83% Honor Magic6 Pro Review – The Honorable Ace
Source: Pokde English
The HONOR Magic6 Pro brings about some notable improvements over its already impressive predecessor, and there really isn’t much to complain about. If you still enjoy having curved displays, this will inevitably be at the top of the list given that some its competitors are moving towards a flat one, and its retail price of RM4,499 does give it a bit more edge compared to its competition. Given how durable it is, this is one of the few flagship phones you can use naked without issues, but it’s still nice of HONOR to provide a free protective case for good measure.

80% HONOR Magic 6 Pro review: Should you buy it?
Source: Android Authority English
HONOR knows how to build great hardware, and the Magic 6 Pro smashes the fundamentals out of the park. The camera setup continues to improve too, and, while not quite as consistent as the very best, it has enough overall sparkle to give any affordable flagship a run for its money. The HONOR Magic 6 Pro nails the core smartphone requirements with a brilliant display, snappy performance, fast charging, and more than a day of battery life, matching and even surpassing more expensive flagships. The camera setup is a mostly brilliant piece of kit for the price too, albeit with a few caveats for the pickest mobile photographers. However, the design and software are likely to split the crowd, and the high price tag prevents the phone from being a slam-dunk recommendation for everyone.

90% Honor Magic6 Pro Review – Innovative, capable and tough flagship performer

Honor has outdone themselves this year with their eponymous Honor Magic6 Pro. Their latest flagship phone blends superb hardware with an equally good four years of OS updates along with exceptional camera performance as well as an impressively tough NanoCrystal Shield display. There’s still a few odd quirks with the firmware but this is otherwise an excellent flagship phone that is worthy of consideration.

80% Honor Magic 6 Pro review: flagship power and performance, finicky software
Source: T3 English
The Honor Magic 6 Pro is a good-looking phone, offering plenty of power and performance for the money. It's a verifiable flagship phone, but it is let down by the software experience. There are changes in this phone that aren't necessary - and sure, you get used to those changes, but the point is they shouldn't have been changed in the first place. The display is good if you're still hankering for curves at the edges, while the speakers will blast out tunes with respectable fidelity. Top that up with really fast charging (if you've got a high-wattage charger) and this is a phone that's certainly worth considering for myriad reasons.

80% The Honor Magic 6 Pro is undoubtedly one of the best camera phones you can buy
Source: Tech Advisor English
Possibly, but only if you’re a very specific type of smartphone user. One who takes lots of photos, and cares about the quality being on par with the best camera phones around. Someone who needs top-tier performance and displays, and likes the idea of the iPhone’s Dynamic Island and Face ID but on Android. If that’s you, and you don’t mind the high asking price, the Magic 6 Pro might be the phone for you. But if it feels a little expensive, you don’t particularly like the design or a slick software experience is important to you, there are better options elsewhere.

100% HONOR Magic6 Pro Review: A successful blend of Android & iOS
Source: Android Headlines English
Is the HONOR Magic6 Pro the phone for you? Well… it’s certainly an interesting phone. As I mentioned several times in the review, I see this phone as a hybrid of iOS and Android, in a way. Throughout my entire usage cycle, I felt that way, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. This is the first slab phone that I thoroughly enjoyed using since I switched to foldables. I don’t even know why, to be quite honest. I still have quite a few complaints about its software, but that combination of Android and iOS aspects really appealed to me, in combination with the phone’s camera performance, battery life, and design. The HONOR Magic6 Pro is a complete package, that’s hard to deny. Its software is noticeably improved compared to last year’s model, and the camera improvements are also easily noticeable. The HONOR Magic6 Pro is a great phone, and if you’re in the market for a flagship-grade device, this one is definitely worth considering.

90% Honor Magic 6 Pro review: stunning camera on an attractive flagship phone
Source: Creative Bloq English
As a flagship phone that’s up against some strong competition from Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi and the rest, the Honor Magic 6 Pro is a strong proposition. It has some excellent cameras, a powerful processor at the heart of it all, and the zeitgeisty application of AI to hit marketing talking points. If you’re looking at spending over £1,000 on an Android phone then there are certain other elephants in the room that it would be foolish not to consider. The price of this phone is high, but so is the performance and quality, so it deserves a spot on anyone’s wish list.

