Honor Magic V5: The impending Honor Magic V5, which is expected to be announced before the end of June, has surfaced on China’s 3C certification website. This listing not only indicates that a launch is around the corner but also provides one of the phone’s major improvements, faster charging.
Faster Charging Than Before
Two model numbers, MTN-AN00 and MTN-AN80, are linked to the device according to information accessed via certification. Both of them offer 80W wired fast charging, a significant jump from the 66W of Honor Magic V3. This corroborates previous rumors that Honor is upgrading its hardware game in the foldable department.
Bigger Battery, Better Efficiency
The Magic V3 had a 5,150mAh silicon-carbon battery installed, and that was impressive already. But the Magic V5 will supposedly come with an even bigger 6,100mAh battery. The increase has been made possible, according to reports, with advancements in battery technology and improved internal design. Coupled with an improved processor, users can look forward to longer battery life and quicker power top-ups.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Confirmed through Geekbench
Latest Geekbench scores have already confirmed that the Magic V5 will be loaded with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This is an improvement over the Magic V3, which had a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. With single-core scores over 3,000 and multi-core over 9,000, the Magic V5 is turning out to be a genuine performance monster in the foldable category.
Going Head to Head With Galaxy Z Fold7 on the Battery Side
One of the more intriguing comparisons made is with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, which hasn’t been released yet but is due to carry over its predecessor’s 4,400mAh battery. If the Magic V5 does feature a 6,100mAh cell, this would be a much bigger, long-lasting phone than Samsung’s foldable.
Slimmest Foldable Title up for Grabs
Dimensions are also a tale of interest. Magic V3 was 4.35mm open and 9.2mm folded. Rumor is that the Magic V5 will be less than 9mm folded, thinner than Oppo Find N5’s 8.9mm, which is the thinnest book-style foldable available today. Should it be true, Honor could get back the crown for the thinnest foldable phone.
Conclusion: A Strong Upgrade Incoming
From quicker charging and a bigger battery to a beefier chipset and reduced design, the Honor Magic V5 appears to be a significant improvement upon the original. As the foldable sector heats up in 2025, this might be one of Honor’s best yet.
