Honor Magic V5 vs Honor Magic V6
Comparison between Honor Magic V5 and Honor Magic V6: camera, battery, fast charging, display, performance and colors, side by side. More phones from Honor.
NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
Honor Magic V6 is the choice for more battery, faster charging, and stronger protection: 6,660 mAh, 80 W, and IP68/IP69 versus the Honor Magic V5’s 5,820 mAh, 66 W, and IP58, IP59, IPX9. The V5 suits buyers who prioritize a lighter foldable and an LTPO AMOLED display.
The Honor Magic V5 weighs 217 g versus 224 g for the V6 and uses LTPO AMOLED rather than AMOLED. The V6 counters with 89.1% usable surface versus 85%, a 6,000-nit cover display versus 5,000 nits, and Class A drop resistance versus Class C. Both share a 7.95″ foldable display, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 5,000-nit peak brightness.
Performance and cameras are level in the areas that matter most: both have 16 GB of RAM, but the V6 adds UFS 4.1 versus UFS 4.0 and scores 6,702 versus 5,798 in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme. For cameras, the V5 keeps an f/2 ultrawide aperture versus f/2.2 on the V6. The V6 adds 66 W wireless charging versus 50 W and Dual eSIM, while the V5 has Class B repairability versus Class C.
Honor Magic V5
The Honor Magic V6 is the better buy for 6,660 mAh, 80 W charging, and IP68/IP69 protection.
Honor Magic V6
The Honor Magic V5 is the better buy for a lighter design and LTPO AMOLED; it makes sense only if it costs less.
