Honor launched the Magic V6 foldable phone ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The device measures 4mm thick when unfolded and 8.75mm thick when folded, making it slightly thinner than the previous Magic V5 model. It features a 6,600 mAh battery, an upgrade from the 5,820 mAh battery in the previous version.
The launch reinforces the manufacturer’s focus on slim foldable designs and improved battery performance within the competitive smartphone sector. The device supports 80W wired charging and 66W wireless charging. Honor also demonstrated new Silicon-carbon battery technology that could enable foldable batteries over 7,000 mAh in the future.
The Magic V6 utilizes a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The phone features a 7.95-inch main AMOLED display and a 6.52-inch cover display, both utilizing LTPO 2.0 technology for a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate. The external screen includes an anti-reflective coating with a reflectivity rating of 1.5%.
Honor introduced a “Super Steel Hinge” with a tensile strength of 2,800 MPa. The company stated this component reduces the display crease depth by 44%. The triple rear camera setup includes a 50MP main camera, a 64MP telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. There are dual 20MP front cameras.
The device offers compatibility with Apple devices, including two-way notification sync with iPhones and the ability to display notifications on Apple Watches.
