HONOR just scored one of the biggest industry honors a foldable phone can earn. Specifically, global AI devices provider HONOR Philippines celebrates a new milestone as the HONOR Magic V6 earns the title of EISA Foldable Smartphone 2026-2027 from the Expert Imaging and Sound Association. As a result, this recognition further cements HONOR’s growing leadership in foldable innovation, honoring the device for its impressive combination of performance, endurance, and durability.
“We are honored to have the HONOR Magic V6 recognized by EISA, especially for the durability and endurance that we worked hard to bring to the foldable category. This recognition validates our efforts to push foldable technology further and reflects our commitment to delivering premium, meaningful innovations that give consumers more freedom to work, create, and experience more with their devices.”
— Stephen Cheng, Vice President, HONOR Philippines
What Earned the HONOR Magic V6 This Recognition
First and foremost, EISA highlights the HONOR Magic V6’s flagship-grade hardware as a key factor behind the award. Specifically, the device runs on the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform with up to 16GB of RAM, paired with 120Hz AMOLED displays for smooth, immersive visuals. Furthermore, EISA specifically points to the massive 6,660mAh Silicon-Carbon Battery, supporting both 80W wired and 66W wireless charging.
Additionally, EISA calls out the device’s IP68 and IP69 certifications — a rarity in the foldable category — describing it as an impressive step forward for foldable durability and endurance. Consequently, the recognition validates HONOR’s continued push to make foldables just as tough and reliable as traditional flagship smartphones.
Strengthening Its Position in Southeast Asia
Notably, this EISA recognition arrives as HONOR continues gaining momentum across Southeast Asia. According to Omdia’s 2Q26 research, HONOR ranks No. 4 among smartphone brands in both the Philippines and Malaysia, placing the brand among the top five smartphone vendors in both markets.
Furthermore, HONOR achieves this ranking amid a genuinely challenging regional market, with smartphone shipments across Southeast Asia declining 23% year-on-year in 2Q26. Against this backdrop, HONOR’s position among the region’s leading smartphone brands reflects the growing traction of its mid-range and premium offerings. In other words, HONOR continues gaining ground even as the broader market contracts.
Moreover, with the HONOR Magic V6 bringing together foldable innovation, AI capabilities, flagship performance, and enhanced durability, HONOR continues pushing the boundaries of what consumers can expect from premium smartphones.

The HONOR Magic V6 is now available at an SRP of PHP 119,999 in Red, Gold, and White. Additionally, customers who pre-ordered at any HONOR Experience and Partner Store, or online, receive a FREE HONOR Pad X8b worth PHP 12,999 upon claiming their device starting on September 5.