The Honor Magic6 Pro delivered an outstanding performance in the DXOMARK Camera tests, earning itself the top spot in our ranking, ahead of heavyweight devices, such as the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, Oppo Find X7 Ultra or Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. It achieved excellent results across pretty much all test areas, without showing real weaknesses, and is also a noticeable improvement over its predecessor Magic5 Pro. For photo, the Magic6 Pro achieved a joint top score with the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, thanks to nice colors as well as an excellent dynamic range and good face contrast, even in difficult backlit scenes. In addition, the autofocus system was a major plus point, operating accurately and quickly in all conditions.

80% Honor Magic 6 Pro review: brilliant and long-lasting
Source: Stuff TV English
The Magic 6 Pro is an excellent smartphone. But is it a great smartphone? The hardware is top-notch, but we feel the photography lies a little adrift of the very best. But the overall problem is the price point which is a little too high compared to rivals. It’s a shame, because what is on offer here is a fantastic phone. If O2 do sell it in the UK (the network said it would be stocking Honor devices on stage at its launch) then it will be interesting to see how is priced on contract. If you can get it cheaply on a reasonable deal then you won’t go wrong – this is an excellent Android flagship phone. The Honor Magic 6 Pro is ace, lasts for ages and is quick to take great shots. If you decide to get one on a deal, you’ll have a truly awesome phone on your hands.

Source: CNet English
The Magic 6 Pro is among the most compelling Android flagships available this year. It has excellent cameras, a sharp display, and great battery life coupled with fast charging. On the other hand, it's held back by the software upgrade policy, and I am concerned about wear and tear on the display. That said, the Magic 6 Pro has helped reinvigorate my enthusiasm around phones through its futuristic features such as eye-tracking.

Honor Magic6 Pro hands-on review: Oh, ho, ho it’s Magic, you know?
Source: Laptop Mag English
There’s more than a little bit of Magic housed within Honor’s flagship smartphone, but its availability and compatibility within the borders of North America are what will hold it back far more than any of my trifles with the device. For the price you’d pay, you’re acquiring a top-of-the-line device touting the kind of components you’d expect from only the biggest names in the US market. That’s paired with a sensationally sleek design that oozes class, and an Android wrapper in MagicOS that, while leaning a little too heavily on its influences, has plenty to offer in terms of unique features and future support. I think Honor has produced a fantastic smartphone here, and I almost feel bad we can’t give it a star rating due to being unable to get it to our lab in time for testing. So, instead of a star rating, hear me loud and clear when I say this, for I’ll only say it once. As an Englishman, the fact I can acquire tech like this almost makes it bearable that I live on the same continent as the French.

Honor Magic 6 Pro Review | The Android iPhone?

This near 7-inch phone's camera tech dominates that back end, and it's a capable shooter in any conditions. Even night photography isn't a hassle for the Honor Magic 6 Pro. You've got a 180MP zoom lens, which means decent telephoto shots in lower light, plus 4k video recording. Gamers will also be happy with the performance and battery life here. The Honor Magic 6 Pro is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, so even Genshin Impact and the most demanding games can play with a respectable frame rate. What's unexpected is the fact that Magic OS has improved, although the Honor Magic 6 Pro also takes influence from the iPhone 15 series with its floater selfie cam shenanigans and iOS features.

90% Honor Magic 6 Pro Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The Honor Magic 6 Pro is a viable alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra, offering comparable – if not better – camera performance than Samsung’s flagship, along with a gorgeous curved design, high-end screen tech with an industry-leading 5000nits peak brightness, excellent performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and all-day battery life – and all at a cheaper price point than Samsung’s top-end alternative. It’s not perfect, especially in the software department where I feel that Honor’s MagicOS 8 could do with a few QOL tweaks and less of a focus on being an iOS dupe. It also lacks long-term support, offering 4 OS upgrades and five years of security patches, while the Pixel 8 and Galaxy S24 offer an extended seven years of updates, and its MagicPortal AI tech is a little lacklustre at launch. However, I feel that the vast majority of users could learn to live with Honor’s software quirks when there’s such great hardware on offer.

