So let’s have a look at this battle of the flip phones. The Magic V Flip is Honor’s first attempt at a clamshell folding design, but despite that, it offers a notable advantage in screen space.

Both its primary and cover screen are taller than the one offered on the Galaxy Z Flip 5. The Chinese brand’s Magic V Flip has a tall 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display that offers an FHD+ Resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, a 21:9 aspect ratio, HDR, 3000 nits of peak brightness, and Dolby Vision.

Meanwhile, its external panel is a 4-inch LTPO OLED panel with 1200 x 1092 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR, Dolby Vision, and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a 6.7-inch Dynamic 2X AMOLED main display with HDR10+, 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and 1,750 nits of peak brightness.

Its cover panel is a smaller 3.4-inch Super AMOLED that has a 720 x 748 resolution. This means that the Honor device has a brighter display, and its cover screen is more practical thanks to its larger size.

The South Korean swings back in round 2 with an edge on performance. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is a flagship grade processor from last year. Meanwhile, the Honor Magic V Flip unfortunately comes with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which drop.
