Hi,
From the photos this radio looks like a Quansheng UV-K5 which is sold under many brands.
You can test to download from the radio by selecting the Quansheng UV-K5 model in CHIRP.
If there are no errors and the data displayed is correct in CHIRP, it is likely working.
To confirm, you can check the value of the "Settings / Driver information / Firmware version" field (the value appears when you have just downloaded from the radio, not when you reopen a saved .img file). If the value is something like k5_v2.01.XX then it is a renamed UV-K5.

As it turned out the radio "Powerful UV-S5" is one of clones of the radio "Quansheng UV-K5"

Product page list this radio as 8W power output and 2800 MAh battery capacity but these specifications are not the same as the original UV-K5 and the battery seems not larger than the one of the UV-K5.
To check if it is a mistake, you can you take a picture of the 2 stickers under the battery, the one sticked on the battery will gave us the capacity (UV-K5: 1600mAh) and the one sticked on the radio will gave us the output power (UV-K5: 5W).
If the values does not match the UV-K5, this radio could be an upgrade and the full compatibility with UV-K5 will be less obvious...
All other known clones share the UV-K5 specs apart the Baofeng UV-5R Plus that has a better battery capacity but the battery has bigger size
