Honor's latest flagship smartphone brings the fight to Samsung's top-end Galaxy S24 Ultra
• Capable rear camera system The Magic 6 Pro’s rear camera setup is one of its strongest features, boasting a range of camera firsts in the mobile space that allow it to deliver impressive results from 0.6x all the way to 10x. • All-day battery life The large 5600mAh battery can deliver 6-7 hours of screen on time per charge, making this a two-day device for many. • Gorgeous curved screen The 6.8-inch curved AMOLED screen is packed with premum display tech that not only protects your eyes at night but delivers a top-notch viewing experience with one of the brightest screens around. ✔ Premium, eye-catching design.
✔ Brightest display around at 5000nits.
✔ Impressive camera performance from all lenses.
✔ Snapdragon-powered performance ❌ MagicOS 8 is basically an iOS dupe.
❌ MagicPortal is pretty barebones at the moment.
❌ No charger in the box You want a great camera phone The Honor Magic 6 Pro can compete with some of the best snappers around with a very capable trio of lenses on the rear. You want a clean software experience 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. 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.
