Honor Magic 6 Pro Hands-On: 180MP Periscope Zoom with Large Sensor!

[@danielchristiansen3081]

So happy you're the first guy to Review ( 1st Impressions ) with the Honor magic 6 Pro ... Really keen to see how it does in comparison to the competition and against the Magic 5 Pro ( Truly think Honor is such a underrated company and I hope we get the Magic 8 OS and the 6 Pro globally )

Vivo X100 pro got an update on it's selfie camera video , now it can record 4k 30 fps and 60fps at the same time

[@azzadhadiz6304]

Great feature and most importantly it can switch to selfie cam like Samsung ❤

[@harun.hussein]

does the selfie camera have auto focus?

[@kylorokx1552]

Now, I'm thinking of buying it

[@delpinsky]

A comparison with Vivo updated, would be definitely the way to go! Vivo X100 Pro really intrigues me. Do you know how many years of Android major releases Vivo gives to customers?

[@Yddp3307]

​@@delpinskyfrom what i know it will be 3 years of major android software update, 4 years of security update

[@TheChazas]

Absolutely bonkers Persicope camera, natural depth is so sublime and detail are on point.

[@Youtube-Censorship-Police]

to be fair, the magic 5 pro also had pretty nice depth of field on the tele, but this guy's review of the hm5p was really half-assed.

[@TheChazas]

@@KZbin-Censorship-Police With phones having larger sensors with periscope style lens and wider aperture, it produces nice results. I absolutely loved using 4X on Pixel 6 Pro when it came out, it was my most used lens for portraits without any need of portrait mode. And now phones doing periscopes with even wider aperture than f/ 3.0 is super nice. Magic6 Pro must have the most intense natural blur yet with its persicope it being 1/1.4" sensor and with wide f/2.6 aperture. Can't wait to see more "continuous optical zoom" style persicope implementation like Sony does.

[@Felix21411]

I just can't wait for this. I have the M 5 pro and I absolutely adore it. In terms of software, as an ex Huawei user, this is the best thing ever. Thank you Honor.

[@michamaecki5678]

It's really like old good Huawei? My last Huawei was mate 20 pro and after that I got iPhone 11 and pixel 6a. Looking to upgrade this year to a flagship and wondering if it's better to get Honor Magic 6 pro, Vivo x100 pro or wait for Pixel 9 (really love clean android).

[@Felix21411]

​​​​@@michamaecki5678it is. Sorry for the late response. Most of the features are there including gimmicky stuff like mirror or mirror compass. You do get the good stuff. Great screen, 3D face unlock, the SEARCH SCOPE (best feature on a smartphone), desktop mode, etc...I have the Pixel 7 pro as well and I love the pics and some picture related software as well as the design, but HM 5 pro is a different beast. Better everything in my biased view 😂. I have to say, I don't like the vanilla android. Have an older Pixel 4A 5g as well...meh. Tried different stuff after Huawei's ban. As soon as HM 6 pro gets here in Europe, I'll grab it even if the 5 looks like it could take on the world for another 5 years. For me, after seeing a few devices, the HM 5 pro is the best smartphone of 2023. Battery, screen, packed with features, fast shutter (faster than Iphone's), also quick transitions in the camera, that 3D face unlock with a small cutout that doesn't feel intrusive. I'm addicted. Biased reviewers who can't see through samsung and apple are a desease. I wish people would give this a try for two weeks and talk later.

[@chandrakaladhar1182]

That camera bump of this phone looks crazy.. Your presentation is always great

[@petouser]

I'm really looking forward to a further detailed review. I really like that they are using a 180 MP sensor for telephoto, so you get really good zoom photos over different zoom ranges. Also that they are using 28mm standard focal range, which feels more natural and less unnecessarily wide. You are also probably the first trustworthy reviewer, making video about this device.

[@shubamnarayan4581]

Been following your channel for sometime.No Bullshit, straight to the point with details/samples about the device,no unnecessary yapping,quick videos after release,..keep it up 👍👍 Same with lim reviews and few other channels

[@redfieldmarkz1963]

I got the Magic 5 Pro last year and Im lovin it. Battery life just excellent and the camera is exceptional. Got it for 740 usd 12 + 512. The only thing feels weird to me is the camera cutout position at the corner, now at the center is so much better.

[@Rawanddd]

Where did you get it for 740?? Used?

[@redfieldmarkz1963]

@@Rawanddd no, brand new

[@PatrickWithCamera]

28mm main and 70mm portrait seems like ideal setup, iphone and samsung are too wide focal for main camera and too tight for telephoto, making it more difficult to use for family pics, this one seems like a win already, win on paper, can't wait for your review!

