The problem is that improving one area usually means sacrificing something else. HONOR believes it has found a way around that tradeoff with the new Magic V6, and the phone is beginning to roll out globally.Announced for the Chinese market earlier this year, the HONOR Magic V6 arrives as the company’s latest flagship foldable and comes with an ultra-slim design, surprisingly large battery, flagship-grade durability, and deeper integration with Apple’s ecosystem.
