My expirience: I got the Magic6 Lite and I'm happy with it. The speaker is not silent, it's loud enough. The camera is good, it's good in hand but it's pretty big (I had a 5.5 inch phone before) and its probably gonna take a while untill you get used to it. One downside is it doesn't have an Aux, so you can't plug headphones in it, but get a Bluetooth ones and you're fine. Another downside is that if you don't have a honor charger, it won't charge at a maximum capacity. I charge it with a 33W xiaomi charger and the phone pulls the minimum electricity of the charger (2000mAh) instead of the maximum electricity (6000mAh), and it took me 160 minutes to charge it from 0% to 100%... I guess adapters differ from one another and untill I try a original honor charger that should charge the phone from 0 to 100 in less than an hour, I cannot confirm anything. All in all it's a good phone with no scary downsides, and I'm happy with it.
@@hopelesscase8667 This phone only supports 35 watt max charging ...No 66 will do magic ...With 30 watt original honor charger phone takes a pretty 90 minutes to full charge ...So 90 minutes is the minimum time to charge this phone
No charger in the box is even more unacceptable than it is with Samsung phones, because it's almost impossible to find an Honor competible fast charger.
@@BenetrixFTW Yeah, it's a stupid region thing, because in places where the Magic 6 Lite sells, their biggest competitor is Samsung who also won't include a charger, but that's not the case for the X9b.
Looks a decent budget phone that needs to come down a bit in price. Its launched at 349 pounds in the UK (with some freebies admittedly) and at that price its to close to the pixel 7a and OnePlus nords tbh. If it drops down to around 289 then i think its a good option and a Motorola killer for a budget phone.
Funny how the HONOR X9b launched in the Philippines only costs 16,999 pesos equivalent to around 237.49 pounds. Anyway it's similar to Magic 6 Lite, the major difference is the battery capacity. X9b has 5800mAh.
That is some useful info. One of my last phones was a Huawei that I had for around 4 years. The Honor version of it was already popular in other part of the world when I got it.
Who would have thought that we do indeed see a snapdragon SIX gen 1! The last SD 6XX Chip is about 4 years old by now. I honestly thought that Qualcom has given up on this chip tier. Which had been a real shame because my Nokia 7Plus with its SD 660 from 6 years ago is still an amazing daily driver with great battery life. The 600 tier is simply amazingly efficient.
I'm really interested to see what will come with the Magic6 Pro, I'm aware that the previous pro version was a banger! I had the Magic5 Lite, absolutely lovely. And now I'm rocking a Honor 90. Again, these phones are very well put together.
@@newphonexp honor 90 is the first phone ever to have 3840 Hz high frequency display to avoid hurting user's eyes at night or for low light use, that's why is better than any phone

I said it before and I repeat it again: OEMs should stop making curved screen phones as the hype is over, not to mention they’re not practical. The only reasons why OEMs still make them is because aesthetically look nice and because they can of course.
'... finding screen guards and cases are proving to be a little difficult ...'. I like the look and sound of this, but not being able to find a full case is a dealbreaker.

My main complaint with Chinese skins like MagicOS is that they don't allow you to customise the MaterialYou. All my Google apps got stuck with a brown tint on the menus and buttons simply because my wallpaper was red.
Charger compatibility doesn't make sense to me. You should be able to just plug any phone into the same brick and charge its maximum speed. I bought a fast charger for my xiaomi phone and realised it charged every device I had quickly... Except for my phone
Yeah. Apparently there are several charging protocols and most bricks do not support all of them. If you have a huawei charging bricks tho they use same protocols as honor so if you can't find a honor one can get a huawei one and should be fine. Don't know about xiaomi tho. Never had one of those but as far as I know all their model still come with a charge in the box.
Does it have physical real proximity sensor or a software one? Those Chinese brands and lower end Samsung have been skimping away with physical sensors lately.
@Azu10157 Right? Every time I read comments on a budget phone review, it is full people complaining because it doesn't have features of 2x or 3x more expensive phones.
X9b and this, apart from names, are they built different though? I'm quite surprised you didn't mention the sturdy nature of this specific model, in Malaysia they literally advert it by bashing it against nails, tarmac and stuff, because deep inside, we all know it's an outdated spec table weight, perhaps a spare hammer now. Well, Chris if you read this, please do a durability test, I'm curious, you don't have to take my words for it, search for Honor X9b and it will show some torture procedure of it that might gore you up, could your Magic 6 lite withstand the BDSM of mobile phone? 🤔

1080p is the usual on magic 6 lite. I have found 4k on very very rare videos 1 in 10. But the screen is very crisp & bright so won't have much of problem

Oh, that's Honor X9b in SEA region, it's a great phone, I got one myself😊
too bad they did not unclude the charger there, in our country there's a free charger inside
The honor magic line up is getting cool with great deals, i will get one someday only that here in Kenya they selling it at high price tag😮,
I'm a simple man; I see Yotsuba, I click. The phone review was a nice bonus tho. Good vid.
Honor 90 is better than the magic 6 lite, but it's fine for daily use and looks great
I have hard time choosing between them.
I went for the lite version.. now the price drop to 270 euros around...
Great purchase @@jpcisneros21
so this is a renamed x9b that you could possibly throw towards someone without damaging the device

Useful review, thank you.

Am I the only taken by surprise with Yotsuba there👀
The hone is horrendous and quite prosperous for the price point. Such a sweeter deal buying a Nubia Z50 for the same price
seriously no word about comparing it with 5 lite ?
Omg that Design is literally a copie of the Huawei Mate 40 series
Defo goin to get this phone....🤘
Is it worth waiting for this over the Honor Magic Lite 5?
Basically a cheap version of Honor 90. Still gorgeous design but hopefuly the software gets improved upon
It's called Honor X9b in Cambodia. I thought Honor 90 is better.
It reminds me of Kenney of south park
Im my country it's call Honor X9b, start with 12+12 ram, 5800mah battery and we got supercharger in the box.

Some people prefer curved screens, for one they're less wide so much easier to hold and use. Using a case I never had an issue with accidental touches
Just got one of these (as the rebrand X9b)

Isn't that the same device as the Honor X9b
Wrong move not to include the charger as we all know honor is struggling compared to other Chinese brands
Nice review. Where did you get the information about the IP53 rating? Can't find it on the official site.
Good review but I wish you spoke about the SIM tray is it duel SIM etc?
Yes it is
Dual sim, and the sim actually locks in place instead of just resting on the tray
Honor could have had stereo speakers, they would have got more sales pity,.
They could of put a charger in the box but they what us to pay 30 pounds fir it im not getting the phine now

Great video, is it worth ipgrading from a magic lite 5 in your opinion?
Not worth it , wait for the 7
Why don't they put dual speakers on these phones?
The phone is fine, but two Android updates are just not good enough.. starting from Android 13, of course
Mostly, updates ruin performance. I disabled all the automatic updates on my Huawei P30 for example
Hi chris.. Do they really give a honor pad on amazon with the same price?
