Honor Magic V5 could have a bigger battery than Z Fold 7
The yet-to-be-announced Honor Magic V5 is rumored to come with a bigger than that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Per a report from GSMArena, the size of the battery within Honor's upcoming foldable phone is expected to be close to 6,000mAh. That's because it will house two battery cells of varying sizes. One of those battery cells will be 3,880mAh, while the other is said to be 2,070mAh. Combining the two batteries together brings the Honor Magic V5's battery size to 5,950mAh.

That's 800mAh bigger than the battery inside the Honor Magic V3, which was 5,150mAh. At that size, the Magic V3 supported 66W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging — all while maintaining its title as the world's thinnest foldable smartphone. The Magic V5 will also support 66W wired charging, but its wireless charging and reverse wireless charging specs have yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, the Z Fold 7 is said to have a 4,400mAh battery, which is the same capacity as the Z Fold 6. If the size of the Z Fold 7's battery does remain the same, it would be plausible to assume that its charging power will be the same — 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5 reverse wireless charging. However, we won't know the Z Fold 7's true battery specs until Samsung officially announces the device.
You're probably wondering, 'Where's the Magic V4?' We reported on rumors surrounding it back in February, but reports revealed that Honor will skip it in favor of the Magic V5. This is because Chinese phone manufacturers associate the number four with bad luck, and the Mandarin word for four veers close to the word for 'death,' resulting in tetraphobia. This is exactly why Oppo released the Oppo Find N5 after the Oppo Find N3.

China launches Tianwen-2 space probe to collect samples from asteroid near Mars
China has launched a space probe that will travel to an asteroid near Mars to collect samples and find potential "groundbreaking" results. The Tianwen-2 probe launched Thursday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province aboard the workhorse Long March 3-B rocket, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA). The target of the Tianwen-2 will be different from its predecessor, the Tianwen-1, which launched a year ago and landed on Mars. Tianwen-2 will be aiming for the asteroid 2016 HO3, which is also known as 469219 Kamoʻoalewa, to bring back samples. The proposed 10-year plan would involve more than just this space mission as China continues to look to expand into space. Zhang Rongqiao, chief designer of the Tianwen-1, told China Central Television he plans to implement the "Tianwen-3" Mars sampling return mission in 2028, while the "Tianwen-4" will head toward Jupiter. According to The Associated Press, the asteroids, chosen for their relatively stable orbits, will hopefully offer clues about the formation of Earth, such as the origins of water. Samples from 2016HO3 are due to be returned in about two years. Even if the CNSA is going to distribute these samples to international partners like they have on previous missions, NASA wouldn't be able to receive any samples. A law passed in 2011, known as the Wolf Amendment, restricts NASA from having any cooperation with the CNSA. China also operates the three-person Tiangong, or "Heavenly Palace," space station. This gives China a step in the right direction to become a major force in the exploration of space. Its permanent station was created after being excluded from the International Space Station over U.S. national security concerns. The Associated Press contributed to this story

China's latest spacecraft aims to bring 'groundbreaking' samples back from asteroid near Mars
China launched a spacecraft that promises to return samples from an asteroid near Mars and yield "groundbreaking discoveries and expand humanity's knowledge of the cosmos," the country's space agency said. The Tianwen-2 probe launched early on Thursday from southern China aboard the workhorse Long March 3-B rocket. The probe will collect samples from the asteroid 2016HO3 and explore the main-belt comet 311P, which lies even farther from Earth than Mars, according to the China National Space Administration. Related Stunning new images from James Webb Telescope help unlock mysteries of Jupiter's glowing auroras Shan Zhongde, head of the CNSA, was quoted as saying the Tianwen-2 mission represents a "significant step in China's new journey of interplanetary exploration" and over its decade-long mission will "yield groundbreaking discoveries and expand humanity's knowledge of the cosmos". Samples from 2016HO3 are due to be returned in about two years. The asteroids, chosen for their relatively stable orbits, hopefully will offer clues into the formation of Earth, such as the origins of water. China earlier returned rock samples from the moon's far side back to Earth in a historic mission and has welcomed international cooperation. However, any cooperation with the US hinges on removing an American law banning direct bilateral cooperation with NASA.

