TL;DR

  • HONOR has revealed the Magic V6 foldable with a massive 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery.
  • It is the thinnest among all book-style foldables in the folded state.
  • Magic V6 also features a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and 16GB RAM, and supports 80W fast charging.

Samsung has set the bar high for book-style foldables with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. And so to gain recognition in the segment, foldables from other brands must outstrip it in some way or another. However, one Android brand is confidently taking on Samsung on nearly all fronts. HONOR has just unveiled its latest foldable, Magic V6, ahead of MWC 2026, and appears to be winning against the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

With the Magic V6, HONOR is claiming several feats for a foldable. The HONOR Magic V6 measures 8.75mm thick when shut, making it the slimmest (when folded) book-style foldable phone, at least among those made by popular brands. The phone weighs 219 grams, which is not lighter than the Fold 7, but it also features IP68 and IP69 ratings for supreme dust and water protection.
