Honor Magic V6 Wins Praise for 6,660mAh Battery as Software Flaws Undercut Foldable

Summary
Engadget called the Magic V6 a “mechanical marvel,” saying its hardware, durability and battery life stand out even as the software keeps it short of greatness.
A 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery lasted 30 hours 12 minutes in local video testing, while the foldable also impressed with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performance, 15GB RAM and a sturdier IP68/IP69 design.
Honor’s redesign trimmed thickness and added a 6.52-inch cover screen, but the review said MagicOS 10 remains rough on the main display, with weak multitasking support and inconsistent UI polish.
The camera setup — 50MP main, 50MP ultra-wide and 64MP 3x telephoto — was judged adequate rather than class-leading, with portrait processing and AI-assisted 100x zoom drawing criticism.
Honor also pitched Apple-friendly features such as AirPods controls and Mac file transfer, yet the review argued software refinement matters more for an ultra-premium foldable launched just eight months after the V5.
