We’ve got a first look for you today – the new Honor Magic V6 in Red. Honor will share the full details on Sunday, but for now let’s look at some photos.

The Honor Magic V6 will make its debut at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on March 1. This Red model is kind of special. It has a textured surface on the rear panel that feels like suede under your finger (especially under your nail).

The red color is contrasty and deep when looked at directly. However, tilt the phone at an angle, and the threads in the panel begin to shift color and contrast. Hit the back panel the right way under specific light, and the deep, saturated red begins to fade and turn almost light grey.

The color changes under different lights

Otherwise, the Magic V6 looks very similar to its predecessor. It also feels a similar size and weight, which isn’t a bad thing, as the Magic V5 is among the thinnest and lightest foldables around.

Quite the difference

We’ll be back with more Honor Magic V6 content as soon as we can!
