Honor Magic V5 Live Photos: 8.8mm Thin, 6,100mAh Battery, and IP69 Rating
Honor is continuing its push to dominate the ultra-thin foldable market, with its upcoming Magic V5 set to break records with an astonishingly slim 8.8mm profile when closed. As the company prepares for the official unveiling on July 2, new leaks have provided a comprehensive look at the device, revealing not only its sleek design but also a massive battery and flagship-level specifications that could set a new industry benchmark. Here are some new Honor Magic V5 leaks.
Honor first broke the sub-10mm barrier in 2023 with the Magic V2 and now aims to go even thinner. The 8.8mm thickness of the Magic V5 would make it the slimmest horizontal foldable to date, even lighter than some traditional slab flagships like the iPhone 16 Pro Max, weighing in at a reported 217g.
Honor Magic V5 leaks Reveal a No-Compromise Approach
While Honor has been releasing details sparingly, reliable leaker Digital Chat Station has posted hands-on photos and a detailed spec sheet, painting a picture of a device that refuses to compromise power for its slender form.
The most impressive feat is arguably the inclusion of a massive 6,100mAh battery, a capacity that dwarfs competitors like Samsung’s rumored 4,400mAh battery in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7. The V5 will reportedly support 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.

| Thickness (Closed) | 8.8mm |
| Weight | 217g |
| Chipset | Snapdragon 8 Elite (Leading Version) |

Camera System and Durability
The camera setup is expected to be highly capable, featuring a triple-lens system with an ultra-wide and a 3x periscope telephoto lens. While early rumors pointed to a 200MP main sensor, more recent leaks suggest a trio of 50MP sensors for the main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses.
Perhaps most significantly, the Magic V5 is rumored to feature an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. If true, this would represent a major leap forward for foldable durability, far surpassing the current IP48 standard seen in many competing devices.
With its aggressive combination of a record-breaking thin design, a massive battery, and flagship performance, the Honor Magic V5 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and competitive foldable releases of the year.