The far side is also known to have mountains and impact craters, and is much more difficult to reach. China also operates the three person-crewed Tiangong - or "Heavenly Palace" - space station, making the country a major player in a new era of space exploration and the use of permanent stations to conduct experiments in space, especially since the station was entirely Chinese-built after the country was excluded from the International Space Station over US national security concerns. China's space programme is controlled by the People's Liberation Army, the military branch of the ruling Communist Party.

The country's space programme has grown rapidly in the more than 20 years since it first put a man in space, only the third country to do so under its own speed. The space agency has landed an unmanned explorer on Mars and a rover on the far side of the Moon. It aims to put a person on the moon before 2030. A future Tianwen-4 Jupiter mission will explore Jupiter, although details haven't been released.

John Hoke, Nike's Chief Innovation Officer, to Exit the Company
Another long-time Nike executive will be exiting the company. John Hoke, the company's chief innovation officer and a 30-plus year Nike veteran, will be retiring. More from WWD Nike Is Bringing Its Wavy Patta Air Max Collaboration to a New Sneaker Charles Barkley's Most Popular Sneaker Is Getting a Nike SB Upgrade Nike and Lego Are Launching Studded Sneakers, Sneaker Block Sets and a Legoland Space The handwriting was on the wall, however. Hoke's departure follows a move made earlier this month promoting Phil McCartney to chief innovation, design and product officer. At the same time, Heidi O'Neill, president of consumer, product and brand — who had been with the company for 26 years — also revealed her retirement. Amy Montagne, a 20-year Nike employee, was promoted to president of the Nike brand. The moves are part of new Nike chief executive officer Elliott Hill's 'Win Now' action plan first unveiled last December. In the company's third-quarter earnings call in March, Hill, who was lured out of retirement to rejoin the company in the top post in October, was vocal about how Nike needs to be more innovative and also reduce the amount of product available in the market. During the call, he said Nike's new priorities will be centered around five fields of play: running, basketball, football, training and sportswear; three countries: the U.S., China and the U.K., and five cities: New York, Los Angeles, London, Beijing and Shanghai. While that work is going on internally, the company revealed last week that it plans to return to Amazon after a six-year hiatus and raise prices from $2 to $10 on apparel and $5 on footwear in response to tariffs. The return to Amazon is a sharp contrast to former CEO John Donahoe's strategy to cut wholesale distribution and focus on its own stores and digital channels. In addition to Amazon, Nike is returning to DSW, Macy's, Foot Locker, Urban Outfitters, Zappos, Belk and others. As Hill said in December: 'Wholesale….provides a very strong footprint, both physical as well as digital.' These major moves are an answer to criticism that Nike had lost its edge as competitors such as Hoka and On made inroads, particularly in the footwear space. While the company is making some progress, there's still a lot of work to do. Net income in the third quarter was $794 million, down 32 percent from $1.2 billion in the year-ago period. Diluted earnings per share were 54 cents, a decrease of 30 percent from 77 cents at the same time last year. Net sales in the period were $11.3 billion, down 9 percent from $12.4 billion, on a reported basis, compared to the prior year. The company also projected at that time to expect a steeper-than-expected drop in fourth-quarter sales. A Nike spokesperson confirmed Hoke's retirement Thursday but declined further comment. Hoke grew up playing sports and running cross country, where he noticed that all the racers wore Nike waffle trainers. He went home and sketched those sneakers — Hoke has dyslexia so he used drawing as a way to navigate the world — and began to envision how they could be better. He came up with the idea of adding cushioning to the shoe, a sketch he sent to Nike cofounder and former CEO Phil Knight. Knight responded, saying it was an intriguing idea and Hoke should consider joining Nike when he got older. After getting a degree in architecture, Hoke did just that — he joined Nike in 1992. Initially, he worked on image and brand design at trade shows, global exhibits and the Nike stores and he also created the first website as well as physical and digital catalogs. Among his roles at Nike were eight years as vice president of footwear design, two years at Converse and 15 years as Nike's chief design officer. He was elevated to chief innovation officer in 2023. Hoke will remain with Nike until October to complete some projects and the company plans to announce a successor for the chief innovation officer role, according to an internal memo obtained by Bloomberg.
