EDITORIAL: Honor turned on the heat with V6 by redesigning the hinge, getting the IP69 protection and putting a 6600mAh battery into a 4mm thick phone (when opend). Pictures V6 takes are probably better then what any other foldable can make, videos are solid but the phone shines in all things software with tons of features, 7 years of Magic OS updates and a full multi window, multitasking environment on it's inner screen and beyond.
PROs
excellent build, only 8.8mm thick when folded, fast Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance (but will throttle heavily under very big load), excellent 36hr endurance for a foldable with a 6660mAh Si-C battery (bigger in China models) and sub-60min 80W (66W wireless) charging, 2 >400ppi LTPO OLED Dolby Vision screens with 4320Hz high PWM dimming, cover screen has >1600nits of brightness, full IP69 protection - a first on a foldable phone, excellent 50MP 23mm OIS main + 64MP 70mm OIS telephoto + 50MP 13mm ultrawide (all PDAF) setup, 2 20MP 21mm selfie cameras, good video recording, extensive list of AI and other features in MagicOS with 7 years of OS updates, multi window desktop replacement with very fast USB-C 3.1 with Display Port and OTG, stylus support on both screens,
CONs
the inner screen has sub-1200nits brightness, no AF on selfie cameras (but you'll probably use the main camera for selfies on a foldable), no expandable memory, no stylus included in the box

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, charging and imaging performance) Apple's first foldable phone is an impressive feat of hardware engineering and a very competitive entry into the segment. It should have great performance, above average endurance (for a foldable) and solid imaging despite compromises on tele and selfie hardware. Arriving later then other announced products. Its name could indicate lack of commitment to annual upgrades.
PROs
excellent design & build, fast A20 Pro (2nm) chip with NVMe memory performance, ~42hr endurance from a (2 piece) 5400mAh "high-energy lithium-ion battery" with sub-60min 60W (25W wireless) charging, 460ppi (430 inner) 120Hz LTPO OLED screens with Dolby Vision (outer screen supports pen input), full IP68 protection (down to 6m!), excellent 48MP 26mm OIS PDAF main + 48MP 13mm PDAF ultrawide setup, 2 average selfie cameras (but you will use the main setup on a foldable), great video recording, basic multi-window feature in a mature and feature rich iOS with 6 years of updates, fast USB-C 3.2 with Display Port functionality, excellent for the first foldable, global availability
CONs
difficult one-hand use, big and 250g heavy for a pocket, ~1000nits (dim) screen, no tele lens, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality (despite having Display Port), very expensive
