What you will next in magic os software be next update for functions?

[@Sebilion12]

Thank you for your video! 3 things tthat I don't like about the honor is that it doesn't support LHDC Bluetooth codec, the optical zoom is only 2.5x and the screen is too curved while also having a horrible notch like thing going with the cameras that would be extremely distracting to watch anything full screen with it. Apart from that, looks like a solid performer and good value for the price!

[@JustStephen89]

Can I ask what type of music you'd be listening to. I get that lhdc is higher quality but for most it's really good, I use my OnePlus buds all the time and the audio I get is really impressive. The curve I really like, it's not that bad truthfully,it's ever so slight. And the notch is useful for face detection, and good for portraits. So it does have it's uses, I'm not sure there is a better way of having it I don't think?? It is a solid choice, for most I would say but not perfect for all.. what phone are you looking at ?

[@Sebilion12]

@@JustStephen89 Thank you for your reply! I just bought the oneplus buds pro 3 and they sound really good with my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra. It's a shame it does not have LHDC to check and see if there is a noticeable difference! To be honest, I don't want to buy another Samsung. The battery starts degrading a lot over time, the device gets laggy after only a year and few months and in general I expectted better performance from Samsung. I am checking out the Xiaomi 14 ultra, oneplus 12, honor magic 6 pro and the ZTE nubia z60 ultra leading edition. All of them are available for a relatively good price for my market. I don't want to spend over 1000 euros for a device again. But, I am looking for a smartphone that has at least similar camera performance to my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra. I don't care about the selfie but the back cameras. The only reason that I'm not seriously considering the nubia z60 ultra is that I read a lot of bad comments regarding software updates and security patches. I use my phone for work as well, security is of the utmost importance for me. Anyways, looking forward to seeing more tech reviews from your channel soon! You explain things very precisely! Thanks for that!

[@markedwards7109]

Hey so i was torn between one plus 12 & this phone. I got this one, i am very impressed got to say. Oh btw tjere is microsoft keyboard installed and defalt but also you can change it to g board whicj I prefer. Just type keyboard in setting to change it 👌

[@JustStephen89]

Yeh ino, that was the first seeing I changed, I use gboard. So it's an issue I'm finding with that. It's a great phone I'm just finding a few niggles that annoy me that's all. Overall though. Great

[@markedwards7109]

Oh ok I see maybe try 3rd party one I'm pretty good with it

[@neilmeadows8641]

Very helpful and likeable review. Thank you.

[@JustStephen89]

Appreciate it, thankyou 🙏🏾

[@user-ip8fi4fp3m]

Change your keyboard to Microsoft SwiftKey

[@JustStephen89]

I've used gboard for years and years and is my go to keyboard. The issue isn't gboard but a technical thing with Honor

[@brainbocks]

Great someone brought this up! The typing issue might be a major issue with all honor devices. I use both the honor 90 and honor magic 5 lite as my main phones. They both have this typing issue. I always make typos. For instance, I will have the tip of my finger touch "R" and then "T" is what I get in return. I can't send a whatsapp message or SMS without going back to correct some words. Really annoying. I will be dropping both devices when the my financial situation gets better. Typing sucks with them

[@JustStephen89]

I didn't know it was all honor phones, it can't be just me and you that have had issues then.. Hopefully they can update this? Shouldn't be a hard fix I wouldn't have thought??

[@lukecoe1]

I changed my keyboard to the gboard as that's what I'm used to on my pixel. But I do still think typing doesn't feel as accurate compared to pixel.

[@JustStephen89]

@@lukecoe1 yeh exactly the same, I use gboard and that's my view. It's not the main st accurate for some reason, hopefully with updates it improves. I've updated it today to be honest and so far it's improved. Not had any miss spellings writing this so maybe they found the fix. I like to think they watched my video haha 😂

I'm stuck between this phone and Oppo 7 UltraI which one do you prefer I like the ai features of Honor but or the cameras good ?

[@JustStephen89]

I've not had any hands on time with the oppo, heard and seen good things about it though. Send like a good phone.. The camera on the Honor is really good though, love the pictures that I get out of it

Hi bro what’s the in call quality like? Just as good as iPhone?

[@JustStephen89]

Hi, the call quality is brilliant, I've not had issues at all, nice and clear both ends, also the speakers are excellent so loud speaker is really good as well

[@myasin1286]

@@JustStephen89 👍 very helpful thanks

[@ahmetbozkurt1414]

I was wondering if they added the 4k60fps video recording on front cam with an update. Can you tell me if you got that with the latest update?

[@JustStephen89]

Hi it's still 4k 30fps only. But honestly if you need 60fps just use the rest cameras, there better anyway. I've used the front cameras for all my shorts and the quality is mega. If I need to use slow mo, I'd use my main camera anyway so it's not an issue for me

[@oneaboveall7489]

Can you suggest hm6pro or vivo x100 pro? For overall phone.

[@JustStephen89]

I can't say, I've not used the Vivo. I've never used one, I can only say I've heard good things about it but I've not even seen one in real life lol.. Honor for me it's a great phone and something I'm sure you'll enjoy using however 👍🏾

[@maryam4560]

Which of honor magic 6 pro or Samsung s24 ultra do you highly recommend and why?

[@JustStephen89]

I highly recommend the Honor. Not to say Samsung isn't great because it is. But honor is the new guy so it's trying new things and trying harder to compete. As an up and comer it does everything the Samsung does but more. If you want a phone with the best battery in 2024, hands down this is the one to get. There both fast, there both more than capable. But I'd get another Honor without questions

[@shiro.euphoria]

I have s24u and I'm not very impressed with it honestly. Battery life is OK, the phone is fast, but I don't like cameras mostly. Camera doesn't have "sport" or similar function for moving objects. Brightness is kinda weird. Focusing is not good in auto mode. I bought it for a very good price though. Thinking of moving to magic 6pro. Battery life and processor is similar, camera is better in some ways (m6pro lacks good zooming).

