great team and who see it as an extension of themselves,' says Blue Bulls CEO, Edgar Rathbone. Seamless trust between technological innovation and people can be likened to the tact, adaptability and awareness required in the field of play. The association between performance and innovation is implicit. 'As with our recently launched HONOR 400 & 400 Pro devices which deliver steady, social-ready results every time, manifested in crisp, AI-enhanced zoom of up to 50×, the Blue Bulls player is an individual who stays steps ahead in the game, and I must say that we're glad to be partnership with them,' summed up Fred Zhou.

How slick is really slick?
There's a clear shift in what South Africans expect from a smartphone. Performance matters but so does style. With a frosted finish, flat edges and carefully considered colours, the new HONOR 400 series looks the part, without even trying too hard. Both the HONOR 400 and HONOR 400 Pro seize the spotlight when the cameras roll, meetings start and when the cutting-edge AI content possibilities make their entrance with a gasp. Smartphone features matter in Mzansi, which is why most new launches loudly announce their shopping list of specs. Yet, the HONOR 400 series knows how confusing this can be for those wanting a device with the right form and fit. This is why they've focussed on making their own flair - flow into everyday life. It's like great style - it should speak for itself, without needing to be explained. That's exactly where the HONOR 400 Series is slicker than the average. At a glance, they carry all the symbols of a high-end device from frosted-glass finishes, polished camera layout, symmetrical lines and style simplified. Both devices then follow through with the confidence to show up in the hands of the right people: creators, entrepreneurs, future-focussed students and professionals - who don't just use their phones, they rely on them. Wherever they need to impress they look the part from power to performance. In lecture halls and study cafés, where next-gen minds capture ideas and edit on the fly At launch events and small business pop-ups, where content needs to be shot, cleaned and shared instantly · Behind the lens of stylists, designers and curators, where its AMOLED accuracy matters Or on daily runs of meetings, meetings and more meetings, where battery life can't tap out early. Slick seen in all the right spaces The AI-enhanced camera system adds to this series' aura. A 200MP main sensor, combined with AI Portrait Snap and Veo 2-powered Image-to-Video, makes your best moment reel-ready without the need for retouching. On the HONOR Pro, a 50MP telephoto and 50× AI SuperZoom takes storytelling to new heights and distances. Whether you're translating a business call or reviewing footage under pressure, The Snapdragon chips, supported by MagicOS 9.0 and a 6000mAh battery, keeps the on point, on target - power that goes on and on. In an industry where specs often shout, the HONOR 400 Series simply fits, effortlessly, elegantly and clearly designed for people who prefer to be noticed for all the right reasons. Because sometimes, the slickest moves are the ones that just quietly stepped into the spotlight.
