The Magic V6 is a well-rounded upgrade on the Magic V5, with improvements across most of the areas that matter day to day:

• Processor – the V6 moves to the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (up from the Snapdragon 8 Elite on the V5), with faster cores and an upgraded GPU

• Battery – up from 5,820mAh to 6,660mAh, with faster wired (80W vs 66W) and wireless (66W vs 50W) charging

• Camera – they have the same core lens setup, but the V6 adds CIPA-rated 6.5 stops of image stabilisation and an AI Color engine on the telephoto camera

• Water resistance – the V5 carries IP58 and IP59 ratings; the V6 upgrades to IP68 and IP69, meaning it can handle submersion in up to 1.5 metres of water for up to 30 minutes

Storage (512GB), screen size, and software support (up to seven years of Android OS and security updates) are the same across both models. If you’re coming from the V5, the V6 is an all-around step-up rather than a single standout change.

The HONOR Magic V6 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This is a top-tier chipset made by Qualcomm. Here’s what it’s made of:

• Two high-performance Prime cores running at 4.6GHz

• Six efficiency Performance cores running at 3.62GHz

• An Adreno 840 GPU (graphics processing unit)

In everyday terms, that means the Magic V6 handles everything with ease, from high-resolution gaming to video editing.

Yes, the HONOR Magic V6 is fully 5G compatible. The Magic V6 also supports 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, so it works across a wide range of coverage.

5G delivers significantly faster download and upload speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connections compared to 4G. Learn more about 5G phones

The HONOR Magic V6 features a 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery – one of the largest ever fitted into a foldable smartphone. It’s also TÜV Rheinland-certified to last a full 24 hours of continuous use on the inner screen. In practice, most users should comfortably get through a full day on a single charge – even with heavy use.

No – the HONOR Magic V6 doesn’t include a charger in the box. This is standard practice across the smartphone industry, as removing chargers from the box helps reduce unnecessary packaging and electronic waste.

Yes, the HONOR Magic V6 supports 80W HONOR Wired SuperCharge. To put that in context, 80W is among the fastest wired charging speeds available on any smartphone today. It’s capable of taking a low battery to a significant charge in a short space of time.

To reach this top speed, you’ll need the original HONOR SuperCharge charger, sold separately. Using a third-party charger may result in slower speeds. Explore our full range of chargers and accessories

Yes, the HONOR Magic V6 supports 66W HONOR Wireless SuperCharge. That makes it one of the fastest wirelessly charging smartphones available.

Wireless charging lets you power up simply by placing your phone on a compatible charging pad – no cables required. For the full 66W speed, you’ll need the original HONOR SuperCharge wireless charger, sold separately.

As a foldable phone, the HONOR Magic V6 gives you two screens in one device:

• Outer screen (folded): 6.52 inches – similar to a standard smartphone

• Inner screen (unfolded): 7.95 inches – closer in size to a compact tablet

Both screens use OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology, delivering vivid colours, deep blacks, and sharp visuals. Both also support an adaptive 1–120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and better battery efficiency.

The HONOR Magic V6 features a triple rear camera system, built for everything from wide-angle landscapes to long-distance shots. Here’s what each lens does in practice:

• Ultra-wide camera – 50MP

Great for cramming more into the frame, like group shots, architecture, or sweeping scenery. The wider the lens, the more you capture without stepping back.

• Main wide camera – 50MP

Your go-to for everyday photos. It has a wide aperture (f/1.6), which means it lets in more light – ideal for sharp, bright shots even in low-light conditions. It also has OIS (optical image stabilisation), which compensates for hand movement to keep your photos crisp.

• Periscope telephoto camera – 64MP

This is the zoom lens. A periscope design folds the optics inside the phone. This enables powerful zoom without a bulky camera bump. It supports up to 100x digital zoom, so you can capture faraway details clearly. It also has OIS and an AI Color engine for true-to-life colours.

• Selfie cameras – 20MP

There’s a 20MP wide-angle front camera on both the inner and outer screens, so you get the same selfie quality whether the phone is folded or open.

Yes, and with the Magic V6, HONOR has significantly expanded its list of AI features:

Cross-device connectivity

• Mac screen extension – turns the Magic V6 into a second display for your Mac, giving you a dual-screen setup without any extra hardware

• Notification sharing – pushes your phone notifications directly to your iPhone or Apple Watch, so you don’t have to pick up the phone every time something comes in

• iPhone Easy Hotspot – connects your iPhone to your Magic V6’s mobile data automatically, without having to dig through settings

• AirPods Connect – pairs your AirPods with the Magic V6 as seamlessly as you’d expect with an Apple device

• iCloud Connect – gives you direct access to your iCloud files from the Magic V6, bridging the gap between HONOR and Apple’s ecosystem

• Mac Connected Files – lets you browse and open files stored on your Mac directly from the phone

Multitasking and productivity

• HONOR Multi-Flex – uses the foldable form factor to run multiple apps across different screen positions simultaneously, adapting the layout to how the phone is being held

• HONOR Fast-flex – fold the phone to a set angle and the screen instantly splits to surface your most-used tools, with no manual navigation required

• AI meeting tool – lets you register specific names in advance, so the phone can alert you the moment those names come up in a live meeting or call

• AI Suggestions – learns your routines and recommends relevant apps based on where you are, so the right tool surfaces at the right moment

Camera AI

• AiMAGE Color Engine – analyses each photo after it’s taken and restores colour accuracy, bringing images closer to how the scene actually looked to the naked eye

• 64MP telephoto with Night mode – uses cloud-based processing to sharpen and clarify long-distance shots taken in low light

Yes, the Magic V6 supports dual SIM, meaning you can use two separate SIM cards at the same time.

This is particularly useful if you want to keep personal and work numbers on one device. It’s also handy if you’d like to use a local SIM when travelling without removing your primary card.

Yes, the HONOR Magic V6 supports eSIM. This means that your smartphone doesn’t need a physical SIM. It’s a flexible, travel-friendly alternative, where you can have two numbers on the same smartphone, with one eSIM alongside a physical SIM.

The HONOR Magic V6 carries both IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings. That’s a notable combination for any smartphone – and particularly impressive for a foldable.

This means that:

• the phone can withstand submersion in up to 1.5 metres of fresh water for up to 30 minutes (IP68),

• the phone is resistant to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets (IP69).

With these ratings combined, the Magic V6 can comfortably handle rain, splashes, and accidental drops in water. That said, water resistance can diminish over time due to wear and tear, so it’s not a permanent guarantee.

The HONOR Magic V6 launches with MagicOS 10.0, based on Android 16. That’s the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system at the time of release, so you’re starting with fully up-to-date software.
