We already know that Honor is getting ready to unveil the Magic V6 foldable. Now, just ahead of the official reveal, the device has made a brief appearance in a bunch of official-looking photos.
Several users on the Chinese social media platform Weibo shared photos of Hong Kong actor and singer Nicholas Tse on what looked like a commercial shoot, holding an ultra-slim foldable phone. It doesn’t take much guesswork to assume it’s the upcoming Honor Magic V6.
The photos confirm that Magic V6 retains the company’s familiar octagonal rear camera module. The frame shows visible antenna lines, which point to a metal build. But the more interesting detail this time might be the finish.
A previous leak from Weibo tipster WhyLab claimed the device would arrive in a red vegan leather finish. The phone in these new images seems to match that description, and this will likely be the prime color of the foldable.
Honor Magic V6 Specifications
The Magic V6 has passed China’s 3C certification with a typical battery capacity of around 7,150mAh. As far as we know, it could be the largest battery ever fitted into a foldable flagship. Honor is also said to be pairing that with 120W fast charging.
The rest of the rumored specs include a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, a 200-megapixel main camera with a large sensor, and a periscope telephoto lens. Other expected features include wireless charging, full waterproofing, and support for Beidou satellite communication.
And because this is an Honor foldable, it’s reasonable to assume the company will continue to push on thinness and weight. That’s been the pitch for the past few generations.
For context, last year’s Honor Magic V5 already pushed the limits of thinness and weight, measuring just 8.8mm when folded and weighing 219 grams, while packing a 6,100mAh battery.
We won’t have to wait much longer to see how much of this holds up. The Honor Magic V6 is expected to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress, which kicks off on March 5th.
