Honor’s Magic V6 is set to debut next month, and leaks suggest it will be the fastest‑charging foldable yet.
This is thanks to 120W charging and a battery capacity of up to 7150mAh. This marks a huge leap over the Magic V5 and rivals like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
The mobile phone brand has confirmed that the Magic V6 will be unveiled a day before MWC 2026 officially begins, positioning it as one of the headline launches of the event.
Certification from China’s CCC authority reveals support for 120W charging, which is nearly double the 67W maximum offered by the Magic V5.
This upgrade could make the V6 the quickest foldable to recharge, a significant advantage in a category where battery life and charging speeds remain pain points. For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 is still capped at 25W charging, while Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold manages 39W, and Oppo’s Find N5 sits in the 67W range.
The leak also indicates that Honor will release two versions of the Magic V6, labelled PNM‑AN10 and PNM‑AN20, with the latter expected to include Beidou satellite messaging support. This feature could appeal to users who value connectivity in remote areas, though it is unlikely to be a mainstream selling point in the UK.
More universally appealing is the rumoured battery capacity: the flagship model may carry a 7150mAh cell, while cheaper variants could ship with a slightly smaller 6,850mAh unit. Either way, the combination of high‑capacity batteries and ultra‑fast charging should deliver a practical improvement in day‑to‑day usability.
Performance is another area where Honor appears determined to compete. All Magic V6 models are expected to run Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which integrates Oryon Gen 3 cores capable of up to 4.6GHz and offers multi‑core performance that rivals Apple’s A19 Pro.
This SoC also supports advanced AI features and high‑bandwidth LPDDR5X memory, ensuring the V6 will be competitive with other 2026 flagships. Combined with rumours of a 200MP primary camera and periscope lens, the Magic V6 could be one of the most technically ambitious foldables yet.
Finally, the timing of the launch gives Honor a chance to capture attention before rivals announce their own MWC updates. If the Magic V6 delivers on its charging promises, it could set a new benchmark for foldables and force competitors to rethink their approach.
