Honor Magic V5
A stunning achievement in foldable engineering. At 4.1mm unfolded and 217g, the Magic V5 lays completely flat with a nearly invisible crease and feels like a normal phone when folded. IP58/IP59 water resistance outclasses Samsung, and S Pen support adds versatility. The large camera bump does cause wobble on flat surfaces.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra
Premium all-around build with a massive camera module that houses the 1-inch sensor, IP68 rating, and refined aesthetics.

Honor Magic V5
Honor arguably offers the best foldable displays in the market. The 7.95-inch LTPO OLED inner display hits 5,000 nits peak brightness, and both panels support Dolby Vision with 4,320Hz PWM dimming for exceptional eye comfort. The crease is nearly imperceptible in daily use.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra
A stunning 6.73-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED with 120Hz, 3,200 nits peak brightness, and Dolby Vision support.
Honor Magic V5
Snapdragon 8 Elite with up to 16GB RAM handles demanding games and multitasking across the large inner screen with ease. Two or three apps running simultaneously is smooth. The ultra-thin chassis does limit thermal dissipation, causing throttling after about 15 minutes of sustained heavy load.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra
Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16GB RAM delivers the fastest Android performance available with excellent thermal management.
Honor Magic V5
A major step up from the Magic V4, delivering one of the best rear camera systems on any foldable. Natural portraits with accurate subject detection and good low-light performance. However, the 10MP selfie cameras (both inner and outer) are weak, and AI processing can over-sharpen and produce unnatural color boosting.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra
The crown jewel — a triple Leica camera system with a 1-inch main sensor, 200MP telephoto, and 50MP ultrawide that redefines smartphone photography.
