Honor Magic V6 paparazzi-shot in Milan-Cortina: the foldable is at the Winter Olympics

Among Honor ambassadors we also have Xu Mengtao, a renowned professional skier who in these days has claimed gold on the occasion of the Winter Olympics. Not only did the Chinese athlete win the prestigious prize, but she also was papped in the company of Honor Magic V6, the upcoming flagship foldable – expected in the next few days on the Barcelona MWC stage.

Look premium and sporty soul: Honor Magic V6 in the hands of Olympic champion Xu Mengtao

Xu Mengtao has permanently etched her name in the history of sport. The Chinese ace, already strong with numerous World Cup successes, has reached the pinnacle of her career at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. On the snow of Livigno, venue for freestyle competitions, Mengtao won the gold medal in women’s freestyle skiing.

Shortly after the victory, the athlete appeared with a folding smartphone in her hands: almost certainly it was the Honor Magic V6 and the reason is simple. The phone is not clearly visible but just recently Honor announced the new brand ambassador is the champion herself.

Apparently Mengtao is a big foldable enthusiast, since in these days she was spotted with Huawei Mate XT, the tri-fold of the Chinese giant. Regarding Honor’s flagship, debut is expected for the 1st March: it will be announced during a dedicated event, on the eve of the MWC (from 2 to 5 March).

In realtà questa non è la prima volta che Honor Magic V6 viene avvistato dal vivo: nei giorni scorsi la versione rossa è apparsa nelle mani di Nicholas Tse, attore e cantante canadese originario di Hong Kong, impegnato in quelle che sembravano essere le riprese di uno spot.
