TL;DR HONOR’s Magic V6 is now rolling out globally, and at just 8.75mm folded and 4.0mm unfolded, it’s the slimmest foldable on the market.
HONOR claims the Magic V6 houses the largest battery ever fitted inside a foldable smartphone, with a massive 6,660mAh silicon-carbon cell.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powers the device, while HONOR says its Vulkan graphics system enables smooth 120fps gaming on the large foldable display.
In the past, foldable phones sought to become thinner, lighter, and more durable without sacrificing battery life. The problem is that improving one area usually means sacrificing something else. HONOR believes it has found a way around that tradeoff with the new Magic V6, and the phone is beginning to roll out globally.
Announced for the Chinese market earlier this year, the HONOR Magic V6 arrives as the company’s latest flagship foldable and comes with an ultra-slim design, surprisingly large battery, flagship-grade durability, and deeper integration with Apple’s ecosystem.
The first thing that strikes the eye is the hardware. The white model weighs about 219g and is only 8.75mm thick when folded and 4.0mm when unfolded. This is closer to the feel of traditional smartphones than the bulky foldables that ruled the category just a few years ago.
Making a foldable thin is one thing. Making it durable is another. To tackle long-standing concerns around foldable reliability, HONOR has built the Magic V6 around its new Super Steel Hinge, which the company says offers a tensile strength of 2,800MPa. An AI-assisted bionic cushioning system complements the hinge, helping to absorb impacts and distribute force better during drops and daily use.
