Wow! I didn't expect you to review the Magic6 Lite. Over here at SEA the model is called Honor X9B

[@joelconolly5574]

True.

[@Techtablets]

Yes even the firmware states X9B. Thanks for watching!

[@Mr.Z1989]

In Europe its called Magic 6 and hes located in Spain I think.

[@CODOnlineInfoCODChina]

And in China it's called X50. There are also variants called X50 GT and X50 Pro that use Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 instead of 6 Gen 1.

[@gamingguide1565]

But the X9B is having 5800 battery and it comes with charger and headset in the box, we actually bought one for a family member

[@IamJay02]

I love how you always talk about the pwm or dc dimming on amoled displays. No other tech reviewer ive seen is as thorough and detailed as you are.

[@thegreatyoutuber6809]

Hey, so happy you are reviewing an Honor phone! Nice one, Chris!

[@jorgedanielaguiar2936]

A good start of the year, watching tech tablets reviews =)

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Awesome unboxing and hand on review as always Chris Sir

[@venniev2302]

thanks for the video i am waiting for honor magic 6 Pro , hopefully there will be a review lol that will decide to buy it or not

[@asan1050]

Thank you for posting.

[@petersdicki5688]

I would really like to see a comparison between the Oppo find x7 ultra and the vivo x100 pro. I cannot decide and softwarewise the oppo still look a little bit slim

[@David-Dumont]

How many Android updates do Honor phones get?

[@abirmahmud9224]

Good Video. Awesome Choice Snapdragon. Thanks Brother❤

[@lifeindivine]

Can we use Nova Launcher on it?

[@Funmap66]

Not really a big upgrade over the 5 Lite it seems. It all comes down to the price and the goodies they throw in when you purchase the phone.

[@davidkuzmanov3488]

Hi , new to channel Great review , i was looking for new phone my Samsung S20 is almost 4 years old .Still work , but new battery i put on is No good . I was hopping for 5700mah but in my country will be 5300. Let me know price , this phone will be selling .

[@malikomar909]

alot of hype for the magic 6 pro 🔥

[@Techtablets]

Yes that's the model I'm really looking forward to. The Magic 5 Pro is one of my favorites for the price so I expect the Magic 6 Pro to be even better of course.

[@TheRisingIcarus]

Is it worth buying vs a new Magic5 Lite for €230?

[@jonaspetersen7327]

Great video.. no OIS, weak 5 mpix ultrawide and a weak SOC, considering the too high price, makes this a no deal for me. I really miss the days when Huawei and Honor gave you really great value.

[@MKR3238]

wasting money on a curved screen instead of getting the fundamentals right, style over substance with recent mid range phones it feels like

[@corolla9545]

I also missed the days when Huawei still got that Google apps

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

What did you expect for 199 euros??? Lol

[@hectorgarcia3675]

Honestly, the camera is not bad at all ! In night, it's good. Ok, it's not iphone or google, but it's really good ! Oneplus 12 doesn't make better on the picture of Mountain

[@yisaleyderleydery9915]

When will the Honor Magic 6 pro first impressions video will realesed?. Thanks for that review

[@ucasryan]

its not on sale

[@Avner-sj2ky]

Release date supposed to be 10th or 11th next week for Chinese version not sure about global

[@Techtablets]

Hi, when I get my hands on it. I think it might be in a month or some the release we will have to wait and see. I hope HONOR sends me it.

[@Balkan_game]

Can it play 4k ( 2160p ) on KZbin ???? HDR10+ ???

[@Makarmache]

*RECORD CALL !!! ??? and thank u*

[@enosodhiambo9253]

The phone looks fine the camera bump doesn't makes the phone to wable on the table

[@user-dk6lq7vf4l]

Magic 6 Lite review??

[@Mr.Z1989]

Is is possible to hide the bezels/punch hole area? I don't like a round FOV.

[@Techtablets]

Didn't see that option so I think not.

[@Mr.Z1989]

@@Techtablets Thats unfortunat but not so important.

[@Dandroid2010]

Correction on the battery, it's 5800mah not 5300 as you have mentioned.

[@Techtablets]

Oh my bad sorry. Thanks for the correction.

