Honor Magic V6’s Power Play: MWC And The Race For Global Momentum

Honor unveiled the new Magic V6 in Barcelona one day before Mobile World Congress began and distributed review units ahead of the event.
By redesigning its hinge and internal parts, Honor reduced the V6's depth to 4.0mm unfolded and 8.75mm folded, reworking the hinge and antenna, USB‑C controller, and speakers to cut thickness.
The Magic V6 packs flagship silicon and large, high-res displays, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, and features a 7.95-inch inner display, 6,660 mAh battery, Super Steel Hinge with 500,000 folds, plus IP68/69 ratings.
The move positions Honor to seize headlines at Mobile World Congress and push its competitive case, but the early Magic V6 launch risks upsetting recent Magic V5 buyers who paid £1,799.
Honor says the Magic V6 will reach 'select markets' in the second half of 2026, ahead of Apple’s March 4th launch event and a busy September device calendar.
