Magic 6 Pro - Long term experience report

[@Uncle_Tham]

Sold my s24u and got a hm6p 6 days ago...liking it a lot , really do remind me of the good old Huawei days with gms...it's honor now

[@StefanRoll]

Man I have an S24 for 30 days now.. I really think about returning the Samsung and getting this Honor. Is it a big difference in the photo area between the two? Is Honor actually better? Before the Samsung I had and I still have my Mate 20 Pro, faithful old friend for almost 6 years now. Can you compare them for me what is better what is worse?

[@MRsiniSSDT]

Having both a samsung and an honor I feel like Honor hardware is better (beside build quality that is better on samsung) but for the UI samsung just feels better and better finished with more options

[@benellis7427]

​@@StefanRoll I have the Magic 5 Pro and have had so many of the top phones since the mate 20 pro and this is the only phone that has been a worthy replacement.

[@abdellaziz-]

man im confused into what to buy ! ,S24U or magic 6 pro , u had the S24u and now u re using the magic 6 pro , so how's the camera departement on it ? is the s24u better ? also about the experience , is the magic os better than the one ui ? how's your exeprience overall with the magic 6 pro ? and do u really think its better than the samsung s24 ultra ?

[@Uncle_Tham]

​@@abdellaziz-Hi, I would say if u use zoom a lot s24u is definitely better...software wise I feel one UI has more features as well but magicos is not bad as well...hardware I prefer the fast 80w charging and secure 3d face unlock on the hm6p...but that is me personally...u might wanna try both out to test which u might actually prefer

[@D-Theo]

I use it and I love it. I think at this price it's one of the best phone you can buy.

[@GraemeAdamson]

Great review! I got mine a few weeks ago, to replace my Huawei Mate 50 Pro. Having Google services again is nice, it feels faster, and the battery life is much better. The zoom, as you said, is not great (and the Mate 50 Pro was worse than the Mate 40 Pro); I believe an update coming up may help. Macro mode is really good. The phone migration from the Huawei was not great at all, I had to do lots of stuff manually and set many apps up again.

[@lltechview]

@@GraemeAdamson Oh. Too bad it worked for me from Mate 40 Pro to Magic 3 Pro+ and after that to Magic 4 Ultimate just fine.

I'm using Huawei ecosystem (MatePad, MateBook, Freebuds). I am thinking about replacing my old Mate 20 Pro with Honor Magic 6 Pro. My question to you is how well Honor phone integrates with Huawei ecosystem from the perspective of using Honor phone with Huawei Share, Huawei Super Device and Huawei Multi-screen integration?

[@lltechview]

@@mbafna Apart from super device everything else mentioned works

[@mbafna]

@@lltechview I was finally able to get hold of Mate 40 Pro (a Chinese ROM phone, NOH-AN00) which I was trying for a long time (actually, I was trying for a global variant NOH-NX9, but couldn't locate it). With latest HarmonyOS 4.2, I've the system language as English across device, and working fine with no issues whatsoever - SuperHub, Multi-screen collaboration and Huawei Share is working wihout any issue. I, however, am facing only one issue and that is Celia speaks only in Chinese, and there simply is no way I can talk in English!!! Even if I install Amazon Alexa, I'm not able to give voice commands to Alexa because Celia is always default! Do you have any experience of Voice Assistant on HarmonyOS phones?

[@alriyada2008]

Thanks 🙏

I am torn between Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Honor Magic 6 Pro. Based on your experience and expertise, which one would you recommend more? I am a photography enthusiast, but I also like my phones to have a certain "fun factor" with all the intuitive and innovative features, which based on what I've seen, Honor Magic 6 Pro has covered. X14Ultra seems to be mostly all about cameras, or am I mistaken?

[@lltechview]

Both very good. Maybe flip a coin and decide. But the Xiaomi photos have a bit more character to it. Honor has the better phone experience with better battery life and screen.

[@speedster1264]

I come from an S23u and I use an iPhone 15 pro max at the same time as my honor magic 6 pro, and I find the honor better, it's really a perfect balance between android and Apple In the photo part I find the Honor better, especially compared to the Samsung s23u which was very bad! It's very close to the iPhone, but the Honor remains better in photos than my iPhone. In short for 800eur it's a surprise for me and I discovered a phone which meets all the most important criteria which are the best compared to the competition.

I have the 6 pro since 1 month. Coming from a Vivo x100 pro, because I wanted better screen, better speakers. And I got this. This really is a premium phone. And as someone very pwm-sensitive I love it. BUT. I wasn't prepared for such a downgrade in the camera department. The 6 pro is unreliable, and even when it hits, the results are a far cry from the X100 pro. I would even say, my Oneplus12 camera was better. The s24 ultra too, while it has its problems too. As the camera is really something I value, I will sell it as soon as the vivo x200 pro (or even the OP13) will be available. DXO clearly lied on this one.

Honor Magic6 Pro. Ahh, the new old phone. It behaves like an old phone. Freezes. Settings suddenly revert to default: Accessibility settings for certain apps change by itself. My live wallpaper that works okay on my 3-year older Huawei (P40 Pro+) randomly stops on Honor. USB tethering to computer disconnects. Sometimes I need to restart my computer to reconnect/reenable USB MTP (media transfer protocol) properly. Its software is a f*cking ghost: Acting on its own. Uncontrollable. HORRIBLE. I'm surprised you did not experience these things, or did not notice them at during the length of your "test". Camera: Zoom and details are better on my much older Huawei. Honor's camera only wins vs. my Huawei on dynamic range.

[@lltechview]

@@Shadoufang Indeed did not encounter any of this. Maybe earlier firmware suffered from this only and Honor fixed it
