The HONOR Magic V6 has officially landed, and honestly? It’s a bit of a showstopper. If you’ve been waiting for a foldable that doesn’t feel like a compromise, this might just be the one.
Good Points
- Ridiculously Thin: We’re talking 8.75mm folded and 4.0mm unfolded. It’s genuinely impressive engineering that makes previous foldables look chunky by comparison.
- The Battery is a Beast: You’ve got a massive 6660mAh silicon-carbon battery packed into that slim frame—the biggest in a foldable yet. It’s TÜV Rheinland certified for 24-hour inner display use.
- Flagship-Grade Cameras: It’s rocking a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 64MP periscope telephoto lens. The zoom is actually usable for once, and the AI image engine does some serious heavy lifting.
- Tougher Than Ever: IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance? Yes, please. Plus, the hinge is rated for 500,000 folds. This thing is built to survive the real world, not just a lab bench.
- Apple-Friendly: If you’re trapped in a mixed ecosystem, the Magic V6 plays nicely with MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones, including two-way notification syncing.
Bad Points
- Price and Availability: While this is a powerhouse, you’ll need to check your local market for the exact damage to your wallet, as pricing wasn’t explicitly detailed in the reviewer materials—you’ll want to keep an eye on your regional HONOR store for that.
- Software Learning Curve: With all the AI features—like Fast Flex and Multi-Flex multitasking—it might take a hot minute to get your head around the new workflow, even if it’s incredibly powerful once you do.
