Honor unveiled the Magic V6 foldable smartphone in early 2024, aiming to erase the size and usability barriers that have limited consumer adoption. The white model folds to just 8.75 mm and weighs 219 g, while the other colorways sit at 9 mm and 224 g. Powered by MagicOS 10, the device promises a smoother multitasking experience alongside a near‑invisible screen crease.

8.75 mm Thickness Sets New Benchmark for Foldables

The Magic V6’s record‑thin profile is achieved with an Aerospace Special Fiber back cover, a material that trims both bulk and weight. At 8.75 mm when folded, the white variant is thinner than many conventional slab phones, a claim echoed by the review’s measurements. This engineering leap narrows the gap between foldables and traditional smartphones, a gap that has historically deterred mainstream buyers.

Nearly Invisible Crease and Dual‑Screen Anti‑Reflective Coating

Honor’s engineers applied a refined anti‑reflective layer to both the 7.95‑inch inner AMOLED (2172 × 2352 px) and the 6.52‑inch cover screen, which also runs at 120 Hz. The center crease has been re‑engineered to be “nearly invisible to the eye and touch,” according to the source, positioning the V6 among the industry’s best‑looking foldables. This visual improvement directly addresses one of the most common consumer compalints about earlier models.

Stylus Sold Separately, Raising the $1,900 Price Tag

While the V6 supports stylus input on both displays, Honor chose not to bundle the accessory or provide a built‑in holster . Reviewers note that power users may find the extra cost and inconvenience frustrating, especially given the device’s premium price point of roughly $1,900. the decision highlights a trade‑off between design purity and user convenience.

Triple 50‑MP Camera System Leverages CIPA 6.5‑Stop Stabilization

The phone retains a triple‑camera array from the V5, featuring a Sony IMX906 main sensor (f/1.6) and a 50‑MP periscope telephoto lens (f/2.5) alongside a 122‑degree ultra‑wide lens. Software upgrades, notably CIPA’s 6.5‑stop image stabilization, improve handheld shots and video steadiness, while a partnership with Studio Harcourt Paris upgrades portrait rendering beyond the more clinical look of rivals such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Fast‑Flex Gesture Turns Foldable Into a Productivity Tool

MagicOS 10 introduces Fast‑Flex, a gesture that triggers split‑screen layouts or snaps apps into place simply by folding the device. Combined with seamless app continuity between the cover and inner screens, the feature reduces the friction that has plagued multitasking on foldables. As the review notes,these software refinements aim to make the V6 a genuine replacement for a traditional smartphone rather than a novelty.

Who Will Actually Buy a $1,900 Ultra‑Thin Foldable?

The review points out that Honor has not disclosed any carrier subsidies or financing options, leaving open the question of whether price‑sensitive consumers will adopt the V6. Additionally, the lack of an integrated stylus holder may deter creative professionals who expected an all‑in‑one solution. As of now, sales forecasts remain speculative.
