I’m getting Huawei vibes from Honor with their innovation. Impressive phone
Well it is a Huawei but with Google supported. 🫣🫣🫣
I wish this phone was global.
this phone global but not on US tho.
It's their sub brand phone, sister company
@@anime_yggdrasil🤦
I m using magic 5 pro and really it is better than many other flagship phones.
Excecpt the missing white colour
M happy for u bro... Still my dream phone🎉🎉
The only video I want to see with new phones release. Keep going, thanks for the content
Thanks, will do!
@@Techtabletssir I know it's late but pls mate 60 pro 🙏🙏
@@Techtabletsmost of us want an honest review of the phone
I really love the back design of the phone. Looks awesome.
It feels really nice and 100% anti fingerprints since it's a matte finish.
always looking forward to your review
I appreciate that!
Using the Chinese version of this phone, as I live in China. Got the green one too, and it looks great. Camera is fantastic, and screen looks amazing. Upgrading from a Redmi K30 Pro I though the pill would bother me, but honestly I barely notice it most of the time, and the face unlock is super fast and works every single time, with or without glasses, and even when I'm wearing big cycling sunglasses. The Chinese version has a couple of niggles related to Google services, as well as an issue where it seems to not be possible to use an alternate launcher, but overall I'm very happy with the phone. Here in China it comes with a case and a 100W charger, too! Great review as always.
Finally, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra replacement is here 😻
Lol go away
Xiaomi 14 series is also in the party
@@lomejor6367 oh your right, we have 3 phones show down, OnePlus 12 vs Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Honor Magic 6 Pro 👍🏿👍🏻
@@Bilal.Hussain.Shaikh Xiaomi 14 ultra is £200 more expensive in the uk so I'd rather get Honor
@@Porumb oh ok, what about OnePlus 12?
You missed Magic Pill features on that front screen notch as well. Great review as always 👍
Love your videos man ❤❤ keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Thanx for the review. What's the update schedule?
HUGE upgrade over the Magic 5 Pro I'm currently using. Can't wait to get my hands on this great flagship!
Is it?
Would say huge but it's better at the same time very similar.
@@TechtabletsDo you recommend switching from HM5 Pro?
Not really huge. Minute update maybe.
@@lltechviewmake a 2024 review of the mate 60 pro sir pls
The video is surprisingly good
Thank you for your review. Really good. One question, do you feel that black sometimes turns a little purple, like at 15:40 the black of the cat? I have the problem with my Huawei 40pro and it's really annoying.
Nice review as always! Honor magic6 pro or vivo x100 pro do you prefere overall? Battery screen and cameras! Keep going with the good work 👌
It's a shame that here in the States it's hard to get this phone. Such a beautiful phone. One hell of a beast for the price.
Totally agree. I bought it in Spain and was lucky enough to have a friend flying from there and bringing it to me in a couple of days
Would you consider this phone as a worthy upgrade over Huawei Mate 20 Pro (which also had 3D face unlock feature)?
You're probably the only one who reviews the phone without the unnecessary drama!
Very interesting phone! Coming from a Huawei phone (P30 Pro), I guess this Honor would be a sort of...smooth transition. 999,90€ the bundle discounted (limited time offer). Not fond of spending 1,000€ for a phone, but nowadays it's impossible to spend less if you want a cameraphone, and this guy here looks like a cameraphone. Thanks for the review, Chris!
Small world. Same here! I have been more than happy with the P30 (since 2019, I never thought I would keep it for so long) and this Magic 6 Pro seems like a natural replacement. Will receive it in a few days. Very excited about it
@@pepeanto and what is your impression now? I am about to do the same move (switching from P30) :D
@@pkulicz I am extremely satisfied. I think this is the natural upgrade. You will have a very familiar feeling when using this since you can tell the Huawei vibe all around. My biggest complain at the moment is the Portrait mode. For some reason when you enable it, goes by default to 2x, and you can only jump to 1x, 2x, 2.5x and 5x but nothing in between. Also not a big fan of the portrait mode quality, it lacks the wow effect from the P30 Pro, kind of lame. Other than that I am really happy. Also the battery lasts around 36-40 hours a day. Android 14 (P30 was stuck in Android 10 and it is a matter of time where apps will stop working). You won't regret the change!
