Magic V3 vs Magic V5 Size Comparison
User Experience Summary
Magic V3
Strengths
- Thinnest and lightest book-style foldable available on the market
- Exceptional 5,150mAh battery with up to two-day endurance for some users
- Genuinely improved 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom
Compromises
- MagicOS continues to lack the polish of rival foldable software
- Camera system doesn't quite match the best standalone flagship cameras
- Running the large internal display accelerates battery drain
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
