HONOR Magic 6 Pro Review

[@MarcYeoTechReview]

One of the best phones in 2024....awesome camera and gaming performance... Still my daily driver until now

[@412Kamikaze]

Has the zoom camera received any updates? I really like the phone, but the zoom performance degrades quickly. Has this been improved with updates?

[@PRforteletubes]

No it hasn't I daily one too. Up 10x is fine but never find myself taking big zoom photos often.

[@ismailakram]

Not sure why I didn't like the camera on this phone. I prefer the OnePlus 12 camera over the Honor Magic 6 Pro. Also Honor Magic 6 Pro in Netflix HDR wasn't a great experience as I was really a fan of Netflix experience on Magic 5 Pro. I sold mine after 2 weeks of usage. Though I have re-ordered the phone to give it another try. I hope in 2 months they have fixed the Netflix quality.

I was adamant I wanted the black but when I went in store and saw the black and green side by side, I went for the green. Pictures and videos don't do it justice. It is a very eye-catching phone, and it looks awesome. I currently get 2 days off the battery depending on my use. The cameras are so good and yes even the zoom up to about 30x. Wherever I go, everyone wants the pics I take. Most don't mention this, but the speakers are absolutely mind blowing in my opinion. It is loud and has decent bass. I only use the 3d facial recognition because it is so fast and even works in banking and other apps. It is so nice to have the option of both fingerprint for when you're not looking directly at the screen and facial recognition for when you're out and about and accessing apps that use biometric log in.

How is the 100x zoom? Has it improve since the early release version?

[@SDav21]

@@f50koenigg I recently received a software update which mentions it included camera optimizations. To be honest, 100x zoom isn't really usable on any phone. The trump card of this 2.5x zoom with a wide aperture is that even at night, the zoom is excellent. The zoom lenses on the S24u and iPhone 15 Pro Max have much smaller apertures which isn't great in low light. When I zoom to 10x or even 20x at night, the zoom is way way better than that on the S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max of my friends. I see why Honor did the zoom this way. 100x may not be the best but it is way more versatile in the more usable zoom ranges up to 30x because it takes good zoom pics in the day and at night which can't be said for any other phone. And I'd rather have this than better 100x zoom which is actually pointless. Because even on the S24 Ultra, the 100x zoom pics are not usable. Perhaps clearer but do you ever really need to zoom that far? One thing they did add was moon mode. So when I zoom in to the moon the picture is amazing! It's probably an AI thing but it's mind blowing and so clear.

​@@f50koenigg To be honest, 100x zoom is not usable on any phone. The trump card of the way Honor has done this zoom is that it has the widest aperture of any other competitor periscope zoom lens which lets in a lot more light. It takes way better zoom shots at night than the S24u and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The zoom is really good up to 30x. I would rather have this which is more versatile and usable in more scenarios than a slightly better 100x zoom since 100x photos are pointless on any phone. It is a much more useful zoom range and lens. Also, it now has moon mode so when you zoom in to the moon, the picture it takes is spectacular. That came in the last update I got.

[@supnation]

It looks gorgeous 😲

[@justjuniorjaw]

Everytime I see a Honor Magic 6 Pro, I still can't get over Lim's Review that just keeps dropping this phone caseless on the hard floor.

[@joelconolly5574]

He did that with the Huawei Mate 60 Pro when KunLoon Glass was announced. Durable but precautions still applies.

[@mrliberox]

It's stronger than all other new flagships in this year, it can even survive 3m up at the asphalt as well as cement Edit- only with the one's that has the texture design for crack protection

[@MrKojack50]

Excellent review on this phone, looks like the same configuration in most places outside China, EU is also 12/512 base model in 2 colours.

[@Chris-um7ye]

Best phone I've ever owned, face unlock works like charm 🧿

[@waheediprahim2736]

real❤

[@akt8384]

the back with black color is not glass, it is a piece of thin plastic, which flex a bit if you press it, it will most probably crack if drop on the floor

[@MH-dc4qe]

Does the UI have ads? PLEASE answer as you didn't mention it in your review

[@Chris-um7ye]

I'm using honor magic 6 pro, it doesn't have adds.

[@yugatech]

No Ads.

[@MH-dc4qe]

@@yugatech I just pre-ordered haha! Having no ads sold me lol and I like that its different from the usual Samsung/Apple

[@JJ-ck9vu]

is this better in terms of camera compared to the huawei pura 70 pro based on your usage?

[@djblackshadow22]

pura 70 is ass be aware

[@whathefaq1331]

Does it have the option to delete unwanted objects in photos from galley app?

[@Layput]

No. Software needs a lot of work. I got the s24 instead

[@geraldmagno777]

I have ip15 pro max, galaxy fold 5, Honor 90, and Honor Magic 6 Pro. Nagtataka ako bakit madalas ko pulutin ang Magic 6 Pro. 😅😅 Never ako magsisi sa pagbili neto sulit.

[@KeanuBel]

hahahaha sana ol

[@dantesdacio3606]

Does it support micro sd card expansion?

[@Layput]

Yes

[@GilbertsGarage]

I have this phone and love it, except for the camera video output, which is 1080P, 30fps, or 60fps. It is shaky, and the camera stabilization is poor.

[@juninglas-igan362]

Cnu po mas sulit sila ni vivo v30?

[@m.e.maz93]

What about the quality of video calls, Whatsapp, Viber or Messenger? I saw some comments that it is very low despite good internet. Can anyone confirm this?

[@yugatech]

On our end, we have noticed through Facebook Messenger that the preview does look like it's dipped compared to the preview in the selfie camera through the native camera app. Although in hindsight, when testing on video call and switching between the Magic6 Pro and Galaxy S23; The recipient on the other line noticed no difference between either phones (lol.) --But we can see the difference through our own previews. Hope this helps!

[@m.e.maz93]

@@yugatech Thank you very much, it convinced me to buy it ;)

The content is great. You're eating your words though.

[@SvetlinDimitrov]

Face unlock is much more accurate and faster than the fingerprint reader. Don't know what you are talking about.

[@OdutolaAbimbola]

Honor is the best

Good phone but software sucks.

[@NexusAccess]

Awesome useful features. Not sure why you think 🤔
