Overview of the Honor Magic V6
Honor has launched the Magic V6, the sixth iteration of its foldable Android phone-tablet. This version introduces a new red suede-like back with gold framing and maintains a thin profile with a prominent circular camera module. The device is priced at £1,500 initially, rising to £2,000 after August, which is £300 more than the previous model.
Design and Display
The Magic V6 is largely similar to the Magic V5, retaining its status as one of the thinnest and lightest foldable tablets available. It includes an IP68 water resistance rating and a fingerprint scanner integrated into the power button. Both the external 6.52-inch OLED cover screen and the internal 7.95-inch OLED flexible display offer crisp visuals. However, the internal screen has a more noticeable crease than some competitors, and its integrated film attracts fingerprints.
Performance and Specifications
The Magic V6 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, positioning it as a high-performance device. It comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, running MagicOS 10 (Android 16). Camera specifications include a 50MP main, 50MP ultrawide, and 64MP 3x telephoto lens, along with dual 20MP selfie cameras. Connectivity options include 5G, dual SIM, USB-C, Wi-Fi 7, NFC, and Bluetooth 6.
The device's default 'balanced' battery mode restricts its full performance, which becomes apparent during gaming and other intensive tasks. Users need to switch to 'performance' mode to access the processor's full capabilities.
