HONOR Launches Magic V6: The Ultimate AI Foldable Flagship
Global leading AI device ecosystem company and foldable industry leader HONOR today announced the launch of the HONOR Magic V6 in Australia. Combining an ultra-slim profile with record-breaking battery endurance, flagship-grade durability, and seamless Apple cross-ecosystem connectivity, the HONOR Magic V6 elevates the foldable experience. Equipped with intelligent AI agents and large-screen multitasking capabilities, it goes beyond a reliable smartphone to serve as a formidable real-world productivity tool.
“The industry needs the courage to evolve. Foldable users should never have to compromise between design, reliability, and performance,” said James Li, CEO of HONOR. “With the HONOR Magic V6, we focused on what truly matters: a natural form factor, trustworthy durability, and seamless cross-ecosystem productivity. HONOR Magic V6 reflects our commitment to building AI devices that empower people to realise their fullest potential, as we set out to do with our HONOR ALPHA PLAN.”
Uncompromising Durability, Ultra-Slim Design
The HONOR Magic V6 boasts an impressively slim profile, measuring just 8.75 mm when folded and 4.0 mm when unfolded (white version), with a lightweight design of around 219g – delivering an in-hand feel closer to a traditional slab smartphone than a conventional foldable.
As the innovator that redefined the foldable category, HONOR delivers an ultra-thin form factor that makes absolutely zero compromises on durability. At its core is the HONOR Super Steel Hinge, featuring an industry-leading tensile strength of 2800 MPa. Reinforced by an AI-assisted bionic cushioning system, developed through thousands of simulations, the hinge structure effectively absorbs impact and evenly distributes force during accidental drops and everyday use.
The inner display utilises UTG flexible glass for a near-zero crease visual experience, while the outer display is reinforced by the HONOR Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield. This ultra-precise silicon nitride coating features up to 5,600 layers, significantly improving durability and wear resistance while minimising reflectivity. Certified with IP68 and IP69 ratings under IEC 60529 standards, the Magic V6 offers flagship-level resistance to water, dust, and high-pressure sprays – a rarity in the foldable market.
The device also features a 6.52-inch outer display and a 7.95-inch inner foldable display, both supporting adaptive 1-120 Hz refresh rates. The outer display reaches a peak brightness of 6,000 nits, while the inner display hits 5,000 nits. Combined with an ultra-low reflectivity of 1.5%, visibility remains excellent even in direct sunlight. Both screens feature advanced eye-comfort technologies, including 4320Hz PWM dimming, ensuring comfortable viewing experience during extended use.
Enduring Power, Elite Performance
Equipped with a massive 6,660mAh HONOR Silicon-carbon Battery, the Magic V6 houses the largest battery ever seen in a foldable smartphone. With roughly 25% silicon content and an energy density of 921Wh/L, it delivers exceptional capacity without adding bulk.
Powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform with an advanced 3nm process, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, the HONOR Magic V6 offers elite performance across gaming, multitasking, and productivity. Enhanced by a full-stack Vulkan graphics engine, it seamlessly supports 120 FPS in demanding mainstream titles on the large inner display, setting a new benchmark for foldable performance.
The device also supports 80W Wired and 66W Wireless HONOR SuperCharge, alongside Wireless Reverse Charging. HONOR’s proprietary system technologies—including the HONOR E2 Power Enhanced Chip and advanced RF enhancements—maximise power efficiency and ensure rock-solid connectivity, delivering a true, uncompromised flagship experience.
Intelligent Imaging and Cross-Ecosystem Productivity
The HONOR Magic V6 delivers intelligent imaging and productivity in one seamless experience. The HONOR AI Camera System features a 50MP Ultra Light Sensitive Main Camera, a 64MP Ultra Sensing Periscope Telephoto Camera with a 1/2-inch sensor and CIPA 6.5-stop image stabilisation, and a 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera, ensuring stunning results in low-light, long-range, and everyday scenarios. A suite of AI-powered features – including AI Colour Engine, Magic Colour 2.0, Magic Video Colour, and AI Image to Video 2.0 – elevates the creative process with real-time optimisation, cinematic colour grading, and intelligent posing guidance.
Running on MagicOS 10, the Magic V6 offers HONOR’s most comprehensive AI experience yet. Its suite of HONOR AI Agents – including AI Settings Agent, AI Photos Agent, AI Suggestion, and AI Screen Suggestions – provides intuitive assistance across content creation, meeting workflows, intent recognition, and on-screen contextual actions.
To maximise the inner display’s potential, HONOR introduces Fast Flex – activating a dual split-screen mode via a simple folding motion – alongside PC-level Multi-Flex, putting an ultrawide monitor right in your pocket. Powered by a Vulkan graphics engine and desktop-grade architecture, it delivers PC-like smoothness across three simultaneous apps, effortlessly handling files over 1GB.
Breaking down ecosystem barriers, the Magic V6 connects seamlessly with iPhone, Mac, AirPods, and Apple Watch via HONOR Share for one-tap file transfers, notification sharing, and dual-screen Mac workflows.
The HONOR Magic V6 also works with Quick Share for app-free file transfers between Android™ and compatible Apple devices, making sharing easier, no matter the device you have.
