In a previous publicity stunt, Honor sent Joe Weller ziplining to test the strength of Honor Magic V6’s hinge. The latest stunt is closer to home – a manager for Honor used the V6 to do pull-ups.
Like before, the person’s weight was hanging from the phone’s hinge while the sides of the phone were attached to the ceiling (and previously, to the zip line). This is not the weakest orientation for the hinge, but it’s still way above the strain that the hinge will face in daily use.

The hinge features special 2800MPa steel, which makes it structurally stable and impact-resistant. This steel costs twice as much as titanium alloy.
Honor officially unveiled the Magic V6 at the beginning of the month, but it is still keeping some key details under wraps, namely price and availability.
