SAMSUNG has just released its eighth-generation folding screen phone, and HONOR immediately posted a post on social platforms to criticize the SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and called its own book-style folding phone HONOR Magic V6 the real “Ultra”!
HONOR’s promotional post on the X platform this time attracted a lot of market attention. The content mainly teased that the latest rival device still uses 5000mAh battery and 45W charging technology. The brand used the hashtag #therealultra to describe the HONOR Magic V6 foldable phone. According to the official first promotional poster, HONOR stated that today in 2026, equipping a foldable phone with a 5000mAh battery is no longer an impressive configuration. This is at best the standard of 2025. The poster screen directly compares the power of three models, namely the SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra with a built-in 5000mAh battery, the previous generation Magic V5 with a 5820mAh battery, and the 2026 HONOR new foldable phone with a 6660mAh battery.
Another promotional poster focuses on the charging power of SAMSUNG. While the smartphone industry and even the foldable phone market are currently moving towards 80W or even 100W fast charging specifications, the Korean brand is still stuck at 45W power and calls it ultra-fast charging. HONOR added in the post that if its competitors can catch up in battery technology in the future, they will need to start developing their charging technology.
In terms of actual hardware data, SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra supports 45W charging, while HONOR Magic V6 is equipped with 80W fast charging. This HONOR foldable phone can charge the battery from zero to 72% in 30 minutes. These data reflect that HONOR Magic V6 has considerable advantages in hardware components such as battery capacity, screen specifications, and durability. As for when Korean brands will reach the same level in related technologies, it is still unknown. At the same time, market news pointed out that the brand is preparing to launch a wide-screen folding phone with an innovative design to compete with the market. (Source: huaweicentral)
However, the author believes that although the battery technology of Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is not as good as Magic V6, it can definitely compete with Magic V6 in terms of software and other aspects, and the AI function even beats the opponent!