Assuming that if I buy one for use here in the USA it will work fine if I am only getting it for the camera and occasional updates using wifi?
What is the scrolling like and the haptic feedback as it was poor on the magic 5 pro
Can you tell if switching lenses during video recording is jittery or smooth?
does the battery of the Maigc 6 Pro as good as the internet said? i've read some cases on forums and they said the battery drain quickly or the screen-on time didn't as expected? I love this phone but still have some confused
Your videos are very well detailed and cover almost all aspects of a device. I want to know how is the call quality of magic 6 pro... That pill cutout is not an issue for me, however providing a charger would have been total package.
Call quality is fine if I noticed anything bad I would have mentioned this but it's great. Very nice phone!
Did you notice any sun flares while taking a photos? That was very noticeable on Magic 5 pro.
Amazing detailed video Chris I absolutely like the design and color choices of magic 6 pro over 5 pro
But removal of charger is a dirty move
As I remember Honor uses a proprietary charging technology
For your charging test I didn't notice if you mention what charger you used, judging from 35 minutes time you got I assume a hone original 80w charger
And it be great if you can try 3rd party brands to see if we get full potential
Cargador 100w Honor en aliexpress 12€
Whats your take on the UI performance?
Bought mine today , green model from Honor site , couldn't resist the £250 early bird deal.
Nice! Enjoy
Great review, thanks! What is the aspected price for EU? What do you think Oneplus 12 or Magic6 is has best value?
Price is 999 (with Code )with 512 GB storage and 12 GB RAM the fast charger is 16,99 and the official case is 16,99 .
As I said before, your reviews are always top notch here on TH-cam. This phone looks really nice overall, but I've seen some comparisons from a spanish channel that does vlogging style comparisons and I dare to say that camera performance is the weakest spot of this phone, but considering what it has, i honestly don't mind, we're still getting a well rounded phone.
Will you do comparisons too with this phone? I'm tempted between this honor and the vivo x100 pro for my new daily driver
Definitely bideo isn't the greatest as you'll see in my camera comparison I posted Vs iPhone 15 Pro max and S24 Ultra here: th-cam.com/video/xARaaItZy18/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IF5-fnol2AlFY_Ny but overall it did well and factoring the build, screen, 3d facing unlocking, charge times and battery life it is very good overall.
How fast the transfer speed for the usb c? 10 Gbps?
I have not seen anyone does a review of Desktop mode. I used Samsung Dex extensively and would like to know if Magic 6 Pro is equally good...
Does it have AI features like magic eraser , sky change ect like the pixel /samsung ?
Thx for the quick video. Can you make a comparison between this and Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Pro?
I want also
Yes if I buy the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. I didn't get sent one Xiaomi cut me off again
@@Techtablets ow that's a bummer. İf you plan to buy it, please buy the Global version because that one matters.
This or the oneplus 12? Which one is a better phone?
How many years is the device supported, in terms of sofware
Hello there! This phone or the OnePlus 12? Considering all the stuff you reviewed and tested in all you tests about the two phones.
This phone is better
I'm still running my huawei mate 20 X and I like the bug-free software, easy and fast. I'm happy to see that honor has bug-free software too. This could be a good replacement, if it was a flat screen and ... if my mate 20 X was not running as good as it's still running strong :)
I still have my mate to 20 X. There is nothing else like it on the market since it was released in 2018! Did you go for the honor magic 6 Pro? If so what do you think ?
Im an iphone user but im gonna buy this.. The camera at the back is so sleek
Great video.
Also like that the 15 minute video recording limit is not there anymore.
Especially like the colours with their Classic LUT in movie mode.
Sadly as it seems the a bit too punchy colours are still there and I think the tele lense is a bit weaker optimized so far than the Oppo Find X7 Ultra 3x
Hope Honor will include me as their testers again as well as I would like to present this on my channel and analyze the camera without having to finance it on my own
Hi again. In my opinion, after studying the smartphone market for so long, I think this honor excels in Durability (jurhino glass / alias kunlun), battery life, screen. In the camera department, I think the photos/videos are good, but they are too digital and oversaturated. Bad points -> Software updates, and zoom. I am in doubs between vivo x100 pro and xiaomi 14, since xiaomi is offering a good discount and extras for me. Opinion ?
