A proper Ultra competitor! - Honor Magic 6 Pro review

This is a phone that should be up there with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but you can't buy it in the US. Why is that the case? Find out in this video!

[@Captaincoolmax]

Camera & Software is more of a issue than availablity

[@cryptoafc7655]

100%... I hate that UI

[@arkvsi8142]

Why

[@smarterphone6863]

I have honor 90 camera terrific ui smooth but update lacking and little amount of features

just install a rom (idk how hard it will so tread at your own risK)

[@dhanilks4898]

I had been on EMUI for almost 7 years & the software experience is phenomenally fluid. Never slowed a bit. I really miss all those EMUI interface experience, as I had moved into a motorola phone recently.

[@FusionHyperion]

recent huawei phones have GMS thanks to MicroG project so you can experience it back :)

[@rajasekarwrites]

Same unavailable situation goes to SONY phones too

[@ashishdhingra8034]

Thanks. I was looking for this exact comment.

[@El_Hamzoh]

Software is the issue with these phones why try copy iOS when the best thing about android is android itself. If I wanted an android that looks like iPhone I’d just get an iPhone.

[@malikomar909]

android is not about how it looks . even if the honor look similar to ios its better because its android

[@wheelyflac]

Fun fact , dynamic island was first introduced by honor v20 years ego and the feature was called capsule pill. The implementation was the same only difference was the punch hole cam In the top left side of the screen.

[@BLKW4RDR3M0N]

An android that has a UI reminiscent of an iPhone is still an Android and has all the strengths of one. Side loading amongst other things on an iPhone are just things you're better off staying away from.

[@jimmyjims3245]

It's still android tho even if it looks like an iphone, and the price difference is big if you'll get an iphone lol

i would be happy with the regular magic 6 if they would release it global but right now only the pro it's global and it's too much for me and i will stay with my tiny Zenfone 9 for now

[@cruizer4356]

I think Huawei & Honour phones have that iOS copy skin because the phones are meant for Chinese market, and people probably like iOS copy skins over there since all major android smartphone manufacturers have iOS copied skins - Xiaomi's MIUI, Meizu's Flyme OS, Huwae/Honor's EMUI & only recently Oppo & vivo started moving away from copying iOS but the inspiration is still there in Colour os & funtouch os respectively

[@haorantao612]

They would be mocked if the copy was too obvious lol. I personally think that it is such a good thing that they are trying to match the smoothness, stability, and aesthetics of Apple. Not a lot of Android brands are doing this (shout out to Samsung who still can't make proper transition animation and fast charging😡)

[@cruizer4356]

[@haorantao612]

@@cruizer4356 it is really a subtle difference that most people won't notice up front, but once you use it daily and more often, it'll pop up a lot more and compromise the experience. Not sure how to describe it, but it's almost like your gesture and the response of the phone does not really match from time to time, and that uncertainty really impacts the confidence (?).

[@Polemusk]

Samsung flagships are screwed up by their bloated software running all garbage in the background.

[@eziofilho99]

@@YippieKiYeaMFer if you ever tried a third party launcher with the navigation gestures you know it's a mess. Being honest, honor's launcher is better than Samsung's (at least it has a vertical app drawer), but it's all of the system UIs like the control center, notifications shade, lock screen and etc that is too iOS like.

Unfortunately, while I can purchase the global version of this in Canada, it is actually more expensive than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Also, the telephoto camera fall flat, even with the high MP count. It just doesn't keep up with the other phones. Also wish Honor was better with software updates. Otherwise, solid but not sure it's worth the import hassle due to the above.

[@dr.fitprofessor4363]

First off, it's not difficult to smoke the performance of the pixel 8 pro. Lol. No offense, the tensor chipsets are less than scintillating. Secondly, this phone does have unbelievable specifications but, the design language is absolutely awful. Especially, the camera housing on the back. Finally, some people may not be aware of who the parent company of this company is but, I know. Furthermore, that parent company is a huge risk to the national security of this country. To that end, I am more than happy to purchase my devices elsewhere.

I hate bigger batteries since it requires more energy to charge up, when a literal iPhone can do it for less. I wish that more android phones were more efficient and didnt have big capacity batteries.

[@toyib3174]

iphone battery sucks tho..not only its one of the shortest sot among flagship,charging it also take much longer time compare to other flagship despite smaller battery

[@joe064770]

Lol, this thing's much larger battery capacity still charges itself faster than the much smaller battery capacity on any iphones, even though the charger omission in Honor's box is ridiculous. Plus, every phone's battery capacity degrades over time, might as well have a bigger one then.

[@PrimePixelYoutube]

@toyib3174 That can be improved, its just that Applenis so conservative for no reason. Android companies can easily put better charging ports on those.

[@PrimePixelYoutube]

@@joe064770 I mean other manufacturers can learn from that and support higher charging speeds. But if two phones have basically the same battery life, despite one having a bigger battery capacity, wouldn't it still defeat the purpose of the battery degrading?
