Even though we just reviewed the foldable HONOR Magic V5, newly leaked images have already revealed its successor, the HONOR Magic V6, in a vibrant red finish, offering an early look at the foldable ahead of its expected debut in 2026.
The visuals highlight a more refined design language and an ultra-slim profile, reinforcing the brand’s strategy to position the device in the premium segment.

The red color variant gives the foldable a striking appearance, but the finish goes beyond a simple paint job. The rear panel appears to feature a suede-like texture, designed to provide a soft, tactile feel while enhancing the overall sense of sophistication. Another notable detail is the way the color shifts depending on lighting and viewing angle. When viewed head-on, the device shows a deeper red tone, while tilting it produces lighter shades, creating a dynamic visual effect.

In terms of overall shape and weight, the Magic V6 does not seem to depart dramatically from the design introduced with its predecessor. Even so, it continues to stand out as one of the thinnest and lightest foldables in its category. When unfolded, the device measures just 4.1 mm thick, maintaining a strong focus on portability and engineering efficiency.

The foldable is scheduled to be officially introduced during MWC 2026 on March 1. In the lead-up to the announcement, several previews and leaks have surfaced, including reports of an extreme durability test. Full technical specifications have not yet been disclosed, but the Magic V6 has already been confirmed as a flagship model powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform.
Additional rumors surrounding HONOR’s presence at MWC suggest the company may also showcase other innovations at the event, though the foldable smartphone is expected to be one of the main highlights.
