Super-svelte body, fast chip, high capacity battery and big camera make it some of the best phone-tablet hardware<\/p>\n

Honor\u2019s latest foldable phone-tablet attempts to usurp Samsung as the leader of the pack with a super-thin body, massive battery and a ginormous camera lump on the back.<\/p>\n

The Magic V5 is an impressively thin piece of engineering, slimmed down to about 8.9mm thick when shut, with each half about the same thickness as a USB-C port. It feels very similar to a standard slab phone in the hand, but one you can open up like a book for a mini-tablet on the go.<\/p>\n
