Honor Magic V5 to come soon with huge battery increase
Honor launched the Magic V3 with a minor battery increase over its predecessor, but its successor will go even further. Honor Magic V5 (Magic V4 expected to be skipped) will have a 6,000 mAh cell, according to listings on MIIT and 3C.
The foldable battery will have two cells — one of 2,070 mAh capacity and the other 3,880 mAh, for a total of 5,950 mAh rated value. This is likely the minimal capacity, with the typical being over 6,000 mAh.
The phone, model number MBH-AN10, will support 66W wired charging, just like the previous Magic V phones.
Honor is expected to skip the "Magic V4" because of superstition around the number 4. Instead, it will go straight to Magic V5, which is something we"ve seen repeatedly from Chinese smartphone manufacturers.

The previous two iterations of the top-tier foldable were launched in July and later unveiled to global audiences at IFA Berlin. Logic suggests the same will happen this year, but we shouldn"t be surprised by an earlier release.
