Google I/Osaw the search giant announce its first foldable phone, thePixel Fold. Pixel devices have a reputation for competitive pricing, butGoogleseems to have almost forgotten that. Ata whopping £1749/$1799 the Pixel Foldis the most expensive foldable on the market. Luckily Honor has something that won’t stretch your budget as much – and you can get it from next week.
It stands up to the Pixel Fold on specs too, with a 54MP main camera compared to Google’s 48MP effort, albeit lacking the superb Pixel camera software. Under the hood, the Honor boasts a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset – whichshouldsee it compete with the Fold’s G2 Tensor setup.

Of course, the main draw of any foldable is the screen – and if bigger is better for you then the Honor is the way to go. A massive 7.9-inch internal display when fully unfolded is a little more than the Pixel’s 7.6-inch effort.
This, of course, brings with it added bulk – but the Magic V is actually only a fraction wider when folded, at 12.9mm versus the 12.1mm Pixel Fold. Both devices have managed to include a 5000mAh battery into their sleek designs, too, which is up there with thebest phoneson the market.
Using Honor’s own MagicOS, based onAndroid13, the Magic V won’t boast all of thelatest Pixel featuresjust yet. Hopefully, once Android 14 arrives, it will be competing with Google’s own device, as at a more reasonable price it’s clearly a tempting prospect for any foldable fan.
