Olympic gold, a ski slope, and an unreleased phone. Strange pairing? Not anymore. A fresh sighting has turned a sporting spotlight into a tech stage.
After actor Nicholas Tse was seen with the device, the still-unannounced Honor Magic V6 showed up again—this time in the hands of Xu Mengtao, Olympic aerial skiing champion, during the Winter Olympics in Italy. Honor has confirmed a formal tie-up with Xu, naming her an ambassador for the upcoming foldable.
Why parade a prototype at the Games? Visibility. The Olympics draw millions of eyeballs and a captive tech audience. It’s a bold move that suggests Honor wants the Magic V6 to be talked about, not just spec-sheet-scrolled.
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (expected)
- Camera: 200MP main sensor rumored
- Battery: 7,150 mAh capacity with 120W wired charging support
- Launch: Official reveal scheduled at Honor's MWC event in Barcelona on March 1
The specs, if accurate, paint a clear picture: this isn’t a minor refresh. A massive 200MP sensor and a huge 7,150 mAh battery point to a device built for photography and all-day foldable use. And the choice of Snapdragon’s top-tier Gen 5 chip would place Honor squarely in the flagship conversation.
Seen with celebrities and Olympians, the Magic V6 feels like a statement—Honor wants to be noticed.
There’s another angle here: foldables are no longer niche curiosities. They’re marketing centerpieces. By aligning a high-profile athlete with a premium foldable, Honor is betting the Magic V6 will be judged as much on lifestyle appeal as on silicon and sensors. Expect more official images and demo units as MWC approaches.
Curious yet? March 1 in Barcelona will tell whether the Magic V6 is a headline-maker or just a well-placed prototype.
