HONOR to Revolutionize AI-Powered Productivity on Foldable Phones with the HONOR Magic V5

[London, UK – August 25, 2025] Global leading AI device ecosystem company HONOR today announced the upcoming launch of its new foldable flagship, the HONOR Magic V5, featuring deep integration with Google Gemini¹, a truly helpful personal AI assistant. Developed in close collaboration with Google and powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform, the HONOR Magic V5 is engineered to redefine mobile productivity through intelligent, real-time AI experiences, particularly on foldable devices.

“Our collaboration with Google reflects HONOR’s long-term commitment to bring the latest AI-powered experiences to our devices,” said James Li, CEO of HONOR. “Aligned with our HONOR ALPHA PLAN, HONOR is taking a pivotal step in our transformation into a global AI device ecosystem company, moving beyond smartphones to create open, value-sharing platforms that maximize human potential. With the HONOR Magic V5 as the latest milestone, we’re bringing the benefits of cross-platform AI-powered experiences to the foldable market and beyond.”

Building the Future of AI on Foldables

The HONOR Magic V5 elevates foldable productivity and creativity by seamlessly integrating Google Gemini as an always-available AI assistant. Available by long pressing the power button, Gemini helps users with writing, planning, learning and more, and can pull information and take action across multiple apps and services – all in a single prompt. Users can also talk it out Live with Gemini to brainstorm ideas, simplify complex topics, and rehearse for important moments with real-time responses. They can even ask Gemini about anything they see by sharing their camera or screen in Gemini Live conversations.

To further enhance accessibility, HONOR also created a new "Tap Tap" interaction, enabling users to instantly launch Gemini by double-tapping the back of the device – eliminating the need to unlock or open an app. Paired with HONOR’s Multi-flex mode², the HONOR Magic V5 can run up to three app windows side by side for extremely efficient multitasking. Users can review notes, join a video call, and chat with Gemini all at once. For example, they can drag a term from a document directly into Gemini for immediate clarification without disrupting their workflow, or summarize meeting minutes while simultaneously dragging key dates into their Google Calendar, setting a new standard for AI-driven productivity on foldable devices.

“We are thrilled to see the HONOR Magic V5 leverage the power of Google Gemini to deliver truly innovative AI experiences, on a foldable form factor," added TT Ramgopal, Director of Android Partner Engineering, Google. "This underscores a shared vision for delivering long-term value and an exceptional, secure user experience for consumers."

The HONOR Magic V5 will officially launch in more European markets on August 28, 2025.