Honor = Huawei + GMS 😅
nice video, can I give you 1 suggestion for the next phone reviews, is that you can put if the phone have e-sim option .. thanks
This one has e-sim support!
It has esim support
I love Huwaei!!
Honor did a good job, but the upgrade to Honor Magic5 pro is small. I will skip this and maybe look at the Honor Magic 7/8 pro. Thanks for your review!
Does anyone know if this phone has a call screening feature?
With bloatware, do Honor phones much in terms of Honor apps that do the same things as default Android apps? If so can you delete/disable/hide them?
Would it work on att ?
Vivo x100 pro ile karsilaştirirmisiniz?hangisi daha iyi kamera konusunda artilari eksikleri nedir?
Do any phones have slo-mo at 2k or higher?
@TechTablets
PLEASE make a Honor Magic 5 Pro vs the 6 Pro I haven't seen any reviewer do this yet ... Really interested to see if its really that much of an improvement and WHERE those improves are.
Sadly I had to send my magic 5 Pro back a long time ago and no ola to buy the magic 5 Pro just for one video it's not worth it.
Ahhh nooo, what a shame your reviews are top notch , reason I decided to go for the Honor instead of the 23 Ultra, but I understand :)@@Techtablets
Best, to the point and unbiased reviewer 👍; I feel a bit let down by the dynamic island knock off, if only they kept the old design :/, people will always confuse it with an iPhone. Other that that, the phone looks amazing from all angles
Yh the camera cut out in the middle was an annoying design change. Too bait.
Because they also have 3D Face unlock, they have used the pill for notifications, and that seems sensible. No form over function, just features like this and an IR sensor.
Great review Chris as always. What do you think is better option to buy, Honor Magic 6 pro or One plus 12? Thank you.
This
Great review as usual Chris! Does MagicOS provide any option to hide that ugly pill by e.g. adding a black bar at the top of the screen?
Yes you can if you want a too black bar across it.
I like the nerd specs included in these reviews
Most people skip that looking at my video stats so I try to tone down on it a little.
What's Honor's software updates policy??
How many OS updates do they promise?
4+1
Very nice video. Good phone
Number 1 on dxomark in many criterias. Better then s24 ultra to me. Waiting for it in UK carrier 😴
Camera is amazing
im currently using the Huawei Mate 50 pro
i might just get the Honor Magic 6 Pro as my upgrade
Hello there,can you double sure it can record 4k/60 in the ff camera?!as I found out it can only 4k/30 in the front camera
Love your reviews as always.
Hey this or OnePlus 12 which will u recommend? Considering the prices too
Magic6 Pro wins
great!
@TechTablets this phone or Samsung S24 Ultra, which one is better?
If you really want the stylus there's only one choice.
Stylus with the ultra and better screen and video. But this is cheaper right now and has better battery life and charge time.
Does the Honor Magic6 Pro have a desktop mode? Main camera is may be a bit better than Magic5 Pro, but still need sw updates. Telephoto is definitely better on Magic5 Pro, better to have 3.5 optic zoom than digital cropping from huge mpx sensor. Other things looks like small changes or updates then next model upgrades. OnePlus 12 feels much better choice than this. Or stick with Magic 5 Pro.
Do third party apps downloaded from the Play Store accept the 3D face unlock for biometric unlock or is it limited to fingerprint only?
Face unlock works with apps
@@cactus8911 thank you! If you're using the phone, could you please name some third-party apps that work with the 3D unlock for authentication?
Will it come to India? What's the price?;
cant they just put the prise with big numbers then to decide worth to watch,or not
May you test text to speech reader? I think different phones have different voices even though they use the same Google engine.
I really liked this phone in person, except for that capsule-like cutout in the front. I wish it weren't there.
honor or vivo x100 pro?
Impressive phone once again with half price against the worse "famous" phones. This phone is perfectly balance all around with amazing selfie. My only complain is the 2.5 periscope. I wish it was like magic5 pro 3.5 or near to 3
Same it would have been great to see 3 or 4x optical zoom as digital zoom can only do so much over 10x it starts to look bad.
I have p30 pro, and i cannot decide between x100 pro and magic 6 pro. Is quality of camera too different?
X100 Pro has the best cameras.
Can you please review Huawei mate 60 pro plus ❤
Hi mate which one you would say is better between this one Vivo x100 pro ?
