Honor Magic 6 Lite Review | Premium Style, Budget Price

- Reviewing the Honor Magic 6 Lite, including an unboxing, camera test, gaming performance and battery life thoughts after a week of use. I've been testing the budget-friendly Honor Magic 6 Lite as my full-time phone for several days and yes, the software isn't great while the experience can be buggy. However, the battery life is sublime, you can game on Genshin Impact and that screen is a stunner. This smartphone can be yours from Jan 10th for a price of £349 UK.
Those specs and the camera haven't massively changed vs the older 5 Lite, but Honor has boosted the battery size and no complaints on longevity. Although the charging speeds are now slower, bizarrely. That 108MP main camera on the Honor Magic 6 Lite can shoot good looking pics but struggles with more vivid subjects.
MagicOS isn't massively great, and I have had some issues with apps locking up and the camera app borking up too. Hopefully all just early jitters, as the Honor Magic 6 Lite hasn't officially launched yet.
So are you tempted by this mid-range phone, one of the first of 2024? It's certainly a rival to the Motorola Edge Neo 40 and other budget mobiles, if you can overlook a few wee quirks. Get your own here, and use the code 'AM6lite35' to get £35 off until Jan 17: bit.ly/3S4CAeb

Hola from Florida. Love your reviews and personality. You make this waaaaay more fun than the others.
That orange back does look lovely. It reminds me of the good old Lumia 930 or 830, the shade look exactly the same from where I'm sitting
This man is a man of culture with the wallpapers
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.
skin issue
@@Rubi-fn9uu Excuse me, what?
Iniu powerbank 100w does the job but staysbelow 40w on magic 4 pro.
Huawei car charger does 40w fast charge
Funny thing is the Honor Magic 6 lite is a rebranded Honor Magic X9b. The Honor X9b comes with a 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.
Am always a fan of the tech mostly of phones but i found your channel 😅, and you always funny Tech spurt 😁, i find myself laughing when am watching the unboxing 😁,
Useful review, thank you.
It's an honor to watch this review
Stop 🛑
@boispad, I admit it...I cracked a smile on that one🙂
Nice review. Where did you get the information about the IP53 rating? Can't find it on the official site.
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.
Does it come with charger is battery good
Good review but I wish you spoke about the SIM tray is it duel SIM etc?
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.
Even at that price I would just buy a Nothing Phone 1. Can get a 12gb 256gb version for that amount. It's a way better 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.
Will you be doing any review on any Xiaomi Redmi gaming phone anytime soon?
the camera is honestly good enough
This is the kind of content I live for.
Is it worth waiting for this over the Honor Magic Lite 5?
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.
Eyyy honor 90 team
Me too 🤙🏻
Sold my iPhone 15 for honor 90 I don't know why iPhone and Samsung screens hurt my eyes genuinely,pixels are ok but honor and Motorola are best
@@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
8gen3 5600 mah magic 8.0 100 watt charging honor is clearly number 1
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😮,
Great video, is it worth ipgrading from a magic lite 5 in your opinion?
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.
I wish we had these phone options here where I live.
I can't wait for the Honor Magic 6 pro
You buying it as well?
@@distar7471 yes, probably
@@yisaleyderleydery9915 I can't express how excited I am, coming from a Redmi Note 9 Pro.
so this is a renamed x9b that you could possibly throw towards someone without damaging the device
Defo goin to get this phone....🤘
i just get it today , unfortunately UK do not ship to other countries they give free HONOR Pad X8 Neo Mint with it 😭
Do you plan to review Vivo's iqoo neo 9?
I'm a simple man; I see Yotsuba, I click. The phone review was a nice bonus tho. Good vid.
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'd be surprised if this was more efficient than older chips. Is fabbed at Samsung Foundries after all.
SD 6gen1 = 778g/855, not 660 😅
Hi chris.. Do they really give a honor pad on amazon with the same price?
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.
Did Honor bring back Ultrasnapshot camera features?
honor magic 6 lite vs honor 90.Which one would you recommend?
Dear techspurt, I recently bought it as gif for my father.. is there any good back case that you recommend it? Cheers from Greece
This is the same as Honor X9b which is known as one of the toughest phone there is
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.
Isn't that the same device as the Honor X9b
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
Just got one of these (as the rebrand X9b)
Enjoying it so far but finding screen guards and cases are proving to be a little difficult 😂
'... 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.
Why don't they put dual speakers on these phones?
Am I the only taken by surprise with Yotsuba there👀
*Is it compatible with Samsung Smart Switch backup app??*
No SD card support?
seriously no word about comparing it with 5 lite ?
Hello? Huawei? It's a Huawei Nova 9 on the front, Mate 50 on the back and inside is an usual Android phone...
I bought a oneplus 11 and then sent it back after a week of use, i just thought idk what I've paid so much money for, it doesn't do anything special. Looking for the best midrange phone to get now, I have no use for a flagship phone
A 5-megapixel ultrawide camera is unacceptable!
