The Honor Magic V3 is scheduled to launch on July 12. Ahead of the launch event, the company just held a technology conference in the home country sharing its latest exploration and innovation results in the thin and light foldable form factor with the outside world.
At the conference, Honor officially announced that it has developed the industry’s first 10% silicon content battery, which will be used to power the upcoming Honor Magic V3.
Honor Magic V3’s battery will be 4.4% thinner than the predecessor
The company revealed that the third generation of the silicon anode battery contains more than 10% silicon, which is happening for the first time in the industry. According to the company, the energy density is 5.74% higher than the previous generation. For those unfamiliar, energy density is a measure of how much energy a battery can store in a given amount of space or mass. It is a critical parameter in determining the performance of batteries, particularly in applications where size and weight are important.
So, in this case, the increase in energy density means the battery of a given capacity will occupy relatively less internal volume. So Honor has been able to make the phone even thinner without sacrificing the battery capacity. Reportedly, the battery is 4.4% thinner than the predecessor.
In addition to the high-density battery, Honor has also built the Honor E1 chip that optimizes power management. The chip reportedly maximizes energy efficiency to improve the battery life.
According to previous leaks and rumors, the Honor Magic V3 adopts a plain leather body. The camera module has also undergone tremendous changes. The phone is said to become both more capable and thinner than the Honor Magic V2, which was launched in July last year. For context, the Magic V2 is measured 9.9mm and 4.7mm thin while closed and opened respectively. The predecessor packs a 50MP main, 20MP 2.5x telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide on the back and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The second-generation silicon anode battery on this phone has a capacity of 5000mAh which supports 66W fast charging.
The upcoming device will likely feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and pack the same 5000 mAh battery capacity inside.
