I’ve been using the Honor Magic V6 for the last two weeks, and I’ve got some thoughts… I say ‘using’ and not ‘testing’, because to be completely straight with you, I forgot I was meant to be studiously making notes of my experience using this thing. I was enjoying it too much!
I have a pretty good context for judging the V6. I had the V5 before as my main phone, and I’m happy to say that there are only positive changes made to the newer model. The headlines are the combination of a crazy-thin 4.0mm unfolded design with a massive 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery, which answers the endurance and bulk issues that have plagued foldables forever.
Creative professionals also have a genuine reason to check it out: the V6 includes a three-month Google AI Pro trial giving you access to cutting-edge Gemini app tools like Flow filmmaking and Veo 3.1 video generation. It also bridges the ecosystem gap by supporting dual-screen Mac workflows and one-tap file sharing with Apple devices.
I know only a small percentage of you will read the whole of this review, so let me be clear: The Magic V6 is one of the best camera phones I’ve ever tried – and that’s without the camera on this thing being at all perfect!
Let’s dig into it…

Measuring just 8.75 mm thick when folded and an utterly zonkaloid 4.0 mm when unfolded, the V6 is a very thin chap. Now, I’m not impressed by records being broken for the sake of it, but that thinness really makes a difference when I’m handling the V6 both folded when I check incoming messages, and unfolded when, errm, I’m basically doing everything else.
This thinness undercuts older competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (12.1 mm folded) and even edges past the newer Galaxy Z…
