HONOR’s next foldable is the Magic V6, a successor to this year’s Magic V5 . The most recent leak said that it had already entered the development stage. Though there’s still some time before the foldable launches, a lot has been said about it already, including how it’ll feature a 200MP main camera, possibly looking to take on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. A new leak has now revealed the upgrades that the HONOR Magic V6 would bring over its predecessor.
HONOR Magic V6 could arrive with battery, camera, and performance upgrades
A new leak on X from @RODENT950 notes that the HONOR Magic V6 will bring some notable upgrades over the Magic V5. Reiterating a previous leak, the leaker says the foldable will feature a 200MP camera. However, details regarding other sensors remain in the dark, at least for now. But they could be quite solid, considering the brand’s emphasis on cameras on its flagships, besides durability . For comparison, the Magic V5 houses a 50MP main sensor and ultrawide sensor and a 64MP periscope telephoto lens.
Furthermore, the upcoming HONOR foldable is tipped to feature the “latest Snapdragon,” which could be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. For comparison, the HONOR Magic V5 ships with the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
The foldable may arrive early
The headlining feature, however, as per the leaker, will be a 7,000mAh battery. This closely matches a recent leak that said the HONOR Magic V6 could get two battery options. One with a 6,900mAh cell and the other with a 7,200mAh cell. So, it’s more or less certain at this point that we’ll see the upcoming HONOR foldable packing a large battery. Well, at least in select regions.
Considering it pans out, this will be a significant upgrade, and one that beats current foldables. To jog your memory, HONOR’s Magic V5 foldable came in two battery variants: a 5,820mAh battery for global and a 6,100mAh cell for China. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rocking a modest 4,400mAh battery.
Lastly, the leak says the HONOR Magic V6 will debut in March 2026, which is much earlier than the Magic V5’s launch timeline. To recall, the HONOR Magic V5 went official in China in July and expanded globally in August.
