Honor Magic V6 Wins Best Foldable Praise With 6,660mAh Battery and 7 Years of Updates

3 articles · Updated · Android Central · Jun 15

Summary

  • Android Central called the Honor Magic V6 the first foldable with “zero compromises,” citing flagship cameras, long battery life and a thinner, more balanced design than the Magic V5.
  • A 6,660mAh battery, 80W wired charging, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and dual 120Hz OLED displays with anti-reflective coating and up to 5,000 nits drove that verdict.
  • Honor also promises seven years of Android OS and security updates, while MagicOS 10 was praised as a major software improvement despite lingering split-screen and app-drawer quirks.
  • The phone starts at £1,999.99 in the UK, comes in a 16GB/512GB configuration, and is selling across Europe, the Middle East and Asia with no official North American availability.
  • The review said the V6 sets a new bar for foldables by narrowing the usual trade-offs on cameras, durability and battery life that have long separated them from standard flagship phones.