Dude really 🤣 not everyone cares about camera 😂
@@alexandergeorgiev74agreed🎉😂
@@alexandergeorgiev74 Some cameras should just be cut out. Most phones can take a better uw with panorama shots today
I wish to buy this one because I love the design... And I need a better camera system too.
5MP is plenty resolution for a selfie. Plus, this phone is meant to reach a price point where selfie cameras cannot receive special attention.
Debating to get the Honor 90 8gb version but is it better than this phone any advice, at moment I’m using Honor 70
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.
It reminds me of Kenney of south park
I got this 2 days ago and its been horrible due to fact i cant get any earphones work in the c port . Tried adapters but theyndont work for what i need to use it for . I want to send it back
Omg that Design is literally a copie of the Huawei Mate 40 series
Is this better than Motorola edge 40
Does it have stereo speakers?
Can I have an honest opinion here. Do I go for the magic 6 lite or Honor 90??
Just remember there is no charger in the uk honor phone box they are taking the pee. It's 30 pounds to buy
X9b ?
It's called Honor X9b in Cambodia. I thought Honor 90 is better.
Nice video
good vid...too many blowers in the same price bracket... leaves me confused..
Awesomeness
What is the highest resolution you can get on the new honor 6 lite. On youtube while using the 2022 model of the same make I could only reach 1024 resolution. What is it on the new model while watching UA-cam? Thanks
Should probably be able to reach 4k or 1080 60p
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
The Honor Magic6 Lite is also known as Honor X9b.
Yep, bought it the other day.
And honor X50 in china 😂
I really cant wait to be a dad!
Wrong move not to include the charger as we all know honor is struggling compared to other Chinese brands
It looked like Kenny from Southpark
Thank you for not testing if their claims are correct for dropping the phone so now we have no idea if they are correct or not.
HONOR ❤
It's called X9B in the Philippines lol
Honor X9b?
I LOVE HUAWEI PHONES SO ITS A GOOD PHONE FOR ME
I don't think you mentioned fast charging, if not at £345 it's not cheap.
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? 🤔
Can I please have a clean honest opinion here. Do I pick this one, or the Honor 90??👀
Both have mono speakers btw, just get a Poco X6 Pro instead
Can't wait for the day we have to buy a screen separate from the phone
honor phones works in usa now?it runs google apps?
Only Huawei phones don't run Google apps.
It looks like Realme 11 series phone from the back
Anyone else have slight ghosting on screen? Eg if i load google , youtube etc for a split second ill see my app icons on the background of what i load. Very annoying
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
A bit expensive for such a budget phone. Infrequent software updates and no wireless charging would put me off immediately though
@@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.
Uncle spurt pls review Samsung a25 5g
Isnt this x9b in asia
Is this honor x9b or magic 6 lite 😂😂❤
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.
So i have a chance to get magic 5 lite in couple of days,is magic 6 worth the wait.I'm not into gaming or camera's just internet browsing.If someone can answer this please 😁
Honestly u better getting the magic 6 lite it's has better overall stats to 5 lite. Which would defo be the sticking point for a future device u want to keep & use longer. So yeaah u better picking magic 6 lite as it genuinely is better then last year's model
@@D4vid_95 I actually got redmi note 13 pro I'm happy with it 😄
Anyone bought this phone yet ? 😮how is battery life so far
Price here in Bulgaria is 350euro
Is it worth it 😮
I saw it the other day in store, camera looks little bit week ...no sure if got proper settings. Anyone bought it , let me know .
Thanks
i thin still best for now oneplus 10 t for 399eu :)
Similar like honor x9b
Can someone recomend oneplus 10T or honor magic 6 lite ?
What is better for money
Oneplus 10t 8/128
Or honor magic 6 lite 8/256
Thanks guys
Oneplus will release the 12 globally soon, so the 11 will drop in price.
Honor easily
Funny how I just finished watching the Indiana Jones movie
Is the screen curved?
Yes
@@andrewdaley5480 thanks 🙌I'm not gonna buy it
@@dreamboy9198 oh and you don't get a charger with it you meedcto buy that Separately its 30 uk pounds and you need to get that one because other chargers will not work. 🇬🇧
So I got the phone a few weeks after release. I got a tablet with it free & a discounted charger from honor. Yes I agree you should get a charger for free it's ridiculous. But I got one for less then a fiver. Tablet, charger & phone just over 300 quid really wasn't a bad deal.
Nearly over, but why oh why is there no plug, very bad service!!!
& is it 5G?
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
Is this the same as Honor X9b?
Yes same 🎉
Battery differs
The Magic6 Lite is basically a renamed X9b.
Sa isekas telkija
HOw quick I was here?
Wow so beautiful
Snapdragon 6 Gen 1? That's new... ;-)
Was thinking the same, guess he meant the 8 Gen 1
Thank you for your videos, can you recommend me a phone want good camera I watch UA-cam tik tok willing to pay up to £300 thanks
bro that is 100% copy of my Mate 50 Pro...
S8ish look from the front
Honor x9b got renamed
حلو
I Got Honor 90 🧸
Got it too. Awesome phone.