[@VENOM.9217]

Hello, what do you recommend, Xiaomi 14 Ultra or Honor Magic 6 Pro?

[@JustStephen89]

I've never got hands on with the Xiaomi. But I had the 13t and that was a great phone so I'd say if it's an improvement on that which I'm sure it was then it's a great phone. The Honor I've had lots of experience with and can comfortably recommend this to everyone. It's good at almost everything 👍🏾. I'd go for the Honor because you get better deals and it's cheaper 👌🏾

[@VENOM.9217]

@@JustStephen89thank you

[@cristinaalmasi]

the phone was released in January, how can you have it for 8 months?

[@JustStephen89]

It was actually released at the beginning of March. I've had it since then, not 8 months ago, that's my mistake. However it would be near enough 8 months if it was January?

[@skywerk548]

I'm torn between Magic6 pro, Mate 60 pro and the Pura 70 pro...

[@JustStephen89]

Do you want access to Google store without having to do work around and all that stuff? If you do you have to rule out the Huawei. I've not had any time with the Pura so I cnt give an opinion. But my opinion on the Honor is that it's one of the best 2024 phones you can get. Without any doubts

[@skywerk548]

​@@JustStephen89 Thanks. I'm totally fine without the google store-apps. The less google bloat the better imo. I am leaning towards the Magic6 tho as it is a well rounded phone.. They are in a similar price range, quality and specs.. Too many choices :)

[@thundra9913]

As an old Matepad 11 user ( SD 865 ) and P20 pro, Huawei is still a viable choice of smartphone. The absence of Google is easily replaced by G Box and other stores ( Aurora Store which emulates the Play Store without Google ). On the software side, if you know what you're doing, you can go. The only downside is the lack of 5G, which you need today. And the price too, the Magic 6 Pro cost less than Mate 60 Pro and Pura 70 line up ( in this economy I'd rather save for something else ). It all depends on your needs. Compare the smartphones, their pros and cons and you'll get your choice ( Me personally, because Honor and it's software reminds me of Emui, my next smartphone is Honor magic 6 Pro or a Xperia 1 V )

[@karolsendrei3152]

Is this the native honor keyboard? Swiftkey?

[@JustStephen89]

Yeh the native one is Swiftkey. I use Gboard though

[@talal7783]

I have iPhone 14 pro max should i go to honor magic 6 pro ???

[@JustStephen89]

It's a big jump to go iOS to android or the other way. What's your thinking behind it? It's a great phone the Honor and id recommend it to anyone as it's features are jam packed. What you get on this phone and how fast and reliable it is with a whopper of a battery put it right at the top of lists for me. But for an iPhone user, they make it so hard to get out of iOS, if your wanting an android for a while I'd say yes definitely go for it

[@THEMrFill]

learn to swipe type, it solves 95%+ of typing issues like you're having try different camera apps - it's changing the colour because of the lens/sensor you're using for that shot

[@JustStephen89]

Lol I'm a pro at swipe type but sometimes you need to press individual letters and that's where the problem lies. Any recommendations about the camera app? I use the stock one at the minute. If think for a flagship phone it should have done better when it comes to the camera's, not that they are bad because there not but certainly fine tuning bits of it to make it overall a better camera app and camera phone 👍🏾

[@FactsBeFacts]

When you uploaded this video the Magic 6 had only been released for 6 months. Today, it has been out for 6 months & 9 days. So where are you getting this 8 months from?

[@JustStephen89]

I already addressed this in another comment. I got the dates wrong that's my bad.

[@esportshighlights5050]

Can u do pubg 120fps test on honor magic 6 pro with FPS meter

[@JustStephen89]

I don't play games really on my phone. Pubg would work perfectly fine at 120fps because it's a beast of a phone and it's powerful. I don't really do FPS meters or tests like that, best tests are using it and it handles everything really well

[@daviddrew7624]

Great video, if your happy with your phone that's all that matters, I have the samsung s22ultra, and I've yet to see anything that's worth upgrading to as there are no large camera upgrades that are big improvements over what the s22 ultra give me so ill be keeping it for a while yet 👍

[@JustStephen89]

Very true, it's a great phone.. I won't be upgrading unless it's a big improvement on my current phone, I'd like to get my hands on phones like the cmf 1 however because it's quirky

[@mohannadnasser7433]

The keyboard needs to be higher

[@JustStephen89]

I don't mind the keyboard placement.. I think it's in the right place. I use swipe texting a lot and it's perfect for that. But when I use 2 hands that's when I have issues

[@daviddrew7624]

If I'm honest I find that people who type fast generally send messages that don't make a lot of sense😂😂😂

@@JustStephen89 yeah, back in the day they were the same. Huawei and honor both has been banned from USA and Europe

Stuck between getting the Xiaomi 14 ultra or s24 ultra...great! Now im stuck with this magic 6 pro as well...😢😂

[@JustStephen89]

I've recently used a Xiaomi device.. loved it, really loved it. But it was the 13t pro and the camera was pants. That was the only downside,apart from that it was a brilliant phone. The 14 has top cameras so a great choice. Samsung will be Samsung, great phone I'm sure. I just think if you think of android you think of Samsung, so I tried to look outside the box. Only reason I went for something different. Honor is making some great phone and this is definitely a great phone. A great choice but all 3 are great 👍🏾