Cameras Vivo. Rest of the phone this.
@@Techtabletsthank you just for Camera
What's the maximum length of 4k video recording? On the Magic5 Pro it was capped at 15mins for some reason.
I think its unlimited now if im not wrong
@@NicoSzy Thanks. I hope so. I was hoping "Mr in depth reviews" would've mentioned it. But nah
Awesome Chris was waiting for your video to drop. This or the OnePlus 12 in your opinion??
Probably OnePlus 12, if Honor decide to put the charger in the box then Honor it is, otherwise OnePlus 12 😍
Stay away from OnePlus.
Stay away from Honor
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Does this phone has VOLTE or WIFI Calling? Will it be supported by the north American carriers? They are shutting down 3G and if the phone doesnt support Volte/wifi calling or if the carriers do not support the phone you wont be able to make calls anymore.
Also does Honor have a trade in program like Samsung and OnePlus? I was able to trade in my Oneplus 9 for the new 12R and only pay 300bucks for the 12R. Samsung has a similar offer which makes their flagships much more affordable.
VoLTE and VoWifi works at least here in Europe
I'm looking forward to your review of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
That's coming as I bought one.
I just got my 6 pro in china model and imo it's more worth it, it only costed me about 980CAD and it's worth every dollar
Glad to hear that
Brother Which phone should i take Honor magic 6 pro or Vivo x100 or Xiaomi 14 ultra for Gaming+ performance and camera ?? I hope you repli .Love from Bangladesh 🤗❤️🩹
Yo vivo en denia tambien, bonito lugar .
Voy bonito!
Hey Chris, as you have used all of them, what would you recommend? I really need Android Auto so Chinese versions are not for me, otherwise I'd have gone for the Oppo Find X7 Ultra.
So the remaining options are the Honor Magic6 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra or Vivo X100 Pro. I also really need good battery life, but also a great camera. I currently have the OnePlus Open, the battery life is just OK for me, I need better, cameras are great I think, just 4k60fps lens switch is missing while recording, and something is wrong with the modem on my Open which hinders my hobby as a mobile network tester.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra (€1200 in NL):
- Best main sensor (1"), versatile zoom, but small zoom and ultrawide sensors
- Awesome video recording, ability to switch lenses in 4k60 (all of these 3 have it though), 4k120 recording
- Great screen, haptics. No proprietary charging tech(?)
- But bad battery life I have seen in multiple tests, way worse than my OnePlus Open when unfolded
Honor Magic6 Pro (€1000 in NL):
- Average main sensor (1/1.3'), just 2.5x zoom albeing a large zoom 1/1.49" sensor, small ultrawide sensor (smaller than HM5 Pro, which I think its ultrawide was really poor on)
- 4k60 lens switch, good video recording
- Awesome battery life, screen
- Weak haptics, proprietary charging tech
- But all-round really good
Vivo X100 Pro (€1200, have to drive to DE for it):
- Really good 1" sensor, overall great in all tests online with really good processing, amazing zoom lens 1/2" 4.7x, small ultrawide
- 4k60 lens switch, good video recording
- Great battery life, screen, haptics
- Proprietary charging tech, unclear update future as its almost not available in EU, probably lower resale value
- I test mobile networks as a hobby, unclear how good the modem in the Dimensity 9300 is
What would you say? It's really hard to choose, as I feel I have to pick my poison. If only the Oppo Find X7 Ultra was released worldwide, we have to wait for Oppo until next year.
My pick is the X100 Pro global version which is what I'm using. Decent battery and amazing cameras. Plus android auto works of course with the global model.
@@Techtablets Thank you so much for your answer! Can i ask where you got your global version? TradingShenzhen only has the Chinese version, and Austrian shops, where its officially released, dont deliver to NL
Are Google services included? Or you need to install them?
Included in markets outside of China.
gonna watch now
This or pixel 8 pro?
What You recommend to get? Xiaomi 14 Pro, Oneplus 12, Oppo x7 ultra or this Honor Magic 6 pro? Or best option is iPhone 15 Pro?
Vivo X100 Pro is another great option.
@@Techtablets haha Thank You, too much good phones this year
Which one You use as a daily driver?
@@Techtablets
Am waiting for the Ultimate
what do u mean ultimate? is that a later version
Is it that amazing for the price?
