Honor Magic V6 Hinge Survives Extreme Pull-Up Test

Honor is pushing the limits of its Magic V6 foldable with another extreme durability test. This time, a company manager performed pull-ups using the phone's hinge as support, with the device's sides anchored to the ceiling. The stunt follows an earlier test where Joe Weller ziplined while holding the phone.

The Magic V6 hinge uses special 2800MPa steel, which Honor claims is twice as expensive as titanium alloy. This high-strength material provides structural stability and impact resistance far beyond normal usage scenarios. While hanging from the hinge isn't the weakest orientation, it subjects the mechanism to far more strain than typical folding and unfolding during daily use.

These publicity stunts showcase Honor's confidence in the Magic V6's engineering, though they're clearly designed for dramatic effect rather than practical testing. The company unveiled the foldable earlier this month but hasn't revealed pricing or availability details. Such extreme demonstrations aim to differentiate Honor's foldables in a competitive market where hinge durability remains a key concern for consumers.
