Honor Magic 6 Pro review | The Anti-iPhone

The Honor Magic 6 Pro could be the least iPhone-like phone out right now. Its design is very not-Apple, the quad-curved screen is as un-iPhone-like as they come, and the cameras think very differently, especially when compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. If you think that's a bad thing, think again! Hono's created one of the best and most interesting smartphones of 2024. So while the Honor Magic 6 Pro won't be for everyone, it's unlikely to disappoint most.

For me, this one is, easily, the best phone I've ever seen. Don't see any other brand dethroning it, during 2024.
Seriously, a well rounded device, doesn't lack in any department. Not the best in everything, but even if its zoom capabilities aren't as good as, lets say oppo find x7 ultra's, or vivo x100 pro's, it is still very close, and, in my opinion, up to 10x zoom magic 6 pro nailed it. Best in class screen coupled with, what it seems like the best screen protection coating on the market, the most recent battery tech, fast charging, awesome UI, decent enough software support (longevity vise, could be faster with android version updates)... Latest and greatest, when it comes to chipset (yeah, I'm looking at you Samsung and your Exynos again), punchy enough speakers. All in all, I'm amazed how they managed to cramp all these phone features onto that dslr. Well done Honor, well done indeed. :)

did you take any macro photos yet and what's your experience with them? thx

[kotarprimoz]

Aperture switches between f1.4-2.0 and not f1.6-2.0 like you said.

Would be nice to have a comparative review between the OnePlus 12 and the Honor Magic 6 Pro. :-)

[laur_asante]

But why didn't you say anything about the resistance of the screen and the battery technology and especially that it has an autonomy even in very heavy (cold) conditions. Too bad, but whoever wants this phone is better interested in what he can.

[paulvinod]

Do a camera comparison btwn Op 12 & Magic pro 6

Dont know if you still need this but yes, you can turn on the torch while filming. RAM and notification management is extremely aggressive but you can go disable that in the settings. Its not a perfect fix but its much better than automatically optimizing.

Thank you for reviewing how much the temperature reaches when you play on it 2 hours

If you watch youtube for non stop how long does the battery last and also if you play games like call of duty how long does it last and what about performance in the games will it be smooth fast or does have lag and also does it get hot when you play games?

[wdr]

The video sample is too saturated. Does it have color profiles for video like 'natural' ?

Hello from the UK. Great review, liked it a lot, balanced and straight to the point no fluff.

Some questions about the Honor if you have a moment:
1. Can you turn on the torch while taking photos or videos? Can the torch be used as a light source while filming? (Samsung phones can't!)
2. Does the camera support 16:9 format photos?
3. Any issues. problems with notifications?
4. How aggressive is this phone in closing up opened apps, can it hold a decent amount of apps in the RAM?
Thank you in advance. :-)

[robertjensen]

Assuming that if I buy one for use here in the USA it will work fine if I am only getting it for the camera and occasional updates using wifi?

Hi from Australia. I am a huge Huawei fan. I have a P30 Pro and all wearables that go with it. Unfortunately, I have to get a new phone, but i need the google services. Should I get another P30 pro, or should I upgrade to the Honor Magic 6 pro? Can I use the Huawei apps like AI Life and the Huawei health app on the Honor magic 6 pro.

How does the honor magic 6 pro compare to the Oppo x7 ultra?
