Honor Magic V6 Impresses With 4.0mm Foldable Design and 6,660mAh Battery

3 articles · Updated · Creative Bloq · Jul 1

Summary

  • Honor’s Magic V6 review casts the foldable as a near top-tier all-rounder, citing its slim build, strong battery life and standout camera experience despite one notable software flaw.
  • At 4.0mm unfolded and 8.75mm folded, the phone undercuts key Samsung rivals on thickness while pairing a 6.52-inch outer screen and 7.95-inch inner display with up to 6,000 nits brightness.
  • The camera setup combines 50MP main and ultra-wide sensors with a 64MP periscope lens, but default AI skin smoothing in photo mode hurts natural shots; switching to Pro mode removes the issue.
  • A 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, 16GB RAM and 80W wired charging help position the V6 as a productivity-focused foldable with Mac dual-screen and Apple file-sharing support.
  • At £1,999.99 retail—or £1,499 with a £500 launch discount plus £549.97 in bundled devices—the V6 is pitched as unusually aggressive value, though Honor still does not sell it in the U.S.
