NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
Honor Magic8 is the pick for buyers who prioritize a brighter display, performance and battery; Honor Magic V6 is the better fit when a foldable design and Google services matter most. Magic8 has a narrow overall edge, but the V6 remains a meaningful alternative.
The Honor Magic V6 offers a foldable 7.95″ display with 2,172 px horizontally, versus 6.58″ and 1,256 px on the Magic8: it suits anyone who wants more screen area. The Magic8 counters with LTPO OLED, 6,000 nits and 461 ppi, versus AMOLED, 5,000 nits and 403 ppi; its 7,000 mAh battery and 90 W charging also exceed the V6’s 6,660 mAh and 80 W. Both have 120Hz, IP68 and IP69 resistance, and wireless charging.
For performance, the Magic8 scores 4,028,332 in AnTuTu against 3,064,177 for the V6, although both use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and 16GB of RAM. The V6 keeps practical advantages: Google services, USB 3.1 and more SIM configurations, while the Magic8 lacks Google and uses USB 2.0. The V6’s main camera has an f/1.6 aperture versus f/1.9, but the Magic8 offers a 50MP front camera versus 20MP.
Honor Magic V6
The Honor Magic V6 is better for buyers who want a foldable phone with Google services and a 7.95″ display.
Honor Magic8
The Honor Magic8 is the better buy for buyers seeking stronger AnTuTu performance, an LTPO OLED display and a 7,000 mAh battery.
