Honor has released a bold new promotional video for its freshly announced Magic V5, showcasing the foldable phone enduring some of the most extreme durability tests seen in a product launch campaign.
From Downpour to Deep Freeze
The video begins by demonstrating the Magic V5’s water resistance, simulating a scenario of forceful, pouring rain. With an IP59 rating, the phone handles the high-pressure water jets with ease, highlighting its strong sealing and weatherproofing.
Next, the Magic V5 is frozen solid, only to be thawed and immediately subjected to extreme heat. These temperature tests showcase the device’s thermal resilience—a rare claim for foldables that are typically more fragile due to their hinges and layered displays.
Steel Balls and Impact Resistance
In the most eye-catching segment of the video, steel balls are fired at the Magic V5 to demonstrate impact resistance. Despite the high-velocity hits, the phone emerges unscathed, a testament to Honor’s engineering around hinge durability, glass quality, and chassis reinforcement.
This suggests the Magic V5 may be one of the toughest foldable smartphones yet released.
