Official: New Honor Magic V6 foldable to beat Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 to global debut

Honor has outlined its plans for its next global showcase. For context, the company recently launched the Magic8 Pro across Europe. Now, it has confirmed that the Magic V6 will soon be upon us. In short, the Magic V6 is rumoured to combine a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with a circa 7,000 mAh battery.

Specifically, Honor has decided to bring the Magic V6 to MWC 2026 in Barcelona. While this year's trade show will run between March 2 and March 5, Honor will officially present the Magic V6 globally a day early on March 1. Not only that, but the company will use MWC 2026 to debut its Robot Phone internationally, too.

Previously, Honor has showcased the Robot Phone in China. First appearing in October, the device then went on show in prototype form a month later. Unfortunately, Honor's official statement does not indicate whether the Robot Phone will receive a full commercial release. By contrast, we would expect the Magic V6 to replace the Magic V5 (curr. $1,620 on Amazon) globally before the second half of the year.
