In this review, we’ll discuss a very competitive device. This device reminds me of 2018! Welcome to the review of the Honor Magic6 Pro device. We’ve seen Honor taking steps forward until they’ve reached this level of competition. This is a premium Android device to compete with the rest of Android flagships, it also packs new technologies. These technologies are not only just a new CPU or modern specs.
Let’s find out whether this device is worth the time we’ve spent testing and experimenting with it! Let’s start! This device reminds me of 2018, as back then, the competition was at its highest, and boxes came with their normal size. Before we discussed the specs, let’s discuss the design. The device comes with two different colors: black or mint. The back has a leather-like touch, and there are 3 rear cameras. The frame is made from aluminium with light gold color. The device comes with the USB-C port, which offers great charging speeds. There’s also a stereo speaker at the bottom. The device comes with a front cutout for the front cameras and the sensors.
The design of this device is actually different than the design of the rest of the devices in the market. The rear camera design has been improving until we’ve reached this current beautiful design. The device weighs 229g. The length of the device is 162.5mm, and the thickness is 8.9mm. The screen is 6.8″, and it packs a lot of technologies. The screen has curves from all sides. The screen is covered with a Nano Crystal layer to protect it form crack and scratches. Honor says this screen is 10x more scratch and crack resistant than regular screens.
Honor has a previous great experience with their Honor X9b device. This device is 5 stars certified from SGS. The screen is FHD+ with 2800×1280 resolution. The aspect ratio is 16.69:9. It produces 1.07 billion colors and the pixel density is 453ppi. The screen is OLED and supports up to 5000nits of brightness with HDR support. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR Vivid technologies. It also supports 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and it depends on the brightness and the content you’re viewing. The device comes with the SD 8 Gen 3 with the Adreno 750 GPU. PUBG game supports up to 90fps. In Geekbench 6, the CPU scored 2204 points for the single core and 6652 points for multicores. Here’s where the CPU performance is ranked among other competitors.

There are more devices now with this CPU. When it comes to AI, Honor focused on the camera features, which I’ll discuss later in this review. The device runs Android 14 with MagicOS 8 on top of it. The storage is 512GB and the RAM is 12+8GB using the Extended Memory feature. Let’s discuss the cameras. The main camera is 50MP, and the Ultra Wide is 50MP as well with 122 degree of view. The Periscope camera is 180MP. Honor has managed to distinguish itself from others with this camera. Honor decided to use a high megapixel periscope camera with the use of AI to get great zoomed photos.
The device supports 2.5x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom. The optical zoom offers betters quality more than the digital zoom. It supports recording HDR videos with 4K@60fps using the rear cameras. The cameras support AI. Honor decided to let AI help taking the best photo. Honor has its own technologies that help with getting amazing photos, such as the Falcon Camera. And with using AI, the photos will be way better. We made our own tests to find out about these technologies.
We tested this device along with the S24 Ultra device from Samsung. And with slo-mo videos, the Honor device was better. We made the tests times, and the results were the same. In this case, AI helped to enhance the outcome. The front facing camera is 50MP as well, but it records 4K@30fps videos. However, regular users don’t need to record 4K videos as they consume a lot of storage. 1080p@60fps videos are great with better stabalization, and you can broadcast them on all kinds of monitors.
The cameras provide great details, saturated colors and high contrast photos. The stabalization of the 4K@60fps videos is great. The colors are always saturated. This is how the camera performs in different light settings.
Similar to Apple devices and some Huawei devices, this device still come with front facing sensors. Similar to Face ID, these sensors are secure to help you unlock your device securely. These sensors are fast and secure. They also help with eye-tracking. This feature helps with security using face tracking among other technologies. The device also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor, but the location of it is near the bottom, which is a bit bothersome.
However, the responsiveness of the fingerprint sensor is very high. The device also supports other unlocking methods, such as the passcode, pattern and face recognition.
The device comes with the second gen of the Silicon Carbon batteries developed by Honor. The size of the battery is 5600mAh. The 100W charger comes in the box. We tested it, and I’ll discuss the results later. It is amazing that this device supports fast charging. The device also supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. The device comes with a dedicated chip to help with charging. The device comes with the Power Enhanced Chip Honor E1 chip. This chip is supposed to help with fast charging in cool weather. The device supports 80W wired charging and 66W wireless charging. This is a great speed for wireless charging. The device also supports reverse wireless charging. The battery charged from 0% to 100 in 42 minutes. The S24 Ultra took more than one hour to fully charge, considering that the battery is also smaller. The charging technologies are great with this device.
Honor also added the Magic Portal feature, which uses AI to help with other devices from different eco systems. You can use this feature to search for things by touching and holding on an object to reveal the Magic Portal tray. It is similar to Circle to Search by Google. There are way more services that the Magic Portal can help with as well. It helps unify the Send and Receive platforms, and so on. Honor also focused on the Human Centric feature. You can connect this device with the tablet and computer to work as a unified platform. You can send/receive files from all devices and control the rest of the devices. The device supports 5G and WiFi 7, but you’ll need a WiFi 7 certified router to benefit from it. WiFi 7 and WiFi 6e offer great speed and stability.
The device also supports dual Nano sim cards. There is another chip that Honor added to this device called C1+ to control the antennas and help with calls. There is another chip called S1, which is meant for security and privacy. It is also called Dual TEE. This chip was developed by Honor and Qualcomm. The device supports NFC and IP68 water and dust resistant. The box also includes a protection cover.
Honor now has an official store here in KSA, and there is lots of offers for other products as well. There are offers for Honor laptops, wearables and other products. Check the store for more details. Honor promised to create a store at the beginning of the year, and now they’ve fulfilled their promise. The store offers a service called 2 Way Free Express Service. You can change the the screen protector twice for free.
You’ll also get a 6 month screen warranty. And you can replace the device within the first 30 days in case there is a problem with your device. The warranty is available in all gulf countries. The warranty for the device is valid for 2 years, in accordance with the Saudi laws.
The box include the cable, the charger and the protection cover. The charger supports 100W of fast charging, which is 20W more than what the device itself supports.
Pros:
The design of the device is beautiful, and the battery is huge and supports fast charging. The cameras on this device are really great. I am very eager to make a comparison review with the iPhone and the Ultra to compare the cameras. Honor managed to offer cameras that indeed provide amazing results. The more competition there is in cameras, the better for end users. Users will benefit from these technologies and reduced prices.
Cons:
I wished that the device supported an SD card, and that the placement of the fingerprint sensor is a bit higher. I also wished that the front facing camera supported recording 4K@60fps videos. The pre-orders are available on Honor’s website and other partners. To be honest, the device is a great competitor. The UI features, screen protection, and technologies Honor added to this device make it a great choice, especially with the design and price. .
Let me know with which device should I compare it!
See you later.
