In a recent leak reported by tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Honor Magic 6 series promises a visually striking design, setting it apart in the smartphone market. The highlight of this series is the quad-curved OLED display, adorned with a dual punch-hole configuration neatly arranged in a pill-shaped cutout.

The rear camera arrangement of the anticipated "medium cup" and "large cup" models, believed to be the Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro, introduces an almost circular design. Notably, this design seamlessly blends elements from the successful Magic 5 series while incorporating the cutting-edge design seen in Huawei's Mate X5 foldable phone.

Adding to the intrigue, the lineup includes an "extra large cup" model, likely the Magic 6 Ultimate, featuring a distinctive squarish camera island with rounded corners. The leaked information also hints at a special Porsche Design variant, continuing Honor's tradition of collaborating with premium brands.

Huawei, since 2016 with the Mate 9 Porsche Design, has consistently launched special edition Mate-series flagships featuring renowned brands. However, recent reports suggest a shift, replacing Porsche Design with Huawei's own premium brand, the Ultimate Design. This transition is evident in the inclusion of the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design variant in the Mate 60 lineup.

Under the hood, the Magic 6 series is set to be powered by the formidable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, promising a high-performance user experience.
