Seemingly, Honor will not be far behind with the global version of the Magic V5. To that end, the global model has now surfaced on Geekbench across several listings. As always, Geekbench refers to the device by its model number, MBH-N49 in this case. Nonetheless, MBH-N49 has been associated with the Magic V5 in other leaks.
Based on these listings, the global Magic V5 will launch with the regular 8-core version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite rather than the more powerful Leading Version option offered in smartphones like the RedMagic 10S Pro. Incidentally, the Chinese Magic V5 also ships with the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite despite pre-rumours suggesting it would feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version instead.
Regardless, the global Magic V5 appears to outperform the Oppo Find N5 even at this early stage. For context, the Find N5 averaged 2,888 and 8,243 in Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core benchmarks during our tests. By contrast, Geekbench indicates that the global Magic V5 will enjoy between 4% and 7% performance advantages over the Magic V5. While Honor has not confirmed when its latest foldable will be available outside China yet, we suspect it will do so next week, given the arrival of the Galaxy Z Fold7 on July 9.
