Honor Magic V5 will get a 6000 mAh battery – an all-time record among foldable smartphones

New technical details about the Honor Magic V5 have leaked online, and if they’re confirmed, we’re in for the toughest foldable smartphone on the market. According to documents from a Chinese regulator, the upcoming new product will get a 6,000 mAh battery
A revolution in foldable device autonomy
So far, even the competitors’ top-of-the-line models are inferior in this parameter:
- Vivo X Fold3 Pro – 5700 mAh
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 – 4400 mAh
With an active load, these batteries barely last into the evening. Honor is banking on battery life to be one of the Magic V5’s key advantages.

What is already known from the certification
- 2070 mAh + 3880 mAh
- Nominal capacity – 5950 mAh
- Specified typical capacity – 6000 mAh
It’s also confirmed Support for 66W fast charging -it’s unchanged from past generations, and it’s a sensible solution for balancing speed and heat.

When to expect the announcement?
Honor, like many Chinese brands, will skip the «four» in the name (by traditional superstition) and go straight from Magic V3 to Magic V5. The launch is expected to:
- in July – in China
- in September – at IFA in Europe
Compared to Magic V3: a step forward on all fronts
Remember, Magic V3 had a 5150mAh battery and was only 9.2mm thick when folded. At the time, it received praise for convenient form factor and excellent battery life. If Honor keeps the slim body while increasing the battery by nearly 20 percent, Magic V5 could be a real breakthrough in the foldable smartphone category.
The use of dual cells isn’t just marketing: it allows for better weight distribution, faster charging, and lower heat load. Even with a larger battery, the Magic V5’s charging time will likely stay at 45 minutes from 0 to 100% -just like its predecessor.
