Honor is gearing up to launch its next-generation foldable smartphone, the Honor Magic V5, and the latest leaks suggest a significant upgrade, particularly in battery capacity. Recently certified by CMIIT with model number MHB-AN10, the device is rumoured to pack a massive 6,100 mAh battery, making it one of the largest in the foldable segment.
Honor Magic V5 Battery: 6,100 mAh Capacity Rumored
According to industry tipsters, the Honor Magic V5 will come with a minimum rated capacity of 5,950 mAh, which typically translates to a 6,100 mAh typical battery. This marks an approximate 20% increase over the Magic V3, which already had one of the largest batteries among foldable smartphones.
Si/C Battery Technology Makes It Possible
The dramatic improvement in battery capacity is likely enabled by the use of Silicon-Carbon (Si/C) battery cells, a growing trend in Chinese smartphones. Si/C batteries deliver higher energy density, allowing manufacturers to increase battery capacity without increasing physical size.
Sleeker Design: Under 9mm Folded Thickness
Despite the larger battery, the Honor Magic V5 is expected to be thinner than its predecessor. Leaks suggest the new model will be under 9 mm thick when folded, a noticeable improvement over the 9.2 mm thickness of the Magic V3.
This makes the Magic V5 not just powerful but also more portable and ergonomic, combining performance with aesthetics, a hallmark of modern foldables.
Honor Magic V5 Launch: What We Know So Far
- CMIIT Certified (Model MHB-AN10)
- 6,100 mAh Typical Battery Capacity
- 20% Battery Boost Over Magic V3
- Thinner Design (<9 mm Folded)
- Beats vivo X Fold5 by 100 mAh
While an official launch date hasn’t been confirmed, the CMIIT certification signals that the launch could be right around the corner.
A Serious Contender in the Foldable Market
If the leaks are accurate, the Honor Magic V5 will lead the foldable race with an unmatched battery and slimmer form factor. With competitors like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series, Xiaomi Mix Fold, and vivo X Fold5, Honor seems poised to raise the bar once again in the foldable smartphone market
