Dimensions and weight
The Magic V5 weighs 217 grams. Its slim body makes it easier to carry when folded and handle when the larger screen is open. It measures 8.8 mm thick when folded and 4.1 mm when unfolded.
Triple camera and zoom
There are three cameras on the back:
- Main camera: 50 MP, f/1.6 aperture and optical image stabilization (OIS).
- Ultra-wide camera: 50 MP and f/2.0 aperture, suited to wider shots.
- Periscope telephoto camera: 64 MP, OIS and 3× optical zoom. Digital zoom reaches up to 100×.
Optical image stabilization helps reduce the effect of hand shake when taking photos and recording video. The telephoto camera brings distant subjects closer optically; image quality may decline when using digital zoom.
Connectivity and the Hong Kong version
The phone supports 5G and Wi-Fi 7, which can be useful for streaming, gaming or work. Actual speeds and responsiveness also depend on the network and connected devices. Other features include eSIM, NFC, Bluetooth 6.0, GPS and an infrared port. NFC can be used for contactless payments, GPS for positioning, and the infrared port can serve as a remote control for devices.
The version intended for Hong Kong supports mobile networks in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, Google services including the Play Store, Slovak and Czech languages, and contactless payments. The ability to pay also depends on the payment service and bank, not on the phone's selected language.
IP58 and IP59 protection
The Magic V5 has IP58 and IP59 ratings. The digit 5 indicates protection against dust, not complete dust-tightness. The digit 8 relates to immersion in water under specified conditions, while 9 relates to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
These ratings do not guarantee that the phone will be undamaged by water or dust. No drop or impact resistance figures are given, so it is sensible to handle the device carefully and consider a protective case.
Battery and charging
The battery has a capacity of 5,820 mAh. Battery life on a single charge will depend on how the phone is used. It supports 66 W wired charging and 50 W wireless charging. Wireless charging lets you replenish the battery without connecting a cable directly to the phone.
