Honor Magic V6: Thinnest Foldable Yet with Largest Battery
Honor has launched the Magic V6, its most powerful foldable smartphone, measuring 8.75mm when folded and weighing 219g. It features a 6,660mAh battery—the largest in any foldable—and improved durability with IP68/IP69 ratings and a 'Super Steel Hinge' designed to absorb impact. The device runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform and offers a 7.95-inch inner display and 6.52-inch outer display with high refresh rates and eye-comfort technologies. The MagicOS 10 operating system is AI-heavy, integrating Google Gemini and a three-month trial of Google's AI Pro, though its cartoonish avatars may grate. The UI borrows design elements from Apple's iOS26 Liquid Glass. Honor continues to market aggressively, collaborating with Porsche Design and Jimmy Choo, and offering the Magic V6 at £1,999.99 or £1,499.99 with on-site discount until 31 July 2026. Purchasers from O2 and Amazon.co.uk can claim a bundle of Honor tech worth £549 until 5 August 2026.
