HONOR has launched the Magic V6 in Singapore, positioning the foldable as a premium device that combines a slimmer body, stronger durability, larger battery capacity and tighter integration with Apple-centred workflows.
The Magic V6 measures 8.75mm when folded and 4.0mm when unfolded, while weighing about 219g for the white version.
At the centre of the device is the company’s Super Steel Hinge, which it says has a tensile strength of 2,800MPa. HONOR also highlights a durability demonstration in which the phone towed a 1.25-tonne aircraft and a sports car, earning Asia Record and ASEAN Record titles for the heaviest aircraft towed by a foldable smartphone.
More practically, the hinge is said to have been tested for up to 500,000 folds, which HONOR equates to more than 13 years of daily use.
HONOR says its Multi-Flex system allows up to three split-screen apps to run at once on the large inner display, enabling users to stream content, reply to messages, shop, edit presentations, research and manage emails within a single interface.
It also introduces a feature called Fast-Flex, which activates Gemini when the phone is partially folded, allowing the device to support planning and information tasks more directly.
A notable part of the launch is HONOR’s clear attempt to appeal to users already living in Apple’s ecosystem. The Magic V6 supports iCloud Connect, allowing access to iCloud files from the foldable’s larger display, while HONOR Connect enables one-tap transfer of files, photos and videos between the Magic V6, iPhone and MacBook.
The phone also supports Cross-OS Magic Ring for Mac Screen Extension, effectively turning the foldable into a second display for a MacBook.
For AirPods users, HONOR says the device also supports pop-up pairing, noise control functions and Find My tracking, while notifications can sync across iPhone and Apple Watch.
Beyond its foldable form, the Magic V6 is the first foldable powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, with the chip intended to support gaming, multitasking and AI-heavy workloads with better efficiency.
The phone also uses a 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery, which is the largest battery capacity currently offered in a foldable smartphone. Charging support includes 80W wired, 66W wireless and reverse wireless charging.
The Magic V6 uses what it calls Magic Diamond Displays, combining an Anti-Scratch NanoCrystal Shield on the outer screen with upgraded Ultra-Tough Glass on the inner display.
The outer display supports up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness, while the inner panel reaches up to 5,000 nits. Both offer adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz.
The phone also comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, which means HONOR is treating it not merely as a delicate luxury device, but as a foldable meant to hold up under more demanding daily use.
Camera hardware includes a 64MP telephoto unit with CIPA 6.5 image stabilisation, backed by a Portrait Engine and a feature called Magic Pose, which offers AI-guided posing suggestions.
In Singapore, the HONOR Magic V6 is available in four colours: Ferghana Red, Sunrise Gold, Ivory White and Classic Black. It comes in two configurations, with the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage version priced at S$2,599, and the 16GB RAM and 1TB version priced at S$2,899.
The device is available for pre-order until 11 June 2026 and will go on sale in stores nationwide from 12 June.
