Honor Magic V6: A Foldable Phone with a Large Battery and Two LTPO Displays
The Honor Magic V6 has a 7.95-inch inner display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and a 6,660 mAh silicon-carbon battery. Its foldable design combines a large screen for working and viewing content with a smaller outer display for use when the phone is folded.
The Honor Magic V6 has a 7.95-inch inner display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and a 6,660 mAh silicon-carbon battery. Its foldable design combines a large screen for working and viewing content with a smaller outer display for use when the phone is folded.
Two displays with refresh rates up to 120 Hz
The inner LTPO AMOLED display has a resolution of 2,172 × 2,352 pixels, a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. The larger screen is useful for working with multiple apps, watching videos or browsing content.
The 6.52-inch outer display uses LTPO technology and has a Full HD+ resolution, a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 6,000 nits. It lets you use the phone without unfolding it. The stated brightness figures are peak values, not levels maintained continuously.
Both displays use 4,320 Hz PWM dimming and have a stated reflectance of 1.5%. Low reflectance may make the screens easier to read in bright light, although sensitivity to dimming and viewing comfort can vary between users.
Performance and memory
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor is paired with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. The RAM supports working with multiple apps at once, while the storage provides space for photos, videos and other content.
The hardware is also intended for more demanding tasks, such as gaming and working with video. Actual responsiveness and power consumption depend on the app and how the phone is used.
Cameras for everyday shots and zoom
The rear camera system has three cameras:
- Main: 50 MP with an f/1.6 aperture. The wide aperture lets in more light, which can help when shooting in low light.
- Telephoto: 64 MP with an f/2.5 aperture. It is used to zoom in on more distant subjects.
- Ultra-wide: 50 MP with an f/2.2 aperture. Its wider field of view is useful for landscapes and group photos.
The front camera has a 20 MP resolution and an f/2.2 aperture, making it suitable for selfies and video calls. Image quality also depends on lighting, image processing and the zoom level selected.
Dimensions, weight and durability
Unfolded, the Honor Magic V6 measures 156.7 × 145.6 × 4.0 mm; folded, it measures 156.7 × 74.5 × 8.8 mm. It weighs 224 g. The design lets you use it as a phone when folded or take advantage of the larger screen when unfolded.
The phone has IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water protection, including immersion and high-pressure water jets under the relevant test conditions. They do not mean the phone is resistant to water in every situation.
Battery and charging
The silicon-carbon battery has a capacity of 6,660 mAh. The phone supports 80 W wired charging and wireless charging at up to 66 W. It also supports reverse wireless charging, which can provide power to compatible accessories such as earbuds.
A large battery is particularly relevant in a device with two displays. Battery life and charging time depend on usage and charging conditions; capacity and maximum charging power alone do not determine exact results.
