HONOR Magic V6 Officially Launches in Italy: The Foldable Revolution with 8.75 mm Thickness and a Super Battery

Today marks the Italian debut of HONOR Magic V6, the brand's new foldable phone, which boasts an even thinner profile and a larger battery. Let’s explore all the details and specifications of this much-anticipated device from Honor.

Engineering and Design: When the Foldable Challenges Traditional Flagships

The first visual impact with the HONOR Magic V6 exceeds what we thought was physically achievable in a foldable form factor.

In the White color variant, the smartphone weighs just 219 grams and has a closed thickness of only 8.75 mm, dropping to an incredible value of 4.0 mm when the device is opened.

The Black, Gold, and Red finishes weigh in at 224 grams, with a closed thickness of 9.0 mm and 4.1 mm when opened.

To comprehend the significance of this achievement, consider that a traditional smartphone such as the iPhone 17 Pro Max has a thickness of 8.75 mm and weighs 231 grams. This result is due to the "integrated compression design", a design philosophy that has enabled the miniaturization of the interior space of six key components: the ultra-thin antenna, the speaker camera, the SIM slot, the USB-C port, the NFC module, and the vibration motor.

Durability has not been sacrificed: the HONOR Super Steel Hinge can withstand hundreds of thousands of cycles, assisted by a bionic damping system developed via AI simulations to dissipate shock forces in case of drops.

For the first time in a foldable, the device features double IP68 and IP69 certification against dust, immersion, and high-pressure or high-temperature water jets.

Record Silicon-Carbon Battery: 6660 mAh

While the ultra-slim profile is impressive, the real revolution hides in battery life, which has historically been a critical issue for foldables.

The HONOR Magic V6 integrates a maxi silicon-carbon battery of 6660 mAh, an absolute record for the category. Utilizing a proprietary architecture with 25% silicon content (compared to the market average of 16%), the brand has achieved an energy density of 921 Wh/L, packing an unprecedented amount of energy into a millimeter-sized space.

Tests certified by the independent entity TÜV Rheinland confirm that the smartphone offers up to 24 hours of continuous battery life with the internal screen open.

Charging technology features HONOR SuperCharge wired at 80 W, 66 W wireless charging, and reverse charging support. Chemical and mechanical safety is ensured by a high-resistance separator (+40% against perforations) and the dedicated HONOR E2 chip for smart energy management.

Dual Displays and Maximum Power

The display section reaches absolute levels. The main inner screen is a 7.95-inch LTPO AMOLED mapped at a resolution of 2352x2172 pixels (1-120 Hz) with a peak HDR brightness of 5000 nits.

The external screen, measuring 6.52 inches, reaches a peak brightness of 6000 nits, protected by the NanoCrystal Shield in silicon nitride with 5600 layers that reduces reflectivity to 1.5%.

Both panels support stylus use and integrate extremely high-frequency PWM dimming up to 5280 Hz, alongside the AI Defocus Display feature to alleviate eye strain across over 2000 compatible applications.

Under the hood, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform at 3 nanometers delivers a 20% performance increase in single-core and 10% in multi-core, with a GPU that is 23% faster and an NPU improved by 37%.

To prevent overheating during intense multitasking or gaming sessions, there is a ultra-thin vapor chamber (VC) measuring just 0.22 mm with a total surface area of 14,320 mm². The memory includes 16 GB of RAM paired with 512 GB of fast storage.

Camera and Software

Multimedia capabilities do not compromise either: the rear configuration offers a main 50 MP camera (f/1.6 with OIS), a 50 MP ultra-wide (f/2.2), and a 64 MP periscope telephoto with a 1/2-inch sensor, 3x optical zoom, and CIPA 6.5 stabilization, optimized for portraits and long-distance shots even in low light.

The most disruptive software move of MagicOS 10 (based on Android 16) revolves around its "Apple-Ready" essence. Through HONOR Connect and the WorkStation suite, the Magic V6 offers seamless bidirectional connectivity with iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and watchOS.

You can sync notifications in real-time, share Live Photos in original format simply by bringing devices close together, or use the open foldable screen as a wireless extension (Screen Extension) of a Mac display, effectively breaking the historical barriers between ecosystems.
