Qualcomm's best chipset confirmed to power 'the thinnest and lightest foldable'
Although there's no way to confirm this year, Honor claims that its upcoming Magic V5 smartphone will be the thinnest and lightest foldable on the market. We also don't know how long that will last since Samsung is also launching its new top-tier foldables – Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, next we do know is that Honor's flagship foldable will be equipped with Qualcomm's most powerful chipset to date, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version. This has been confirmed by a listing on benchmark aggregator Geekbench, so it's unlikely that it's not going to happen. In comparison with the 'vanilla' Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Leading Version features two prime cores that run at 4.47GHz instead of 4.32GHz. It's a slight performance boost that phones equipped with this specific chipset (i.e Samsung Galaxy S25 series, RedMagic 10S Pro+, Honor GT Pro), are getting over anything else available on the market. The phone is listed on Geekbench with model number MHG-AN00, which is the same that the Honor Magic V5 made appearance on CMIIT's certification website. Speaking of certification, the Magic V5 is expected to pack a massive 6,100 mAh battery, at least according to CMIIT.

Previous reports also claim Honor's upcoming flagship could boast a huge 8-inch folding screen, as well as a massive 200-megapixel periscope strives to achieves multiple 'world firsts' with the Magic V5. The flagship is not only expected to be the thinnest and lightest on the market, but it will also pack the biggest battery used in a foldable. In order to achieve that, the Magic V5 must be thinner than 8.93 because this is how thick the Oppo Find N5 is when closed. The 6,100 mAh battery that's been certified by CMIIT puts the Magic V5 slightly ahead when it comes to size. There's another impressive flagship foldable coming soon which is expected to feature a 6,000 mAh battery, the Vivo X Fold 5. Honor Magic V5 is rumored to arrive sometime this month, but it's unclear if the global launch will coincide with the Chinese release.

Honor Magic V5 battery capacity could increase 20%
Honor is expected to launch Magic V5 soon, and the device was already certified at CMIIT. The phone with model number MHB-AN10 has a minimal 5,950 mAh battery capacity, which, according to tipsters, translates to a typical 6,100 mAh battery capacity. If this is really the case, the Magic V5 will get an almost 20% bigger battery than its predecessor, which was already extremely thin and powerful. The rumor comes from a post about the vivo X Fold5, which is rumored to sport a 6,000 mAh dual-cell. The leakster, who is usually on point with such rumors, replied in comments that the Magic V5 will have a 100 mAh bigger battery than the vivo's. The increased battery is not a surprise, as many smartphone companies in China follow the trend of Si/Ca cells, which provide more power in less volume. We also heard that the device will be under 9 mm thin, when folded; another improvement over the Magic V3, which was 9.2 mm. Honor Magic V3 We are still waiting for anything official from Honor, so for now, anything on the Magic V5 is treated as a wishful rumor. Source (in Chinese) | Via
