I can't wait. I've been seeing such mixed reviews about the Honor's cameras. On another note, Samsung is completely overrated. I don't think their cameras are up to where it should be at this stage. Imagine if Huawei was never banned. They would be wiping the floor with all these other flagships.

[@sumitpalsingh5262]

True Huawei the real daddy

[@serrael-182]

But samsung would have been better too. They seem lazy since then...

[@MarceloReis1]

Honor camera sucks. I just sold my 5 pro, hoping it would replace my trusty Huawei and there's just no comparison. Ended up getting an S24U that, as far as camera is concerned, is much, much better.

[@SDav21]

@@MarceloReis1 The 6 Pro seems to be doing very well though especially in night shots compared to the Samsung. The only thing it doesn't beat it on is zoom.

[@MarceloReis1]

I can't speak for the 6 pro, but I had heard similar claims about the 5 Pro. Trust me, I really wanted to like that phone, but the subpar camera didn't let me. Colors were way of, zoom was pathetic even at 10X, and night shots were dismal and portraits were a joke. Basically I believe the problem was processing related. I'm just warning you to try it out with your own tests before building.

[@usmanladan1515]

To my unprofessional ears, the speakers on the honor magic 6 pro are slightly better than the ones on the Samsung.

[@stevearussell]

Samsung are indicating that the advanced ai features will be subscription based in 2025. That stinks.

[@samanthamarasca8864]

Such a cool phone. Damn shame that we can't get them directly from Honor here in the states

[@vairotsana108]

Hi avarage dad so First a trivial Thing the Song you played in the speaker comparison turns into earwig to me for some days. Did not knew it before😂 Second. I am insecure before my next Smartphone purchase . I am vary between the Honor magic 6 and the oneplus 12. What do you think ? Maybe If you find the time this could also be worth a Video. because there seems to be No english or German Videos about it yet. Greetings from Leipzig Germany tobias

[@scrumpy213]

I think I'd give the Honor an extra half mark just cos it looks a bit different at the back, ie, a textured finish contrasted with the chrome surround. It can't be easy going forwards with phone design but credit to Honor but being imaginative. Great vid, very clearly explained, to the point and no waffle. 💯

[@TheSanjurok]

My Magic 6 pro has a screen protector on are you sure that the Magic 6 pro screen is reflective only because of the screen protector ? i notice you have a few small scratches on your Magic 6 pro screen too im sure that they are on the screen protector the actual screen is supposed to be glass why dont you take off the screen protector to see if that akes a difference ?

[@DaRazorback]

Great and fair comparison Mike.

[@lizvickers7156]

Really good video. You're the only reviewer I have seen who gives an honest review on both phones and shows the differences, not just tells you. Well done.

Thank you defo waiting till mid year I think

[@iaingold7802]

Was definitely impressed with the anti glare but would be concerned about the throttling especially over time when phone is stacked with software and updates. Also as that weaker battery ages it will get hotter adding more throttling.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Yeah, good point!

[@alanjones2207]

Just feel. Your reviews get better and better. 😊

[@AverageDadOfficial]

thank you

[@rhouknee]

Thank you for the honest video. You took too much time on the audio test letting us decide. We rely on your very honest opinion so you could have told us which one has the best sound.

[@kendall316uk4]

Like the comparison, but realistically wouldn't you say if you are in the market for a sub £1k candy bar the two current phones are the HM6 and the O+12? Will you do a head to head of those two??

[@LittleMan0121]

Definitely need a head to head with them two phones Currently stuck between them two and can't decide on which one, both look great

[@asus1111ful]

Honor is more complete phone Top spec plus flagship camera

[@MarceloReis1]

I just sold my Honor 5 pro. I loved many things about the phone, but mainly the looks, battery life and the IR blaster, but other things were just too annoying. The camera is simply not as good as advertised... Color is of, low light, portrait and zoom beyond 10x is a joke. Software updates, what software updates? Mine was the global version so no Google issues.

