Potential upgrade to Honor's forthcoming foldable phone may include a substantial boost in battery capacity.
The Honor Magic V5, Honor's upcoming foldable smartphone, is rumored to boast a robust 6,000mAh battery, marking a significant increase from its predecessor. According to leaked reports, the battery consists of two cells—one with a capacity of 2,070mAh and another with 3,880mAh.
The potential battery enhancement could position the Magic V5 as a long-lasting device, although it remains unclear if Honor will continue to prioritize slimness with this model, given the impressive 9.2mm thickness of the Magic V3 when folded.
Furthermore, Honor seems to be sticking with a 66W charging speed for its next-generation foldable phone, similar to the charging speed offered by the Magic V3. The exact name of the phone has yet to be decided, with both the Magic V4 and Magic V5 possibilities under consideration.
It's worth noting that the Magic V5 is expected to drop this July, following the release pattern of its predecessors. The global debut of the Honor Magic V3 took place at IFA Berlin, and it's likely that Honor will maintain this strategy for the upcoming model as well.
In terms of charging, while theMagic V5 may see an upgrade in battery capacity, users might not benefit from faster charging speeds—at least based on the available information. The Magic V5 is anticipated to retain the 66W charging speed employed by its predecessor.
Regarding wireless charging, although the exact speed is not specified, it's worth mentioning that the V3 model offered 50W wireless charging, which could potentially be carried over to the V5.

The Honor Magic V5, set to launch in July, might offer improved battery life with its unique two-cell battery setup, potentially making it a compelling choice for users seeking long-lasting smartphones. Interestingly, it's speculated that the Magic V5 may preserve the 66W charging speed from its predecessor, despite a possible increase in battery capacity.
