"Last year Google proved its hardware chops with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the first foldable with an IP68 rating, meaning the maximum rating for dust protection and a near-top rating for water. Honor has one-upped Google with the Magic V6, which boasts both IP68 and IP69 ratings, meaning it's rated for both immersion in water and exposure to high-pressure and high-temperature water jets."
"The V6 measures 4mm thick when open, and 8.75mm when folded shut (well, the white version does - other colors are fractionally thicker). That's the same as an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and thinner than previous foldables, but barely: it's 0.15mm slimmer than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7, and only 0.05mm thinner."
"For the third year running, Honor has announced what it says is the world's thinnest book-style folding phone. For the second year, it's combined that with the biggest battery in any foldable too. This year, for its third and final trick, the company went ahead and made sure it was the first foldable with an IP69 rating too."
Honor announced the Magic V6 at MWC Barcelona, claiming three industry records: thinnest book-style folding phone, largest battery in any foldable, and first foldable with IP69 rating. The device measures 4mm thick when open and 8.75mm when folded, matching iPhone 17 Pro Max thickness while being marginally thinner than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. The IP69 rating surpasses Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold IP68 rating, enabling water resistance to high-pressure jets. Chinese availability begins later this month with international release in the second half of the year. Pricing details remain undisclosed pending broader market release.
