I've had every pixel phone and fancied a change three weeks in with the Magic6Pro I'm liking it, it's really grown on me, as suggested in other comments I use Gboard and made it bigger, compared to the Pixel8Pro I had the hardware is better, the screen is better, the battery life is better, the sound is better, the software isn't as good but it's pretty good, cameras are really good, really happy with it 👍
And the network signal is recieved much (really much) better than on a samsung, pixel or iphone. (Yes, i make phone calls with a phone, a thing that reviewers evidently dont do)
Great content. On my HM5 Ultimate in settings you have to select "direct unlocked" so you won't have to swipe up during face unlock. I'm glad Honor phones work great here in the states because I've grown tired of Samsung and Apple.
I have the honor magic 6 pro and download the Google Gboard (as with all my previous phones). You are right that the keyboard is way too low but you can actually move the keyboard upwards no problem. I set it to the regular height and have no more typing issues.
I am having honor Magic 6 pro. At starting I also faced the same issue with typing. Then I adjusted my Gboard keyboard and move it bit up like I was used to have on Pixel 7 pro. Now, I don't feel that problem anymore while typing.
I switched from Samsung S22 Ultra to Honor Magic6 Pro. All that I can say is that this phone in my own personal opinion is truly MAGIC!!! I have no issue with the keyboard, Swiftkey is default in my life. Everything is great on this phone, let's not forget the cameras... 5 stars on slow motion part which is the best at 1080p 240fps. Also as @thrdeye said, speakers are AMAZING!
Hardware is here ,so it's only a matter of time for software update ! it takes great videos, it's just a little behind on night video with others flagships ..
I can see that Honor has a lot of room to improve. This is brand new phone, only 3 weeks old in the market. Im pretty sure that the company are listening to the reviews, and should make an update it in the future.
Why Magic 6 Pro? At least in europe absolutely flagship specs without compromise but 400€ cheaper. You could save 200€ more with Pixel 8 Pro or Oneplus 12, but then we are not talking about the highest flagship specs and performance(Mostly the camera on oneplus12 and the chipset + battery on the P8Pro).
with pixel you have way better pics with low light, better video stabilisation and 7 years of upgrades. If all you care is running benchmarks then yeah get the Honor
@@xeon2k8I watched the video, i actually watched many more videos and comparisons and I can say I like the hm6p in low light, and often like it more than pixel or samsung that overbrighten the scene. Video stabilization is a point i guess, but also remember honor has better screen, battery, charging speed, so its not just benchmark score lol. Also face unlock is amazing. Educate yourself a bit before shitting on something and also remember cameras are somehow subjective.
@@abis2235 cAmErAs aRe SuBjEcTiVe, lol the many videos you watched were teletubbies clips? should we also call 7 years support vs 4 subjective too. Funny who has to educate itself huh...cheers
If you want a phone mostly for photos, this is top pick! Way better than any iPhone. I trust DXOMARK ranking for choosing the right phone more than anyone else has to say.
The phone is hands down one of the ugliest designs ever in a modern smartphone... But overall my #1 pick for the best phone of 2024 so far aside from the ultimate version
This is the only out of the box designed phone right now. Thanx to Honor for not providing a monotonous design like others. I guess you have a disgusting taste bud.
@@Moneymaker-uy4fe tap the three dots on top right corner of keyboard, gear icon, layput & keys, resize. You can adjust height, move keyboard up and down. This reviewer is not that good
I love its curved screen. Hides the little bezels very well and makes swiping from the bottom or sides easier. Hate the boxy brick designs with flat screens. It is the only reason I didn't get S24 Ultra and waited for this.
It's what I did, but not to much as I feel like I am loosing space when keyboard expanded over website/rest of screen/ Actually comparing to my 2022 Galaxy S22 Ultra competitor a Motorola flagship Edge Pro, when on gesture mode (not navigation with 3 buttons) the Moto has a white line below the keyboard and above it empty space by default, so together it's like 8mm from the bottom, close to 1cm. 1st day the honor seemed like ops is this not thought off, typing at the very bottom with this heavy upper camera bump part, but I moved it a little up and I am used to it, I have even a little more space until I reach the Motorola, because the fonts on the Honor seemed a bit bigger and I have to keep them on Min, instead default to be perfect in 95% of the cases, only when typing FB post the font is too small, otherwise it fixed the large font taking more space basically. After these 2 I started getting used to it every day more and more, and now I think it's aa gorgeous flagship Android. I even found the 1st disassembly video and things are looking good.
I use the default swiftkey keyboard and just resize and move it a bit up. That makes it a very good typing device. Maybe even resize the left and right size as well, so keys don't touch the curved screen
I give you total right, the typing is so shitty, BUT, use Swiftkey and change the SIZE of the keyboard and swipe the bottom a little higher, than it will be like every other phone, as Honor makes it too much down the bottom, which gave me always miss placed letters. Now it is the same like all other pones and of course, when gestures activated, activate the line on the bottom.
How are haptics on this phone? Lack of haptics on the back gesture, I can't position the keyboard the way I want, and then can't use the 3rd party launcher is a few of the annoyances I have felt. Thing I loved the most is display more specifically watching HDR content is way better than S23 Ultra or OnePlus 11 or even Xiaomi 13 Ultra (talking about Honor Magic 5 Pro) Phone smoothening is only matched by OnePlus 11 else S23 Ultra or Xiaomi 13 Ultra feels less smooth compared to Honor.
Samsung is truly overrated and every Samsung product I've had crapped out after 2 years or before. Every galaxy S up to the S20 either had major battery issue before the 2 year mark and they become super laggy and slow and a few of my galaxy devices just crashed. Software wise, I didn't dig it either. The galaxy z fold was the last straw. Literally just before the 2 year mark it no longer wants to charge and switches off when folded even with 100% charge. So clearly something has gone wrong. And it isn't just their phones. Samsung fridge and microwave were shite always needing repairs. I once had an LG phone and my family still uses my V30 to this day. And my Huaweis were always rock solid never slowing down, battery remaining good and overall being way better built than an equivalent Samsung. For all these reasons, Samsung is off my list so I'll take anything else. The Google Pixel isn't available in my country.
I will be getting one on my next contract. It will cost only 40 pounds per month and for a phone with 12 gigs of ram and 512 gigs of storage its a steal It hasbetter performane than a Pixal or a Galaxy ultra. comparable. if not better cameras too
I'm still using Huawei mate 20 pro! 😂 I'm on my third one as I have yet to find a replacement phone that I like! 🤣 But am giving serious consideration to this honor 6
I bought the Honor Magic 6pro over the Samsung S24ultra and Pixel 9pro mostly due to price the Honor was £799 the S24u was £1199 for less specs only 256 compared to 512gb HM6P. the Pixel was being released at £1099. And although will have a great camera and good AI, the hardware won't be as good as the S24u or HM6P.
At the moment I'm using the Honor magic 5 pro . Love to get the Honor magic 6 pro never bought off Honor website is it available on contract from them ?
We can create clone of almost every app (like Amazon seller app and Google authenticator app) on Redmi or Xiaomi's phone. Can we do the same on Honor Magic 6 pro ? Please reply...
Sorry, but this is a poor review. Why are you surprised with the face unlock being good? It literally has the same mechanism present on iPhones. As a lot of people have suggested here, the keyboard can be greatly customised if you care enough. Please put a little more effort into your reviews.
A lot of effort went into the review actually. I found the keyboard difficult to use, average consumers won't know how to move the keyboard up & this was my experience.
I have a Honor 50, I can vouch for battery life stays outstanding even after 2 years. I dropped it into water many times and came out without any damage. I cannot really say the same for any of the IPhones or Samsungs I owned in the past. The only reason I am thinking about upgrading is due to the video lagging with 4k recording, but I think I will stick to Honor in the future.

