MagyarHonor Magic6 Pro secures three top spots at DxOMark, outperforms the display and battery of the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max
Although the Honor Magic6 Pro has just been officially presented, DxOMark has already published its first analysis of the smartphone. The most exciting part, namely the triple rear camera, is still pending. But the 6.8-inch 120 Hz LTPO AMOLED display with its resolution of 2800 x 1280 has already been tested.
Scoring 157 points, the device ranks two points higher than the previous leader, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Google Pixel 8 Pro has fallen into third place at 154 points, while the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max now comes in at tenth place at 149 points. The Magic6 Pro owes its top score to its display motion values (which are the best of all smartphones), its precise, fast touchscreen, and its rendering of HDR content (which is not too bright, even in low light).
However, DxOMark criticizes the unattractive color shifts that are immediately visible at steep viewing angles and that a striped pattern can be seen in low light when monochrome content is displayed. Another aspect worth mentioning is that the brightness of 5000 nits advertised by Honor is only available when displaying HDR content at a very low APL, i.e. with small highlights; in sunlight, the display "only" reaches 1492 nits and is thus far less bright than the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, which reach 2572 nits and 2242 nits, respectively.
In the battery analysis, the Magic6 Pro also takes first place in the best list at 157 points, beating the former leader, the Honor Magic5 Lite, by five points. The combination of a relatively large 5600 mAh battery, 80 watt fast charging and modern Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 obviously pays off here.
A full charge via USB-C takes 47 minutes, and the device can be charged from 0 to 80% in just 29 minutes. Those who prefer wireless charging have to wait 01:15 hours until the smartphone is fully charged. The device demonstrates strong battery life in all tested scenarios - a full charge allows for 35 hours of phonecalls or 50 hours of music streaming. Even when gaming, a runtime of almost 15 hours is reportedly possible; only when using the cameras does the device stop working after 04:39 hours.
The 50-MP f/2.0 ultra-wide-angle selfie camera with its dedicated depth sensor is able to oust the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max from the top spot in this category, albeit only by two points.
Honor owes this result on the one hand to the particularly large depth of field of the ultra-wide-angle camera, which allows all people to be captured sharply in group selfies, and on the other hand to the high-resolution sensor, which ensures significantly more detailed photos than the selfie cameras of many competitors. The white balance, color reproduction, noise behavior and dynamic range also receive praise.
However, the Magic6 Pro's front camera is not free from criticism, as details are lost in low light, which is apparently due to the aggressive noise reduction, while the contrast is occasionally too high. Lastly, the sharpness fluctuates when recording videos, which can result in unsightly rendering of movements.