[@mrjuice24]

It is 5300mAh mate

[@Dandroid2010]

@@mrjuice24 On GSMArena it says 5800mah. Here in the Philippines it is marketed as X9b also with 5800mah.

@@Dandroid2010on the EU/Ger site it lists 5300 Mah.

The UK honor website says 5300mah

[@clarencewife504]

Can you review the redmi k70 pro?

[@Techtablets]

No plans to buy it sorry.

[@clarencewife504]

@Techtablets oh it's Okey but would you think that redmi is a trusted company cuz I'm thinking about buying this phone and I'm concerned about that motherboard issues and other problems

[@MienLeHoang]

lol that ultrawide footage, looks like old 90s videos. A mixed bag of bad and hilarious XD

[@Techtablets]

Yes terrible ultrawide video, nobody is going to use that they should have just enabled photos only for the ultrawide.

[@aubinbaldonado]

2:32 Honor and Huawei may be separate now but they still share the same AODs 😅

[@Mr.Z1989]

I don't think that they are really seperate.

[@corolla9545]

Wiki said that Huawei sold the Honor brand to Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd, but I think it Huawei still shares it technology with Honor

[@Avner-sj2ky]

Bro could you make a video of the honor magic 6 pro soon

[@Techtablets]

Sure once I get hold of one I will have some coverage with it. Review for sure and maybe camera comparisons vs S24U and others by then.

[@Waqas523]

​@@Techtablets6 gen 1 gpu is better than 778g or not? Or something else?

[@CMW]

​@@Waqas523actually the gpu score is better than that was shown in this video..

Honor 90 GT review pls

[@Techtablets]

Maybe if they send me it but I do have a review of the Honor 90 in my channel.

[@user-mm5sk7bj8z]

Not much difference accept the 4k front bk cameras recording same design id wish theyd added 4k to 5lite earlier considering it was £299

[@Mr.Z1989]

Is it really flicvker free (and DC dimming)? I got headaches and burning eyes from almost every new phones and want to get rid of my old Huawei Mate 10 so bad.

According to 4:05, it seems to be

[@Mr.Z1989]

​@@termin29671You are right! Finally the companies react to the people who have trouble with modern displays.

[@Techtablets]

Yes with this phone it really is. No flicker at all that I can see.

[@Mr.Z1989]

@@Techtablets Thasnks god. I had the Magic 5 and loved the design, the light weight and EMUI Feeling from the former Huawei company but also had a lot of headaches. I will buy the Magic 6 light as soon as its available.

[@fitnesssoundslk2357]

It's called here in Qatar honor x9b the price is 1200 Qar here

[@Techtablets]

Yes the X9B is the name in other regions. Good price.

[@simonbcity]

I bought the Honor 70 pro for my mum for cheaper than the Honor magic6 lite and has better cameras 📸..Oled screen as well

[@evoGage]

The camera(s) performance is really bad all round. Also a single speaker is just not cutting it these days.

[@Bilal.Hussain.Shaikh]

Sad to see no charger in the box, hope Honor Magic 6 and Honor Magic 6 Pro includes Charger in the box

[@corolla9545]

In other countries, wall charger is included

[@BENCHPRESS_247]

They're saving the trees with the included charger

[@RisoBoss]

How? I paid £3 fo the charger, how did that save the trees bs.

[@Waldwurm]

Magic 5 Lite is better for the current Price ~200€ in my Region. 399€ for 6 Lite. Not worth it at all.

[@salmanafg7531]

❤❤🎉

[@joelconolly5574]

Weird that they'd call it the Magic 6 Lite when not even the standard Magic 6 is officially out yet. And even weirder calling it the Honor X9b in the Asian countries. Honor joining Xiaomi in naming schemes now?

[@Techtablets]

So it's a little odd the naming but we should see the Magic 6 and 6 Pro I hope soon.

[@CMW]

They always do launch lite series earlier than pro series..

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Moto Edge 40 Neo would swallow this baby in all aspects! 😅😅😅

Should I get Honor 90 or Magic 6??

[@Techtablets]

Honor 90 I would get over this.

