Honor pushes foldable limits with the Magic V6, arriving as the thinnest yet‑to‑date device. The chassis now carries both IP68 and IP69 certifications, promising dust‑tight and high‑pressure water resistance. A reinforced hinge and improved drop tolerance address durability concerns that plagued earlier models. Four colour options and a slimmer profile complete the refresh, keeping the 7.95‑inch main screen but adding anti‑reflective LTPO 2.0 AMOLED glass.

Under the hood sits Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a full 8‑core chip paired with 12 GB or 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The device offers 256 GB to 1 TB options. Camera hardware mirrors the V5: 50 MP primary, 64 MP 3× telephoto and 50 MP ultra‑wide, plus dual 20 MP front sensors. MagicOS 10 runs on Android 16, adding iOS‑style translucency and cross‑platform features.

Power comes from a 6,600 mAh cell that supports 80 W wired and 66 W wireless charging, plus reverse charging on both fronts. Honor claims up to 24 hours of use on the large display, a noticeable jump from the V5’s 5,820 mAh unit. At 219 g and 4 mm thick, the Magic V6 blends heft and elegance, delivering the most robust foldable experience available today.