90% Honor Magic6 Pro review

High-end Honor handsets can easily get overlooked in a crowd of more famed top-tier offerings. But just because their Magic lineup may not be the one you think of first, it doesn't mean you shouldn't seriously consider the Magic6 Pro. It's not perfect, that's for sure. For its cameraphone aspirations, the Honor's video quality is a bit… unreliable. Certain specific circumstances can trip its camera in stills too, but those aren't that bothersome. Similarly, a few minor software peculiarities had us irked along the way. But that's really the magnitude of the 'problems' we had with the Magic6 Pro. These are easily outweighed by the phone's strong points though. The Magic6 PRo's display is truly great, even for the class. The battery life is towards the top of the chart, charging is quicker than at least the Samsung.

HONOR Magic 6 Pro hands-on: A zoom master with a bold design
Source: Android Authority English
A phone like the HONOR Magic 6 Pro is up against some serious competition. The previously mentioned Galaxy S24 Ultra ($1419.99 at Amazon) is a major contender, as is the Pixel 8 Pro ($999 at Amazon). Thankfully, in Europe, the Magic 6 Pro undercuts the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s list price by quite a bit. At €1,299 (~$1,408), it is now a decent alternative to the Ultra. However, that’s still more than the Pixel 8 Pro, which lands at €1,099 (~$1,191). Even so, the periscope zoom on this thing is outrageous, so if that’s a big part of your smartphone needs, this might be worth grabbing for that alone. What do you think? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned for our full review of the Magic 6 Pro, coming soon!

Honor Magic6 Pro Audio test

With a DXOMARK Audio score of 155, the Honor Magic6 Pro is among the very best devices tested to date under our Audio protocol, delivering strong results across all playback and recording sub-tests. In playback our experts particularly liked the Magic6 Pro’s performance for timbre, spatial and volume. Attacks were snappy and the sound quite punchy overall. A slight boost in the low end brought more depth, although it could also lead to some resonances or light distortion, which could also deteriorate bass precision. Playback quality was especially good when playing games, but results were also excellent for watching movies and music consumption. In recording tests, the audio zoom feature is excellent and very effective, while wind noise was very well under control.

80% Honor Magic 6 Pro review: An Android flagship like no other
Source: Expert Reviews English
As far as I’m concerned, the Honor Magic 6 Pro deserves a recommendation based on the battery life alone. As well as being the second-best phone battery life we’ve ever recorded, it offers competitive performance, a gorgeous display, robust cameras and useful features that other flagships don’t, including the high-frequency PWM dimming, TOF 3D sensor and IR blaster. Launching with a sub-£1,000 256GB variant would have broadened the Magic 6 Pro’s appeal, but for what it is, there are still very few drawbacks. If you want class-leading performance and the best zoom shots around, you’ll need to fork out for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Otherwise, consider saving a couple of hundred quid and picking up Honor’s excellent and feature-rich Magic 6 Pro.

Source: Android Police English
The Honor Magic 6 Pro is all-in-all an impressive device with some serious hardware breakthroughs. Like with most other Honor phones, it's held back by its software, even as the company works on getting up to par with the Samsungs and Googles of this world. That's in part thanks to clever tricks like its Magic Portal, which could become a genuinely useful AI feature that fits cuts down on a lot of copying and pasting. If you want the latest and greatest hardware more than a software experience that is polished to the levels of iPhone and Pixel smoothness, you'll be happy with the Magic 6 Pro. The same is true if you value battery life above everything else, thanks to Honor pairing a big battery with its software battery optimizations. Combined with the polished hardware and the versatile camera setup, it’s Honor’s most enticing phone in a while. There are still reasons to go for different phones, though.