[@centralkingdom8141]

@@Techtablets thanks 😊

[@davidbrown6878]

I agree; the Honor 90 would be better.

For the price, everything is good...

[@termin29671]

Do you know what the expected price is?

[@HZL_AD]

entry level 500k++ antutu in 2024 unacceptable

[@Marcelos8686]

that ultrawide video looks like it's from 2010 lmao

[@Techtablets]

Yes I didn't expect it to look that terrible! Was a bit of a surpirse.

[@Mr.Nabil.Belhaj]

Pass. It seems to me that Xiaomi, realme, honor and the rest of the usual mid-range brands can't recreate a good phone anymore, like the Redmi note 10/10 pro, realme 9/ 9pro the Poco F1/ x3. They keep making the same mistakes and focus on esthetics and non essentials. Perhaps, unlike us geeks the market demands those features (curved screens, 2mp cameras, flashy colors and looks and gimmicks) instead of a solid camera, flat screen and stereo speakers 🤷

[@corolla9545]

what could be the best phones you consider in the mid-range segment brother?

[@Mr.Nabil.Belhaj]

@@corolla9545 Sadly the choices are very slim, mostly Samsung these days, A34, A54, or Google pixel A series (small screen in my opinion for the price), OnePlus Nord kind of 😕 and Nothing phones too expensive for midrange in my opinion. You see what I mean 🤷 So basically Samsung A34 and A54 for now, excellent build quality "motherboard and parts", supported for many android updates, Great Cameras and image processing, unlockable boot loader with many official custom roms especially lineage os, no system ads and bloatware and tracking .... Or do what I do and find good quality referbished flagships if you don't mind buying second hand

[@artdogg50]

Now Honor following Apple, Samsung, and Google with no charger in the box. Say it isn't so. 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@ab.jalloh4165]

I'm disappointed Front camera doesn't look good

[@Techtablets]

Not good no or the ultrawide.

[@KirmiziKara1]

Video Stabilisierung echt nicht gut..

[@therepearblack3552]

no charger in the box? that's not relieving at all. we may probably see all honor devices follow the path of apple with saving the enviornment nonesense

[@corolla9545]

In Asia, charger is included in the package

[@ChakraOver9k]

The HM6L kinda sucks tbh. My redmi note10 pro blows this phone out of the water

[@Techtablets]

Yes it does.

[@RisoBoss]

yeah but pwm is 350 vs 1900

[@animedailyshortsTV]

the speaker sure is disappointing

[@user-kn5bz7wp5k]

Edge screen not good for budget phones

[@abdalahabdalah3806]

Oppo Reno 4 5g

[@rreonarudo]

Snapdragon 6 gen 1? That's new

[@Techtablets]

My first time testing it, feels like a SD870 or 865.

[@Waqas523]

​@@Techtabletsit means 6 gen 1 made by Samsung foundry is good ,no heating issue

[@Techtablets]

Yes it's good runs very cool. Nothing no throttling at all with 3Dmark stress test. Under 1% stability 99%

[@vaddok91]

​@@Techtablets 6gen1 is a replacement for the popular 778g, an updated 4nm process technology and slightly reduced frequencies (2.2 instead of 2.4), the Adreno 710 video card is a replacement for the 640 series

[@mohammedalshehhi2848]

😂 thats honor 9xb without the charger for 340$ + free Bluetooth airphones

[@alexchan7165]

cery disappointed, single speaker!😮

[@Techtablets]

Single speaker and that ultrawide video are the disappointing things with it. I hope they can fix this with the new Lite release and give us dual stereo speakers and a much better ultrawide.

1st ❤

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for watching!

[@pareklund]

"Almost flagship performance"..Really?..Seems more like a rowboat to me...

[@SibTiger33]

Awful device. Pretty disappointing. U are better off with a previous generation flagship than this

[@mrjuice24]

No stereo speakers and no infrared, no charger in the box. Rubbish

[@corolla9545]

so what phone that is having all these features you have just said?

[@hhbadarin]

Everything is fine except the terrible curved screen!

[@nekilik89]

Disgusting

[@nigelyoung8722]

Apart from the screen it's meh on nearly everything else. Not worth buying at all.
