Samsung has just launched its latest Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, and it seems that Honor did not want to miss the opportunity to take a shot at its latest competitor. The Chinese smartphone maker has shared a post through its UK social media account, comparing the battery capacity and charging speed of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra with its latest Honor Magic V6 and last year’s Honor Magic V5.

Honor Compares Magic V6 Battery and Charging Speed With Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra
While Honor did not explicitly mention the name of Samsung’s foldable smartphone in its post, the mentioned 5,000mAh battery capacity and 45W wired charging specifications match those of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Therefore, the comparison appears to be aimed at Samsung’s latest premium foldable device.
In the post, Honor highlights that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra comes equipped with a 5,000mAh lithium-ion battery, whereas the Honor Magic V5, which was launched in 2025, had already been offering a larger 5,820mAh battery. The latest Honor Magic V6 takes this further with an even bigger 6,660mAh next-generation silicon-carbon battery.
The Magic V6’s battery features 25% silicon content and offers an energy density of up to 921Wh/L, allowing the brand to fit a larger-capacity battery inside its slim foldable body. Honor claims that the Magic V6 can offer up to 24 hours of battery life even when its large inner display is used exclusively. On the other hand, Samsung claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra can offer up to 27 hours of video playback. However, since these claims are based on different testing and usage conditions, they cannot be compared directly.
Not only this, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra supports 45W wired fast charging, whereas the Honor Magic V6 offers faster 80W wired charging support. As per Honor’s comparison, the Magic V6 can charge from 0 to 72% in just 30 minutes. In comparison, the image shared for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra shows it reaching 67% within the same time.
This is clearly Honor’s way of highlighting the battery and charging advantages of its latest foldable, but actual battery performance will depend on real-world usage.