[@joshuabergeman354]

My first Samsung phone was the A71 and it made me fall a little bit in love with OneUI. So I replaced it with the S21U the upgraded to the S22U and now the S24U and I'm deep into the Samsung ecosystem with a TV, a tablet, 3 different ear buds and the galaxy watch 5 pro. And also the Zfold 5. So it's not going to come as a surprise when I say I'm spld on the Samsung software experience. But I would love to have the chance to try out the software experience on some of these Chinese brands. I've had a OnePlus and still have the OP Open. And for me OxygenOS just isn't my cup of tea. It's not bad but just not for me. I've also had and used the Huawei P40 pro and absolutely loved that phone. It doesn't offer everything that OneUI does but it offers almost enough. The problem is that there are just too many compromises in using it for reasons that have nothing to do with the software or Huawei. If it wasn't for the US ban there's a good chance in fact that Huawei would be my phone of choice. I even have a Huawei watch that I love. But it is what it is. I want to try Xiaomi or Vivo to see if they can give me the software experience but I'm not spending $1,000+ on something that might leave me wanting. So I'm stuck with Samsung, but not terribly mad about it, just a little disappointed. 😅

[@SDav21]

I still have my P40 Pro. I love it. Even after 4 years the camera is extremely competitive and may actually take better zoom shots than many new flagships. I agree that I am struggling a bit with compromises related to the US ban. It's so unfair. I would still be consideringHuawei if it wasn't for this. Honor seems to be a Huawei experience but with Google. Just sad the cameras don't seem at Huawei's level yet. I just can't with Samsung unfortunately. I've had too many issues with those that I've had. How's the zoom on your Samsung compared to the Huawei?

[@joshuabergeman354]

@@SDav21 I love my P40 pro! The zoom on my S24U is better but not nearly as much as you would expect considering the P40 has almost 4 year old hardware. And if I'm being honest I think the main lens of the P40 is as good if not better than the S24U. As much as I love everything about Huawei and I'm excited to see what they do with the P70 series it's just too much of a compromised experience living in the US. I'm sure if I lived somewhere else where Huawei had a physical presence I would be all in.

[@SDav21]

@@joshuabergeman354 okay that's good to know. The P40 Pro was really meant to be one of Huawei's best. But it was strangled by the US ban. In my country, Huawei still has dedicated stores and I have all Google apps on my phone. However, sometimes I can not get authentication apps, I can't properly open links from WhatsApp people send me etc. I manage but it isn't as seamless as my Mate 20 Pro was.

[@reginaldminnis7245]

My sentiments exactly!😂

[@kristiansulev1436]

Which one do u prefer mate? 😅

[@iaingold7802]

I actually preferred some of the honor photos As I felt the more washed out look was probably slightly more life-like. Although in others Sammy definitely took the best

[@gioplantasrn]

HM6Pro 🦾 HM7Pro : *QHD *flat screen *3.5 zoom *lesser noise on low light shots and videos *refresh rate options - 60,90,120 and maybe 144. *5,600mah still *still round edges = a beast this year. on par with s24 Ultra.

[@LemonGreen-vg5pe]

Had bad experience using samsung phones. Green line on the screen is too common on sammy phones. Happened to s24u. As for honor, they r still working hard to compete with apple n samsung. They need some software updae to make the camera perfect. 1st 180mp periscope smartphone camera in the world. Definitely need some experiment to make it perfect

I just bought the s24 plus from trading my s22 plus and I kinda regret it because the honor magic 6 pro is just everything in a flagship.ive wanted if only i waited a few more weeks i just didnt want the s pen was the only turn off for me for the ultra great review though.

I'm a little sad about the Honor's zoom. The 30x on the Samsung was way better. The 30x on my 4 year old Huawei P40 Pro is excellent. I need an Honor magic 6 in hand to see if it is better. If it is, I will go with the honor. I just don't like Samsung. I've had too many issues with Samsung in the past. I want the Oppo Find X7 Ultra or Vivo X100 Pro but neither are with global carriers. It sucks. So we're stuck with the honor. Or the Xiaomi 14 Ultra but they don't bring their flagship phones to all markets. 😔

I just saw a comparison review between iphone 15 pro max and 14 ultra and iphone was winning even with 5x a night and 10x day light was comparable even digital zoom..

This agreement indicates that the smartphone might soon be available in markets outside China, opening a new chapter in OPPO's global presence.
