In a stunning display of engineering brute force, global AI ecosystem leader HONOR has shattered records by using its upcoming foldable smartphone, the HONOR Magic V6, to tow a 1.25-tonne Diamond DA42 aircraft for 150 meters across the tarmac. Staged at the SkyPark Regional Aviation Centre, the spectacular stunt officially secured an ASIA Record for the “Heaviest Aircraft Towed by a Foldable Smartphone.” Serving as a dramatic preview ahead of its Malaysian launch on June 4, 2026, the ultra-slim 8.75mm device also pulled a Ferrari sports car for 30 meters and was used as a fully functional pull-up bar, emerging from the trials completely unscathed and in perfect working condition.

This incredible physical resilience stems directly from the HONOR Super Steel Hinge, which boasts an industry-leading tensile strength of 2,800 MPa, surpassing the structural steel pillars used in modern passenger cars. Designed to withstand intensive daily use, the hinge has cleared 500,000 folding cycles, ensuring over 13 years of reliable performance, while an innovative AI-assisted bionic cushioning architecture disperses impact forces to protect complex internal components from drops.

The external face of the smartphone matches the internal chassis for pure durability, utilizing the next-generation HONOR Anti-Scratch Nano Crystal Shield. Forged with a 5,600-layer silicon nitride coating, it delivers a massive 10-times improvement in drop resistance and a 15-times increase in scratch protection, even walking away unmarked after a high-intensity wire brush drill test. Unfolding the device reveals an expansive, near-zero crease canvas powered by the HONOR Magic Diamond Screen with flexible Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG).

Rounding out its unprecedented durability portfolio, the Magic V6 is the first foldable to concurrently achieve IP68 and IP69 dust and water-resistance ratings, meaning it can handle high-pressure water jets and fresh water submersion up to 1.5 meters deep.
Malaysian consumers eager to secure the next-generation flagship can choose from four distinct colourways: Ferghana Red, Sunrise Gold, Ivory White, and Classic Black. The official rollout will begin during a localized launch livestream scheduled for June 4, 2026, at 8:00 PM via HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page, with comprehensive specifications available on the brand’s official web portal.
