The strongest camera in its foldable class, anchored by a stabilized 64MP 3x periscope. The ultrawide is the weak link, and it still trails the best slab phones on fine detail.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is a camera-first phone — four 50MP cameras with Leica tuning, a 1" variable-aperture main sensor, and an accessory grip that turns it into a proper mirrorless workflow. The consensus across Wired, PetaPixel, Phone Arena, Android Authority, and Android Headlines: best camera phone of 2023.
Honor Magic V6
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with the best sustained behaviour in the foldable class — it holds frames far longer than rivals before any throttling.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 + 16GB RAM delivers flagship-class performance with strong thermal headroom — Xiaomi's tune is among the best of 2023 SD 8 Gen 2 phones for sustained tasks.
Honor Magic V6
The headline: the biggest battery ever in a foldable, delivering slab-phone endurance in a 4mm-thin body, with fast wired/wireless charging and a 120W charger in the box.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra
5,000mAh battery + class-leading 90W wired and 50W wireless charging — Reddit's drain shootout placed it ahead of S22 Ultra, OnePlus 11, and Pixel 7 Pro at 10h 26min total SOT.
Honor Magic V6
It out-specs the Galaxy Z Fold 7 on nearly every axis, but it's expensive and hard to buy officially in the West — value depends heavily on import pricing and config.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra
The 13 Ultra's value proposition depends entirely on region — at 5,999 yuan ($870) in China it's a steal; at €1,500 European import or US grey-market it's premium-priced and a niche purchase. Galaxy S23 Ultra at $1,199 wins the official-availability + 4+5-year update fight.
