Honor Magic V6 Lands at £1,500 With 2-Day Battery, but Software Bugs Mar Foldable

Summary
£1,499.99 buys one of the thinnest foldables available, with a 7.95-inch inner display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and battery life that stretches to nearly two days.
MagicOS 10 is the main weak point: the AI button failed in testing, Chrome would not open in split-screen, and app-store conflicts and awkward window behavior undercut the premium experience.
Honor’s hardware remains strong elsewhere, with IP68/IP69 protection, solid cameras led by a 64MP 3x telephoto lens, and performance that improves noticeably when switched from balanced to performance mode.
The value case is harder to make because the phone changes little from last year’s V5, starts at £1,500 only until August, and then rises to £1,999.99 against rivals from Samsung and Google.
