The Honor X70 to have a massive 8,300mAh battery with 80W charging
Late last year, Honor teased a massive 6,600mAh battery for the X60. As impressive as that was, the upcoming Honor X70 will have a battery that dwarfs this capacity – battery tech is improving at a spectacular pace! Live photos of the X70 have been shared by leakster Experience More, including one that shows the About screen. It shows a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset with 12GB of RAM and 256GB storage with MagicOS 9 out of the box. The display has 1,200 x 2,640px resolution and was previously reported as a 6.79' OLED. The battery capacity is jaw-dropping at 8,300mAh. Honor is still using the 'Qinghai Lake' branding. Per the previous leak, the X70 will support 80W wired charging. Another leakster, Panda is very bald, claims that wireless charging will be available only on the version with 512GB storage and will work at 80W. Honor X70 hands-on photos The other image shows the back of the Honor X70 (model number MTN-AN00). The phone reportedly measures only 7.7mm – quite an engineering feat given the battery size – and weighs 193g. Note that the version with wireless charging has a bit of extra bulk at 7.9mm thick and 199g weight. The circular camera island is home to a 50MP camera with OIS, while the selfie camera is said to have an 8MP sensor. The white model is pictured here, but the phone will also be available in blue, black and red. The Honor X70i launched back in April, however, the X70 launch time frame is still to be announced. The X60 series also featured Pro and GT models, but we haven't heard anything about similar models in the X70 series. Not yet, anyway. Source 1 | Source 2 (in Chinese) | Via

Honor Magic V5 is official: it's the world's thinnest foldable (again), but only in this special color
The Honor Magic V5 is here – that's the successor to the incredibly cool and potent Magic V3 (yes, in China, the number four is often avoided at all costs due to cultural concerns) – and we once again have a champion at our the thinnest foldable on planet Earth, its creators say, but only if you get it in a special white color that slims down its profile. Other colors add to its profile, thus depriving the Honor Magic V5 of its "thinnest foldable" crown – in other words, the spell is broken if you get in black. Pretty fascinating, right? The magical white color variant. | Image by Honor Tech enthusiasts left and right are busy obsessing with the upcoming foldable fiesta from Samsung on July 9, but that's a week away. Today, we have another foldable bijou to marvel at – and it could be very well the case that many won't bother to watch (or attend) the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9. Yes, the Magic V5 looks that promising. Of course, we'll be doing our in-depth, in-house research and tell you all about this device, but until then, let's check out what this premium gadget is all about. Keep in mind that the China-exclusive Magic V5 model was unveiled today. The global variant will be announced at a point in the near future and we'll let you know once it happens. Battery : 6,100mAh Qinghai Lake Blade battery with over 25% silicon content : 6,100mAh Qinghai Lake Blade battery with over 25% silicon content Body : 8.8mm thin when folded (depending on color), 217–222g in weight (depending on color) : 8.8mm thin when folded (depending on color), 217–222g in weight (depending on color) Display : Dual screens with 120Hz refresh rate and 4320Hz PWM dimming : Dual screens with 120Hz refresh rate and 4320Hz PWM dimming AI Features : YOYO intelligent assistant, motion sickness relief tech, and AI power management : YOYO intelligent assistant, motion sickness relief tech, and AI power management Build : Shield steel hinge, IP58/IP59 water and dust resistance, self-healing composite materials That's not just Honor's latest ultra-thin foldable – that's a flagship if I ever saw one. I haven't laid a finger on it yet, but it looks like the V5 will compete in the high-end foldable smartphone segment white color option seems like a pretty special finish – thanks to it, the phone slims down to an 8.8mm-thin body (folded) and weighs as little as 217 grams. Other color options are listed to render the phone to over 9mm (when folded). 8.8mm is great, and it's just 0.1mm thinner than the Oppo Find N5, a.k.a. "The foldable king" which arrived some months ago at 8.9mm in its folded state. This year's Galaxy Z Fold 7 by Samsung will also be super thin (judging from rumors), but thickness doesn't tell the whole story. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 might have shockingly low ~4,400mAh (or less) battery inside. Meanwhile, the V5 is miles ahead. Image by Honor One of the standout features of Magic V5 is its 6,100mAh Qinghai Lake Blade battery. This battery uses advanced silicon-carbon composite materials with more than 25% silicon content, allowing for a higher energy density without compromising the device's thinness. This means users can expect full-day performance, even with the larger screen unfolded. On the display front , both the inner and outer screens support a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and ultra-high-frequency 4320Hz PWM dimming, which significantly reduces screen flicker and eye strain. The display also supports a wide DCI-P3 color gamut for vibrant visuals. In terms of software intelligence , the Magic V5 is equipped with several AI-powered features. These include an AI motion sickness reduction mode, which combines display adjustments and motion effects to alleviate discomfort for sensitive users. It also features Honor's YOYO assistant, which boasts enhanced memory, logic processing, and cross-device capabilities – helping users with tasks such as multitasking, file sharing, and even coordinating services across different platforms. Image by Honor The hardware includes Honor's proprietary AI Dujiangyan power management system. It uses a dedicated chipset voltage regulation chip and a self-developed E2 energy efficiency chip, enabling extended performance even under heavy use. Durability is also a major focus. The phone incorporates Honor's Luban shock-absorbing structure with precision manufacturing, steel hinges for high-frequency folding, and IP58/IP59 protection against dust and water. These make the Magic V5 not just stylish, but durable – and personally, I like "durable" very much, when it comes to foldables. So, the world is once again toying with the world's thinnest foldable. Only if it's in white, that is. And only, of course, if we leave the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design out of the equation. This tri-fold is 3.6mm when unfolded. Yes, the foldable tech world is amazing.
