Honor Magic V6 Features, Specifications

The Honor Magic V6 features a 6.52-inch LTPO 2.0 cover display and a 7.95-inch LTPO 2.0 inner display, with both panels supporting adaptive refresh rates of up to 120Hz. The outer screen offers up to 6,000 nits peak brightness for HDR content, while the inner screen reaches up to 5,000 nits.

The company says that the inner display of the Honor Magic V6 uses ultra-thin flexible glass and carries SGS minimised crease certification. Honor claims a 44 percent reduction in crease depth compared to the preceding Honor Magic V5. The display also supports 4,320Hz PWM dimming and includes an anti-reflection coating that the company says reduces reflectivity to 1.5 percent.

The Honor Magic V6 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, making it the first foldable smartphone to feature this chipset. It is paired with advanced vapour chamber cooling for sustained performance. It reportedly supports up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. It is said to ship with Android 16-based MagicOS 10 with seven major OS upgrades promised.

The foldable handset boasts AI-powered features such as AI-assisted multitasking, AI Meeting Agent, AI Suggestions, and cross-app actions. It also supports cross-ecosystem connectivity, including Mac screen extension, iCloud file access, and notification sharing with compatible iPhone and Apple Watch devices through the Honor Connect and Super Workstation apps on supported macOS, iOS, and Windows systems.

For optics, the Honor Magic V6 features a triple rear camera setup that includes a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS, a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Both the inner and outer displays house 20-megapixel selfie cameras. The brand says the telephoto camera achieves CIPA 6.5-rated image stabilisation based on lab tests. The phone also supports the AIMAGE Portrait Engine and AIMAGE Color Engine for enhanced image processing.

The Honor Magic V6 measures 8.75mm in thickness when folded. It carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance under IEC 60529 standards. Honor claims that the hinge uses its Super Steel material rated at 2,800MPa and has passed 500,000 folding tests by SGS. The display protection includes an anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield coating. The company also claims improved drop, scratch, and wear resistance, and reduced reflectivity compared to previous materials.

Honor Magic V6 packs a 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery developed with ATL. The handset is said to support 80W wired, 66W wireless as well as reverse wireless charging. Honor says it uses fifth-generation silicon-carbon material with 25 percent silicon content and delivers an energy density of 921Wh/L.

At MWC 2026, the company also showcased its new Silicon-carbon Blade Battery with 32 percent silicon content and over 900Wh/L energy density, aimed at supporting future foldables with 7,000mAh batteries.
