Honor Magic V6 Debuts in China with Larger Batteries
Honor has officially introduced the Magic V6 foldable smartphone in the Chinese market shortly after its global reveal at the Mobile World Congress. The latest foldable device arrives with notable improvements, especially in battery capacity, along with confirmed pricing for different storage configurations. The Chinese version also brings a few regional differences compared to the global model, making it a slightly more powerful option for local buyers.
Larger Battery Options for Chinese Variants
One of the biggest highlights of the Chinese version of the Honor Magic V6 is its upgraded battery capacity. Honor has equipped the device with different battery sizes depending on the storage and memory configuration.
The variants with 256GB and 512GB internal storage come with a 6,850mAh silicon-carbon battery. Meanwhile, the premium version with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage features an even larger 7,150mAh battery. This is noticeably bigger than the global model, which is equipped with a 6,660mAh battery.
These large battery capacities are designed to provide longer usage time, especially considering the power demands of a foldable device with dual displays.
Fast Wired and Wireless Charging Support
Alongside the large batteries, the Honor Magic V6 also supports advanced charging technology. All variants of the device are compatible with 80W wired fast charging, allowing users to quickly recharge the large battery.
In addition to wired charging, the phone also supports 66W wireless charging. This combination ensures that users have multiple convenient ways to power up the device without long waiting times.
