Tech brand Honor has officially landed in Australia. And, they didn’t just slip in quietly. They arrived with what is currently recognised as the world’s thinnest inward-folding smartphone. * Plus four more sleek new gadgets that are ready to upgrade your everyday life, one swipe, tap and clip at a time.
With a USD 10 billion investment planned over the next five years, Honor has their sights set on transforming from a smartphone brand into a full AI-powered ecosystem. Translation? Your devices won’t just be smart. They’ll be stylish, seamlessly connected and actually helpful.
Here’s what’s new, what’s exciting and why you might be about to question your loyalty to your current tech set-up.
Honor Magic V5 – The featherlight foldable that fits in your pocket (and lifestyle)
Foldable phones are no longer chunky space hogs, and the Honor Magic V5 is proof. At just 8.8mm when folded, it’s officially the world’s thinnest inward-folding smartphone. Thin enough to slip into your clutch, workout shorts or tailored trousers without creating a tech-shaped bump, it holds the Guinness World Record for the heaviest weight lifted by a suspended foldable smartphone (104 kg).
Unfold it and it transforms into a 7.95-inch inner display – perfect for Netflix between meetings or sketching fresh ideas in your downtime. The 6.43-inch outer screen also supports stylus use, so handwritten notes and side-hustle planning can happen on the go.
Powered by a 5,820mAh silicon-carbon battery, this isn’t a “handle with care” beauty. It’s designed for real life. The triple camera system (64MP telephoto, 50MP main and 50MP ultra-wide) uses AI features like Motion Sensing Capture and Enhanced Portrait, meaning even your candid coffee shots can look editorial.
MagicOS 10 comes with Google Gemini built in, offering writing support, learning assistance and even live screen-sharing guidance. Think of it as a phone that’s chic—but also secretly very, very clever.
Honor 400 Pro 5G – Creativity without the editing hangover
The Honor 400 Pro is for the person who takes photos more than they edit them. Thanks to on-device AI, it can turn a series of snaps into a share-ready video clip instantly – no apps, no fiddling, no YouTube tutorials required.
Features like AI Eraser (bye, background clutter), AI Outpainting (extend image edges seamlessly) and Moving Photo Collage make it ideal for documenting life without overthinking it. The silicon-carbon battery delivers hours of power, even under heavy use, and still retains over 80% health after four years.
With 512GB storage, it’s basically a digital scrapbook waiting to happen.
Honor Pad 10 – Bigger screen, lighter life
If your laptop feels like a brick and your phone isn’t quite enough, the Honor Pad 10 strikes the balance beautifully. At just 6.3mm thick and 525g, it’s thinner than a magazine and lighter than some hardbacks – yet packs a 12.1-inch display and 10,100mAh battery.
Ideal for remote work, travel, binge-watching and digital journalling, it’s the device you didn’t know you needed until now. Equal parts productivity partner and streaming companion.
Honor Watch 4 – Stylish health accountability
Designed for those who like their tech to look as good as it performs, the Honor Watch 4 features a sleek aluminium frame and 1.75-inch AMOLED display. It tracks everything from heart rate and sleep quality to stress and “Fitness Age” (brutal, but motivating).
It offers up to 14 days of battery life and even allows Bluetooth calls via your wrist. Think of it as a wellness coach that doubles as an accessory.
Honor Choice Earbuds Clip – Audio that doesn’t shut out the world
Finally, something for multitaskers. The Honor ChoiceEarbuds Clip are open-ear wireless buds that weigh only 5.1g each and don’t block your ear canal. Perfect for running, riding or walking home while staying aware of your surroundings.
With up to 36 hours total playtime, dual-device connectivity and AI noise reduction for calls, they’re as practical as they are minimal. More design statement than tech add-on.
Could you really replace your iPhone?
With more than 250 million active devices globally and big plans for Australia (including a strong focus on local retail partnerships and customer support), Honor isn’t treating this as a stopover launch. It’s a long-term move.
Whether you’re a content creator, wellness enthusiast, frequent flyer or simply someone who appreciates gear that works as beautifully as it looks, there’s something in this lineup for you.
Curious if a foldable could actually replace your phone? Wondering whether open-ear buds feel weird or like you’ve unlocked a life hack? Or maybe you’re just here for the aesthetic upgrade.
Either way – Honor has arrived, and they’re not just flexing tech. They’re making it aspirational. And, truly what an Honor it is to meet them!
