Honor Magic 6 Pro vs Magic 5 Pro - Camera Comparison

The brand new flagship from Honor the #Magic6Pro has to compete against its predecessor in this very detailed camera comparison. Which one comes on top? Let's find out.
I explore the photo and video performance after the newest Update 8.0.0.127 for the Magic 6 Pro to see how well it can compete in light and dark conditions with various different lenses, portrait and macro tests.

What do you think about the performance of the Magic 6 Pro? Is it a good sucessor to the Magic 5 Pro?

Awesome content and camera comprision as always brother

Great work. I loved the RAW sample comparison part, I wish that you include more of this in the future with more smaples because in that one shot you provided, the focus wasn't matched.
Best of luck.

Thanks a ton, great review, helped me to stay on my Magic 5 Pro, instead of upgrading.

Brother, please make a video between M6P and M7P in the same manner...your way showing difference is rare and highly appreachiated your efforts.

Im very satisfied with Magic 6 Pro. I changed from Mate 50 Pro, so its very smooth, due that the sw environment is very similar and gesture control is same. What is better for me in 6 days of use after buy, is sound from speakers, is more detailed with more "bass", camera give more details than on Mate 50 Pro. battery life is longer, in my case its 0, 5 day longer (I using it with 2 SIM cards: private and work number). only one cons after these few days of use is when I played with the camera especialy only focusing on objects/ people less then 5 minuts the Magic 6 Pro began to feel noticeably warm and Huawei was still cold. One cons which that disappeared is a weight of the device - more than 220g is about habit. Feeling the weight in my hand and in my trouser pocket :)

Your detailed comparison is incredibly good.👍👏🥇

[JohnHasio]

[Milkyway-nvzi]

MY THOUGHTS :

19:22 i MUCH prefer the less processed image of the magic 6 pro
22:05 idk, it feels like the magic 6 pro is overexposing a very little too much, but again the processing is better overall and there is more details

25:20 I don't understand how it is possible to have such a bad zoom on the magic 6 pro going after like 10 times (or even maybe 6 / 7 times zoom lol)... seriously this is very bad and sad, they have to optimize this urgently

28:55 would have liked to see the result with the 1.4 aperture

32:18 : why is there so much "bouncing" with the lights on those chinese phones ? it is so bad when in low light conditions, I am pretty sure this is coming from the strong EIS they are implementing, they have to fix this (if not on the 6 pro, in their next phone) because this is very bad lol
doesn't seem to do it that badly on the 5 pro, so they can fix this on the 6 pro... this is one of the thing that are just blocking me from buying the 6 pro to be honest

34:05 i find the magic 6 pro much better overall, the branch on the trees are dark as they should be, you can discern them much better, no "blob" effects, on the tree trunk
you can see it at 34:35, more details, more natural colors (the tree is illuminated a little, then the more you go up in the tree and in the branches, the more it starts to darken), the grass is more natural and way more refined than on the 5 pro too with better colors (5 pro = grass having the same color in the foreground and background, while 6 pro you can see the different shade of green)
+ the 6 pro is less overexposed so it is very good (overexposing is seriously bad from my point of view), the 6 pro doesn't try to get useless / unnatural details from things that are too dark, it is a VERY VERY nice behavior, I hope they'll keep up in this way of processing

2.5 times zoom in this scenario, magic 6 pro maybe a tad too much ISO ? but otherwise, going to 5x, again i prefer this processing against the 5 pro, less processing / noise reduction, love this

the selfie, again 5 pro overexposed, 6 pro very good exposure I love this behavior, good job honor on this, hopefully they fixed overexposure on day time too (since you made the day time shots before this update)



THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO DUDE

amazing video, very detailed, nice shots, nice scene that gives us a lot of information about the behavior of the two phones, you show us a lot of things (and even if I can have a different analysis than you, that's not a problem, you showed us what we had to see)

thank you very much for your work dude, amazing videos, looking forward to all your tests, videos, reviews... lol

[gioplantasrn]

In my opinion, it is much better to stay with HM5Pro and wait for HM8Pro or HM9Pro.
But at the end of the day pictures and simple videos matter along with call and text.

[markcaiger-watson]

Would be great to see a comparison with a pixel 7 or 8 pro. Great job though! I'm so close to buying the M6P!

[mrkcwan]

The end spreadsheer summary is good, but perhaps as a suggestion the last column total rating could convert the 4.XXX three decimal places rating into a percentage score out of 100 so its more digestible. 87%, 91% etc

[balloonredd]

can you do a video comparing the bright, natural, and texture shooting modes on m6p?

[adamdugosz]

Thanks for comparsion. I have m5p and i think about change to m6p but now, after this test i change my mind. Meaby ill wait for Honor 5 ultra or vivo x100 plus, dunno :d

[jacobfiso]

Great video sir, I'll wait to upgrade. I might even switch to a Xiaomi 14 ultra for a change 👌🏾

[VladykaDemonov]

Just for consideration, maybe zoom camera score must have more weight than uw?