I mean it's pretty great, but I feel like considering how close it is in price to Xiaomi 14 Ultra and how much more expensive than OnePlus 12, it's in a bit of an awkward spot.
What hurts it the most for me is that the software is still surprisingly unpolished.
Also i know it may be just me, but having a small camera cutout in the screen I can deal with, but this huge pill/island is very distracting.
I actually wish companies would move the front punch hole camera to the corner instead of the middle.
Even if it makes the phone look not symmetrical, it means that when you watch something or game on the phone vertically, your hand will probably cover that camera anyway.
Lucky here...1 con removed...we get a 100w charger & a simple plastic transparent in the box...
Nice I later learnt that it will depend on the region.
How does it compare to the Vivo X100 Pro?
Good but the X100 Pro has better cameras
Thinking if I should pull the trigger and get the X100 Pro or wait for the X100 Pro Plus
Another great review!
Another curved screen to hate LOL.
Great phone&I really like magicOS
. Can I know the price?
1099 euros in some areas with 200 discount if not 1299 euros
I don't think the pill shape is a downside. I'd rather have the 3d face unlock. It's so nice to have to unlock the phone over a fingerprint scanner.
I do think the same it's a trade off that is worth it Vs weak 2d face unlocking
My friend honor 6 Pro or OnePlus 12 ?
Magic6 Pro for sure
I've seen unboxings that came with 100W charger and case in the box.. This one doesn't.. So I'm guessing this is the global version? Anyone know if there are any technical differences between the Chinese and global version? I'm asking because the Chinese version is much cheaper than the global one.
Yeah global version comes without charger. Chinese one has the charger. If you buy it you can get the charger as well in your basket and it costs like 1 € or so
@@lltechview Thanks. Still 100s of euros more expensive than Chinese version (840 euros on Wonda Mobile). That's why I was curious about any differences in specs. I didn't see any yet. Chinese version seems to have all the 4G bands we have over here (Netherlands).
@@omarf2406 You lose the warranty if you import. Here in the UK, we get two years warranty, and it would be short-sighted to risk losing that.
@@andyH_England Good point. Even though I never had to claim warranty in my 12+ years of using smartphones, I can imagine it can be an important factor for some.
Global version will have support for e-sim, android auto, VoWiFi, magic portal. For china version advantages are: more config variants (ram/flash size), more color options, charger included in the box, automatic call recording, more settings for eye tracking control
Weird, not sure why they didn't include the charger for you, but i swear having a 100w charger when i bought it. Same color, 512gb global version
it's regional If you get it or not.
Charger is included with global version sold in uae/sw asia but not with global sold in europe
Please allow a serious question: should any adult person be using a Xiaomi phone? I'm trying to decide between Xiaomi and Honor and I'm trying out the Xiaomi as we speak. But I'm already facing bugs with Xiaomi: my phone calls dropped several times on wifi with excellent signal. I'm a bit afraid of such bugs... Thank you very much for your work!
The Xiaomi has more bugs yes.
Great video as always. Great spec's on this phone, i would have bought it, but pill notch and curved screen puts me off, why are they making curved screens do they think our eyes can see around it lol.
I love the curved screen for its ergonomy. Swiping from the side feels so smooth.
@@gantenbeinable 👍it's personal
Preference, I've had 2 phones with curved screens. accidently open different apps when swiping
video out? usb 3?
Yeah of course. Just like the predecessor. Should also include Magic Desktop
Yes I thought I said video out and usb 3.2
@@Techtablets You did
Vivo X100 pro is better or Honor?
X100 Pro is yes.
honor going in the way of samsung and apple not giving us a charger when :
they don't have much customers in europe
they give a 35w charger with their tablets (useless) but not a 100w charger that obviously far less people have than a 25w charger for example
overall this is a very good phone, with 3D face unlock, good cameras... but is it worth its price, when you can get a xiaomi 14 ultra for example, for less than 200€ more, which INCLUDES a charger brick ? not so sure
Such a brilliant device. Just watched a battery life comparison between the Honor 6 Pro and 24U and IPhone 15 PM, and the Honor DESTROYED the other two. Fast charging and great display and chipset all come together with it's superb camera system to make the Honor 6 Pro a fantastic buy for sure.