The Honor Magic 6 Pro is an impressive device, no doubt about it. Honor has brought the silicon-carbon battery outside China, and now we can enjoy the added capacity globally. The battery life is great, and the camera system is up there with the big boys, challenging even the S24 Ultra in some scenarios. There's a potent chipset inside, and the AI magic sprinkled on the OS is really helpful, although the functionality is a bit limited at the moment. We can definitely recommend this device if you're willing to try something different. On the flip side, the phone isn't exactly cheap, and you'll need to put in some extra effort to get one (no Magic 6 Pro in the US). But if you're feeling adventurous and you're willing to take this leap of faith, the Honor Magic 6 Pro won't disappoint.

The Honor Magic6 Pro provided an excellent overall battery experience, with impressive improvements in autonomy and charging that pushed the flagship device into the top position of the Battery ranking, a rare feat for an ultra-premium smartphone. Equipped with a large 5600 mAh battery, the Honor Magic6 Pro, offered more than 3 and a half days of autonomy under moderate usage. The device performed impressively in most individual test cases, including the idle screen-on, video streaming, gaming, and calling. However, idle screen off and music-streaming test cases under Wi-Fi conditions showed weaker performances. The peak wired charging power supported by the Honor Magic6 Pro increased to 80W, allowing the device to be fully charged in 1 hour and 11 minutes. The maximum wireless charging power at 66W was not far behind, providing a full charge in less than 1 hour 20 mins.

Additionally, the outdoor brightness level remained consistent for all types of displayed content, which is not the case for most competitors’ devices, whose display luminance decreases as white areas on the screen increase.

The Magic6 Pro achieved a top score in motion thanks to its exceptional management of frame mismatches and motion blur, providing the user with an excellent experience watching high-quality videos or playing video games. Also contributing to the top score in motion was the absence of any delayed playback when sliding forward or backward on a video. In touch, the Honor Magic6 Pro came very close to the top score, but the screen lacked some smoothness when viewing the gallery.

Honor Magic 6 Pro Hands-On: 180MP Periscope Zoom with Large Sensor!
Source: ben's gadget reviews English
The Honor Magic 6 Pro has a 180-megapixel Periscope zoom lens with a 1/1.5-inch image sensor. These numbers are off the charts for a zoom lens. How does it perform? I gave it a quick test against the S24 Ultra and Vivo X100 Pro.

Honor Magic 6 Pro Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Honor designed the best flagship smartphone with the Honor Magic 6 Pro. They wanted to provide a better alternative to the best flagship smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus and they achieved it, more or less. If you take the display, the Honor Magic 6 Pro smartphone can be out of the park. The same goes for the design and the charging department. But it’s not all roses and sunshine. It doesn’t beat all the flagship phones in every department and we can’t expect them to, not at this price range. It costs significantly less while providing similar or even better specs as you now know. So, if you are in the market for a new flagship smartphone, then may give this smartphone a try and save some cash in the result. But if you want brand value or can’t get out of the iOS ecosystem, then this smartphone is not for you. The closest alternative to this smartphone is the iQOO 12 Pro, which sports similar specs while costing even less. However, the final decision is up to you, so it is better to choose a smartphone based on your requirements and needs.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 750: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 7340 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and first benchmarks show that the GPU can beat the Apple A17 Pro iGPU. 

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 8 Gen 3: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2022 with a fast prime core based on a ARM Cortex-X3 architecture clocked at up to 3.2 GHz. Two more performance cores are based on the A715 and also support only 64 bit applications. The two additional A710 cores support also 32 bit applications as do the power saving Cortex-A510 cores. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 7 modem, a Hexagon DSP (for AI acceleration) and a Spectra ISP. The integrated memory controller supports fast LPDDR5x memory with up to 4,200 MHz. 5G is included in the chip with the Snapdragon X70 modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.80":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).


89.79%: There are not very many models that are rated better. Most of the assessments are in percentage ranges below that. The tested product is not considered perfect, but the sources give a clear purchase recommendation.
