Honor has kicked off MWC 2026 with the announcement of the Honor Magic V6, its latest book-style foldable smartphone.

With improved protection, a larger battery and flagship internals, the Magic V6 sets the tone for the brand’s 2026 portfolio.
Honor Magic V6 specifications and features
The Honor Magic V6 becomes the first foldable smartphone to receive IP68 and IP69 ingress protection, offering resistance against dust and high-pressure water. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. Honor has engineered a new Super Steel Hinge, tested for up to 500,000 folds, while keeping the device slim at 8.75mm when folded and just 4mm when opened. The white variant weighs 219 grams.

The 6.52-inch cover screen also supports a 1Hz to 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution and up to 6,000 nits brightness. Both screens support stylus input and include 20-megapixel selfie cameras.
On the rear, the phone carries a triple camera system comprising a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS, a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. It runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16, with a commitment of seven major Android upgrades. The 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery supports 80W wired charging, 66W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
