Honor teases an early Magic V6 launch alongside humanoid robot and ‘Robot Phone’ [Video]

As MWC 2026 approaches, Honor is teasing what it will be showing off, including a surprisingly early Magic V6 launch and a big focus on robotics.

In a teaser posted to YouTube and social media, Honor teases plans for a new foldable as well as a step into robotics at MWC 2026. The company has been teasing the Honor Magic V6 through Weibo, with the device having leaked in the hands of Olympic athletes as well (as pictured above).

To have the Honor Magic V6 launching at MWC 2026 is surprisingly early, as the company usually launches new foldables globally in the second half of the year. Honor Magic V5, for instance, made its debut in August 2025.

The Honor Magic V6 looks pretty similar to that last release, at least based on leaks. The foldable is said to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a battery capacity somewhere around 7,000 mAh.

But Honor’s other focus at MWC, it seems, is all about robotics.

In a teaser video, the Magic V6 is shown with the reflection of a robot hand, with Honor entering the humanoid robotics space as reported by Bloomberg. It remains to be seen exactly what will come of this, but Honor has also been teasing its “Robot Phone” for months now, and says that the device will be on display at MWC 2026 too. Still no word on an official release, though.

Honor says:

We’ve combined cutting-edge robotics with the ultimate mobile experience. The result? Something you have to see to believe. The adventure starts on March 1st in Barcelona!

Beyond those, Honor has also confirmed to 9to5Google and other outlets that it will be presenting a new laptop, Honor MagicBook Pro 14, and a new Android tablet, Honor MagicPad 4, at MWC 2026, with a presentation on March 1.
