Honor unveiled its latest foldable device, the Honor Magic V6, featuring a robust 6,600 mAh battery and an innovative durable hinge just before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.

The Chinese brand is committed to showcasing that it produces the slimmest foldable devices. This year’s model measures 4mm in thickness when open and 8.75 mm when closed. In comparison, last year’s Magic V5 had a thickness of 4.1 mm when unfolded and 8.8 mm when folded. While the differences are minimal, they enable the company to substantiate its assertions.

The battery might be among the standout features of the device. The Honor Magic V6 is equipped with a 6,600 mAh battery, an upgrade from the 5,820 mAh found in the previous model. Utilizing Honor’s SuperCharge technology, it supports charging at 80W via a wired connection and 66W wirelessly.

Additionally, Honor showcased a new Silicon-carbon battery technology featuring a 32% silicon density that could elevate the battery capacity of foldable phones beyond 7,000 mAh.

This new device boasts a 7.95-inch main AMOLED display with a resolution of 2352 x 2172 pixels and a 6.52-inch cover display with a resolution of 2420 x 1080 pixels. Both displays support LTPO 2.0, allowing them to adjust to variable refresh rates ranging from 1-120Hz, enhancing content visibility and conserving battery life.

The firm stated that it has developed a new Super Steel Hinge with a tensile strength of 2,800 MPa, ensuring durability for extended use. Furthermore, it mentioned a reduction in crease depth by 44%, resulting in a smoother display. Honor highlighted that the Magic V6 features an advanced anti-reflective coating for the external screen, boasting a reflectivity rating of 1.5%.

Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, the device includes 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage. The Magic V6 comes with three rear cameras: a 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.6 aperture, a 64-megapixel telephoto camera with an f/2.5 aperture, and a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 aperture. On the front, it features dual 20-megapixel cameras with an f/2.2 aperture.

Honor is making strides to ensure seamless file and notification sharing with Apple devices. For example, the Honor Magic V6 allows users to establish a two-way notification sync with an iPhone. Additionally, the device is equipped to display notifications on the Apple Watch. It also has the capability to share files with Macs with a single tap and can function as an extended display.

Honor has not disclosed the pricing for the device but mentioned that the Magic V6 will be available in selected international markets in the latter half of the year.
