Honor Magic V5 Launches Soon with Largest Battery in Foldables

Key Takeaways

1. Honor’s Magic V5 is set to launch this month, potentially overshadowing the Galaxy Z Fold7.
2. The Magic V5 is the successor to the Magic V3, skipping the “V4” due to cultural reasons.
3. It is rumored to feature a 6,000mAh battery, the largest for a foldable phone to date.
4. Competitors include the Tecno Phantom V Fold2, Vivo X Fold3 Pro, and OPPO Find N5, all with smaller batteries.
5. Additional features of the Magic V5 include a side-mounted fingerprint reader and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

While the Galaxy Z Fold7 from Samsung is highly anticipated this year, it seems that Honor’s Magic V5 might steal the spotlight first. It’s been said that the Honor foldable will surpass the Galaxy Z Fold7 in at least one other aspect as well.

Launch Timeline

According to Smart Pikachu, Honor is set to unveil the Magic V5 this month. For those unfamiliar, the Magic V5 is the direct successor to last year’s Magic V3, with the company choosing to skip the “V4” due to the unlucky connotations of that number in Chinese culture.

Impressive Specifications

The Honor Magic V5 is rumored to come with a battery capacity around 6,000mAh, which would make it the foldable phone with the largest battery to date. The closest competitors to this are the Tecno Phantom V Fold2 from last year with a 5,750 mAh battery, the Vivo X Fold3 Pro that has a 5,700 mAh battery, and the OPPO Find N5 released earlier this year featuring a 5,600 mAh battery. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is likely to keep its less impressive 4,400 mAh battery.

Additional Features

Besides its large battery, the Honor Magic V5 is also expected to have a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and it will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
