This "gap" has opened up different opportunities, helping the market have more breakthrough products such as Honor Magic V5 - a completely thin folding smartphone.
Foldable smartphones explode on the market
In a few years, foldable smartphones have gone from being an experimental product to one of the fastest-growing premium segments in the market. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global size of this product line is estimated to reach 31.3 billion USD in 2025 and could reach 118.87 billion USD in 2030, with a compound growth rate (CAGR) of more than 30% in the period 2025-2030. The motivation for choosing foldable smartphones is mostly due to the need for multitasking, flexibility and different designs that traditional bar-shaped phones have difficulty providing.
In Vietnam, the market picture has many distinct colors. Foldable phones currently account for 0.2-2% of sales but contribute up to 6.6% of revenue in some large systems, which shows strong attraction but also reflects users' reservations about durability, battery capacity and experience. In response to that concern, Honor Magic V5 was launched as a comprehensive solution: Slim but still powerful, durable and smart, ready to set a new standard for the era of foldable smartphones in Vietnam.

The all-folding era begins with the Honor Magic V5
Honor Magic V5 eliminates the stereotype of "beautiful but weak battery" that is associated with foldable smartphones. With a 5,820 mAh battery, the largest in the segment, combined with 66 W wired fast charging and 50 W wireless, the product brings a complete experience throughout the day for work and entertainment. It is the balance between thinness and battery power that helps Honor Magic V5 affirm the first pillar of the "comprehensive folding" standard - thin but durable.

Durability used to be the Achilles heel of most foldable phones. Many users were concerned about the hinge, screen, and durability of the device. With the Honor Magic V5, Honor set a new standard: IP58/59 dust and water resistance, an automatic object detection mechanism when folded, and a firmly reinforced hinge.
The product is recognized by Guinness as the world's most durable folding phone, able to successfully lift a total of 104 kg, including an 84 kg refrigerator and 20 kg of weights fixed in the middle. Accordingly, users can rest assured that it will be a long-term companion.

Thin - durable - smart: What creates a new standard for foldable smartphones
The three pillars: Thin but strong - thin but durable - thin but smart, are contributing to defining a new standard for foldable smartphones.

In addition, the product also retains the membrane that supports the stylus, showing that the company does not "trade off" in the race for thinness.
Tech reviewer Vinh Vat Vo commented: “The Honor Magic V5 is easy to fool by its appearance. It looks thin, beautiful and looks like a regular smartphone, but inside it contains a large capacity battery, providing comfortable usage time. The screen of the device has the ability to display very comfortably in the sun, comes with an excellent camera system and impressive multitasking capabilities.”
