Mobile World Congress Shanghai, running June 24‑26, crowned two foldables with top honors. Honor Magic V6 scooped Best Smartphone and Disruptive Device Innovation, while vivo X Fold6 took Best In Show – Product. Both devices belong to the book‑style foldable segment that has become a showcase for premium hardware.

The awards, rebranded as GLOMO Awards Asia after nearly two decades of the Asia Mobile Awards, aim to spotlight innovation across the region. Honor introduced its V6 in March, positioning it as a flagship with a hinge design and high‑refresh display. Vivo unveiled the X Fold6 today, promising improved durability and a more refined unfolding experience.

Recognition at MWC gives both manufacturers marketing firepower ahead of the summer buying cycle. Consumers hunting high‑end foldables now see the Magic V6 and X Fold6 validated by industry judges, which could translate into stronger shelf presence in Asian markets. The awards reinforce the shift toward book‑style devices as the premium standard for multitasking phones.

Analysts note that award wins often boost OEM confidence and can accelerate carrier contracts. With Honor pushing a March launch and Vivo announcing the X Fold6 on the spot, both firms are poised to capitalize on the momentum generated at Shanghai. The accolades underscore how quickly foldable technology has moved from niche to mainstream.
