User Experience Summary
Magic V5
Strengths
- Class-leading thinness at 8.8 mm folded and 4.1 mm open without sacrificing 5820 mAh Si/C battery
- Among the subtlest creases and strongest endurance stories in book foldables
- Snapdragon 8 Elite responsive for productivity multitasking on 6.43-inch cover and 7.95-inch inner displays
Compromises
- €1700 premium with proprietary 50 W wireless and MagicOS depth trailing Samsung
- Camera bump table wobble when 145.9 mm inner screen laid flat
- 217–222 g folded weight and tall 156.8 mm height versus compact flagships
