Such a design has a real upside.
Watching video, reading, multitasking, editing photos, or anything you’d normally do on a small tablet is much more comfortable on a display shaped like this.
The 5.4-inch outer screen is wide enough to handle messages and calls without unfolding.
And despite the large displays, Huawei kept the weight to a reasonable 229 grams and the unfolded thickness to just 5.2mm.
The same Google services caveats that apply to the Pura 90 Pro Max apply here, too.
And the water resistance rating of IP58/IP59 is a step below what Honor manages on the Magic V6.
But as a piece of hardware, thinking differently about the foldable form factor, there’s nothing quite like it.
6. Honor Magic V6
The Honor Magic V6 features a 7.95-inch inner LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display (2172×2352, 120Hz) and a 6.52-inch outer AMOLED display.
It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
The camera system includes a 50MP main sensor, a 64MP periscope telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide.
The battery is 6,660mAh (global) or 7,150mAh (China) with 80W wired and 66W wireless charging.
Durability ratings are IP68 and IP69, making it the first foldable to achieve both.
Folding phones have always come with compromises you had to accept in exchange for the novelty.
The Magic V6, which debuted at MWC 2026, is the clearest sign yet that Honor has figured out how to close that gap.
Our impression of the foldable was that the crease on the inner display is remarkably shallow, even after a week of heavy use.
Honor’s new Super Steel design, rated for 500,000 folds, also feels solid and smooth throughout. It measures 8.75mm folded and just 4mm when open.
Where Honor brings real improvement is ingress protection.
The Magic V6 is the first foldable phone in the world to earn both IP68 and IP69 ratings.
Getting caught in the rain with a foldable has always been a mild source of anxiety. Not anymore, at least with this one.
The Magic V6 also offers an exceptional camera experience for a foldable.
The main is a 50MP sensor that captures an incredible amount of detail, even after significant cropping during post-processing.
The periscope telephoto lens supports 3x and 6x optical zoom, though, at 6x, AI processing is quite prominent.
7. What you should know before importing
Importing any of these phones is possible, but not always simple.
You’ll want to research band compatibility carefully; not all models support the same 5G and LTE frequencies used in the US, which means you might end up with slower data speeds or limited coverage.
The Huawei devices in particular require workarounds for apps that rely on Google services. And warranty support?
You’re largely on your own. But if you’ve ever looked at what’s available at your carrier and thought this is it?