[@sxepantFTW]

can't wait to compare this to X100 Ultra upcoming this year.

[@CallMiMarvin]

Thank you for traveling so much that we can see very early the newest phones (and not only Apple, Google and Samsung). 🙏🏼🥰

[@x3merx3mer]

I knew you'll be the first one to get it. Nice work I switched to Magic 5 pro after a looong streak of S ultras and I'm loving it. The only thing i'm missing is ability to change the background blur of the photos already taken. Makes me not wanna shoot portraits at all. Please tell me thats added!? ...and i did have to restart the phone a few times which never happened with ultras (3x in 6 months, so its not that bad). ...but overall the speed is great, cameras are amazing, the battery life is the best one out there for sure!

One of the best camera reviews I've seen for the Honor Magic 6 pro. You highlights his strengths and his weaknesses. I notice at night the stabilization gets all jittery but the camera itself actually picks up lot of details, which was my main worry on other videos. Image remains very good but it's more about that jitter on the OIS!

in 5:49 you can read that info on the picture that x100 took but on the Honor, it's not readable (at least for me) it seems like they using Denoise software but why, you already using a good camera setup why do you need to Denoise it too much (compared to x100 in my opinion it's too much)

Wondering how many android update will this phone get. Unable to get details regarding this. 😢

[@atemkeng33]

Thanks for your efforts, Ben, really appreciate it. I am drawn to buy Honor 6 magic pro, Vivo x100 pro, Xiaomi 14 pro , Xiaomi 14, Pocco x6 pro or to wait for the x100 pro+ and Xiaomi 14 ultra. I live in Germany and I am fine with an English menue. Currebtly owning a Huawei mate 10 pro and any of these phones will be a big upgrade. Most important 3 things for me are: photography/cameras, battery life and stability when it drops down since I have kids and want to use my phone another 5-6 years...

I bought Vivo x100 pro and I am very pleased with the phone battery, cameras and stability so far. Is a great phone. The only 2 things that for me could be done better are : 1. Flat screen and add some gorilla glass protection 2. The fingerprint scanner could have been added or a bit more to the middle of the phone or on the power button for more natural hand position .

That would be interesting.

[@TheDiveWatcher]

You said that honor will be releasing a global version as well? I hope so. I would be interested in this device. I just want it to have Android Auto to work in the US. I used to be a huge Huawei fan until the ban. Huawei lives on through Honor in my opinion and I hope Honor makes more of a push to become a major flagship here in the US because it's very slim pickings in regards to true flagships here in the US. Apple and Samsung might as well merge at this point and I wouldn't be surprised if they do. Ridiculous how much control they rain over here in the US.

[@Nathan.1882]

you should try it. Coming from a Magic 5 pro user, the downside is the periscope which i feel they should have fixed in Magic 6 pro.

[@joshuabergeman354]

You can't really blame Honor or any of the other Chinese brands for not wanting to even try breaking into the US market. The unfortunate truth is that the risk is just too high.

[@TheDiveWatcher]

@@Nathan.1882 I'm definitely going to try and get one. I'm in the market at the moment and had been planning on the OnePlus 12 but I have missed Huawei ever since and I'm really hoping that Honor enters the US flagship scene. The US has two to three flagship options to choose from and that's due to this monopoly that controls the US mobile industry. I can't remember their name ;😲 Great review man!

[@nikytamayo]

No need to apologize. Any video from you is a treat, however off-the-cuff it is! That periscope lens has a really funky cut-out. I wonder if it's shaped to prevent reflections and flare. Gobsmacked that Honor is going for such a large sensor with so many pixels. This has the potential to be a portrait photo monster. Disappointed Honor hasn't yet hit the 1" zone, but 1/1.3" is still decent in this day and age. What's the sensor size on the ultra-wide? Kind of disappointed nobody seems to be spending on them nowadays, as I love the big 1/1.5" ultrawide on my old Mate.

[@RaizelSX]

Speaking of updates, I would like to see how the some of those phone photos look 1 year apart after having the updates and stabilty implemented. I wonder how much better or worse it had gotten in certain areas. Also i wonder why we dont just have bigger sensors all across the board. S20 ultra has 40Front, 12UWide, 108Wide, 28Zoom. What would 50 all across the board look like? Whould this help the phones take better pics since you won't have to calibrate to difdernt lenses or would it being a false sense of stability?
