The inner crease is also less pronounced this year, reduced by 44% compared to the Magic V5, according to Honor.
It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and the inner display reaches 5,000 nits of peak brightness while the outer screen hits 6,000 nits.
It runs on a 7,150mAh battery in China, one of the largest of any foldable currently sold.
You can get it for £1999.99 for the 16GB/512GB model in the UK.
Best Mid-Range: Honor 600 Pro
The Honor 600 Pro replaced the 400 Pro this year and pushed the camera's zoom range considerably further in the process.
Quick note: the Honor 500 Pro didn't launch globally.
It features a 6.57-inch AMOLED display at 2728×1264 resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 8,000 nits of peak brightness, running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
The camera is the real draw here.
It has a 200MP main sensor with a 1/1.4-inch sensor paired with a 50MP telephoto lens offering up to 120x zoom, well beyond what most mid-range phones attempt, while the standard Honor 600 tops out around 30x.
The phone ships with a 7000mAh battery, 80W wired charging, and carries IP68/IP69K ratings. It is priced around $929.
Best Budget: Honor X80i
The X80i replaced the X70 as Honor's current mid-tier X-series pick, and it swaps the X70's battery-first approach for a stronger focus on display quality and durability.
It features a 6.6-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 6,500 nits of peak brightness, numbers that are unusually high for a phone in this price bracket.

Pricing in China starts at 1,999 yuan (~ $300).
