HONOR launches Magic V6 foldable phone in Europe, Australia

The HONOR Magic V6, a new flagship foldable smartphone, has launched in key European and Australian markets, introducing a device that prioritizes a slim design, a large battery, and extensive durability certifications. The phone became available in Germany on July 1 and expanded to the United Kingdom, Australia, and several other European countries on July 2.

Company executives stated the device is designed to eliminate compromises between design, reliability, and performance for foldable phone users. The Magic V6 features an ultra-thin profile, measuring 4.0 millimeters when unfolded and 8.75 millimeters when folded, while weighing approximately 219 grams. It is built around a super steel hinge and carries both IP68 and IP69 ratings for resistance to water, dust, and high-pressure sprays.

A central selling point is its 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery, which HONOR claims is the largest in a foldable smartphone. The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and supports 80-watt wired and 66-watt wireless charging. For displays, it offers a 6.52-inch outer screen and a 7.95-inch inner foldable screen, both with high peak brightness and adaptive refresh rates.
