Honor has just launched the Magic V5 in China, with a starting price of CNY 8,999 (about $1,255) for the model featuring 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. There are expectations for a global release later this year, but Honor has yet to confirm this officially. Interestingly, a well-known YouTuber has mentioned that they have received a Magic V5 that operates on global software.

Availability and Features

In the meantime, some third-party sellers are already making the Magic V5 available to those willing to use a smartphone imported from China. It’s worth noting that while the Magic V5 runs on MagicOS 9, similar to the global version of the Magic V3 (which currently sells for $1,550 on Amazon), Honor customizes its Android interface specifically for the Chinese market. Because of this, certain functionalities might not work the same way as they would on the global version.

Options and Specs

At present, Average Dad Tech is the only place to import the Magic V5, offering it in black, gold, orange, and white color choices. This new smartphone, measuring 8.8 mm thick and weighing 217 g, can also be upgraded to include as much as 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. It’s important to mention that all colors except for the white variant are 9 mm thick and weigh 222 g, not including any screen protectors that may be pre-installed. As of now, the Magic V5 is available for order at the following prices, with shipments set to commence on July 9:
