8.75mm, 219g: Foldables can be thinner and lighter than flagship bar phones, too.
In the video unboxing, the HONOR Magic V6 box includes a protective case, an 80W fast charger, and a charging cable. The Snowfield White version features an aerospace-grade fiber back cover and a silver unibody aluminum alloy frame, with a folded thickness as thin as 8.75mm and a weight as light as 219g; the Danxia Red version uses a red eco-friendly leather back cover and an octagonal camera module with luxury watch styling, making it highly recognizable.
The cover screen is a 6.52-inch LTPO panel, supporting a 1–120Hz dynamic refresh rate and up to 6000 nits peak brightness; when unfolded, there is a 7.95-inch LTPO OLED inner screen. Both screens feature a low-reflection design, and the inner screen lets you customize frequently used multitasking layouts, making it suitable for checking email while browsing the web or handling multiple apps at once.
Stainless steel hinge with IP68 and IP69 protection.
HONOR Magic V6 uses a Luban Shield Steel hinge, officially rated to withstand 500,000 folds and certified by SGS for folding durability and five-star drop and impact resistance. The body has also passed IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance tests, addressing the needs of the folding structure, everyday accidental impacts, and water resistance. The video actually shows the inner screen crease, which is not obvious at normal viewing angles.
Triple-Lens Camera and Tokyo Game Show Hands-On Photos
The camera setup includes a 50MP main lens, a 50MP 112-degree ultra-wide lens, and a 64MP periscope telephoto lens; the telephoto supports CIPA 6.5-stop image stabilization. The video captures real-world footage shot in the low-light indoor environment of Tokyo Game Show, with good detail in close-up, distant, and zoomed-in shots, while AI super-telephoto also helps enhance distant subjects.
When shooting portraits, you can enable live preview on the cover screen, allowing the subject to check the composition in real time. This design takes advantage of the foldable phone’s dual-screen nature, making it more convenient for selfies, group photos, or when asking someone else to take the picture.
AI sidebar, meeting summarization, and real-time translation
MagicOS 10’s AI sidebar suggests tools based on the current screen, making it possible to quickly summarize web pages, transcribe recordings, identify different speakers, and compile meeting minutes. The AI document assistant can open Office-format files and help summarize, polish, expand, or shorten them; it also supports screen translation, simultaneous interpretation, call translation, and AI fraud detection for Deepfake and identity impersonation.
Flagship performance and a large 6660mAh battery
The HONOR Magic V6 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, and the unit tested in the video comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. In actual testing, AnTuTu V12 scored about 1,770,000 points when folded and about 1,844,000 points when unfolded, while PCMark 2.0 scored about 17,781 points; during daily operation and prolonged use, its overall smoothness and temperature control are both at flagship level.
The device packs a 6660mAh battery and supports 80W wired and 66W wireless HONOR SuperCharge. In the PCMark 2.0 video battery life test from 100% down to 20%, the cover screen lasts about 15 hours and the inner screen about 11 hours 19 minutes; depending on actual usage intensity, typical users can expect it to last around one and a half to two days.
Who is the HONOR Magic V6 suitable for?
If you want large-screen multitasking without the heft of traditional foldables, the HONOR Magic V6’s slim, lightweight body, comprehensive protection, AI productivity, and telephoto camera are worth adding to your comparison. Business users can use the large screen and meeting-organizing features to improve efficiency, while those who value travel photography and event documentation can check out the real-world Tokyo Game Show footage in the video.