Keyboard is customisable. Are you just forcing to look for some negatives
Received yesterday in UAE, one of the best design, fresh and unique.
I am having honor Magic 6 pro. At starting I also faced the same issue with typing. Then I adjusted my Gboard keyboard and move it bit up like I was used to have on Pixel 7 pro. Now, I don't feel that problem anymore while typing.
Red magic phones have 6000mah batteries along with ROG phones. Oneplus 12r is 5500mah 12 is 5400
I did say "one of" 😂
@@1PaulJ I didn't list all of them that would take forever lol
theres no flagship devices with 5600mah besides the magic 6 pro. Also, honor has mid range phones with 6000mah

@@FernandoGarcia-mq7xu it depends on the person preference. But I really love this phone. In my opinion... Yes, it's worth it. .
@@kvigneshraja verry good, Do like I did, go in a store and play with the demo phone. It took me 10 min to decide that it's a good phone.
Forgot to mention that I bought a Magic6 Pro for my wife first. She had a Huawei P30 Pro before. After one day, I bought one for myself ☺.
Better than my s24 ultra
Do you think Honor will make some updates to further improve the shortcomings of their cameras? Specially night time video?
Yes bro
yeah with the magic 7 pro, just forget it.
Hardware is here ,so it's only a matter of time for software update !
it takes great videos, it's just a little behind on night video with others flagships ..
Love the video. It's honest and not too long and made the suggestions for me to not buy it

Man use Google keyboard and raise it
get the xiamoi 14u or s24u bro
Xiaomi is rubbish @@ashouhdy
Ur keyboard is low because youve hidden the navigation bar
I think you were an iPhone user till now😂
Bcz this is the only Premium segment who offer PWM DIMMING ,while S24 ,iphones dont
I adjusted my phone keyboard so it's okay for me
They need to work on the hardware design seriously... Most of oem android phone now have ugly camera...

How

You can adjust height, move keyboard up and down. This reviewer is not that good
How dare you? A reviewer shouldn't know that...
@@Famous_Mist these are basics. Lol. What are you mad about?

I think honor released magic island before Apple did
u mean huawei*
Why don't you raise the keyboard? On Google keyboard you can raise the keyboard so like there will be an empty space beneath the keyboard
My thoughts exactly!!! It's like every reviewer keeps talking about this as if they don't know what they are talking about
@@DeRockeyTech they have so much going on, and people forget... But thankfully a lot of tech UA-camrs read the comments XD
@NedalHanna a lot going on. Right. I think sometimes' easier to complain rather than take time to find a solution.
It's using a Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard which, he can just raise and move up the whole keyboard easily to match his thumb position.

Just bought this phone for £720. Samsung cannot compete with that.
I'm in UK and looking to buy one. Where did you get yours for that price?
I would buy the honor over the pixel just because of the better performance of the honor
2024 is the year of the ugliest camera bumps
Well Honor didn't copy dynamic island. Honor magic capsule came up in 2019 meaning apple copied from Honor 😑
i have a s24 plus currently should i upgrade to this phone honor magic 6 pro ?
If You want better cameras, then YES! I own a Huawei p50 pro and I can say that is on par with S24 Ultra. A phone from 2021 ...
Finally, someone complained about keyboard, because we have to complain about something. It's absolutely the same as the other android I ever had

Haptics are perfectly fine! Keyboard is my biggest annoyance
For the keyboard issue, I just use Swift Key and expand the keyboard if it's too small
This phone reportadely does not support Jio 5G network in India. It is not launched in India officially
better sound?
you really have to invest more time and care to review a phone.
