The phone will feature a massive 6100mAh silicon-carbon battery. This new “Qinghai Lake” blade battery uses a high-silicon anode with 25% silicon content, which Honor claims is a first in mass production.
Honor says this is the largest battery ever in a foldable phone, beating rivals like the Oppo Find N5 (5600mAh) and even the upcoming Vivo X Fold 5 (6000mAh). The Magic V5 will also feature an AI Dujiangyan power management system, a proprietary tech that, according to Honor, delivers the “longest battery life” in a foldable, though real-world tests are still pending.
Early Honor Magic V5 Unboxing
Meanwhile, an early unboxing video of the Magic V5 has surfaced on the YouTube channel Techtacle.
Inside the box, you get a 66W charger, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and a lightweight 29g protective case. The case wraps around the back and hinge, includes a camera ring that acts as a kickstand and leaves the 6.45-inch curved LTPO OLED cover display uncovered.
Design-wise, the V5 makes a statement with a red faux leather back, a gold-accented camera module, and a 3D-textured gold hinge. It folds down to 8.8mm (down from 9.2mm on the Magic V3) and measures just 4.1mm when unfolded.
Although Honor says it weighs 217g, the unboxing video shows 224g, possibly due to the pre-applied screen protector. The hinge is firm and clicks at 70° and 90°, ideal for flexible viewing.
