Overall the HONOR Magic6 Pro and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra are two of the best phones from China in 2024 which can compete with Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max. I'm so glad that we have such a wide range of flagships to choose from 🥳
I'd say it's better than samsung
And p60 pro
Oppo x7 pro and vivo x100 left the chat
OnePlus 12 is also quite good
No it really isn't the 6 pro zoom is terrible compared to vivo and s24ultra
The camera is just mind blowing there’s so much realism in the telephoto and the video camera
Good stuff man, love the shirt!
Excellent review!
The stills from this camera look absolutely amazing. Especially on the 2.5 telephoto. And this is coming from a Google Pixel super fan. Those night time shots are a dream.
Thank you buddy for making this amazing reviwe god bless You and bless Your family 😊
I wish Honor Magic 6 Pro had a 4/6 or 10-stop variable aperture(f1.4 to f4.0) in the main cam and also a 2/4-stop variable aperture(f2.0 to f4.0) to on the 180 MP periscope telephoto cam with 3.5x optical zoom or 85mm focal length. Then it will become the ultimate camera phone.
this is what i want.... good camera, , good processor, big battery....
The Honor Magic 6 pro looks really nice.
Except the Hobbit-Green Model
@@sandrahildebrand4475in my opinion green model is my favorite
Loved the phone, today received
best phone on Market
A suggestion would be to also include 4K 60fps video in the reviews too.
Very much impressed with this phone over s24 and iphone15
Great video! Considering this or the Oppo Find X7 Ultra as someone who doesn't game but would love to use a great camera phone with a strong battery. Will you review the Oppo Find X7 Ultra?
Honor magic 6 pro
Vivo x100 Pro
In which city do you take the photos? It looks beautiful.
great Video and I like your content. this is a great phone it takes great photos, and it looks beautiful, but I am Huawei fan, and I am still happy with my P60 pro.
can you using GMS in Huawei?
Honor and Xiaomi
man..their flagships are lit this yr.
I i agree 👍🎉🎉
Cannot wait for samsung a35 and a55 review❤🎉
People pretend that the s ultra phones are the only android flagships which exist but honor, Huawei, oppo and vivo can make great flagships too.
This one sounds pretty promising, especially the Face unlock
Hey. Can someone help me find the magic portal settings on my Honor Magic 6 Pro? Or isnt it available yet for UK?
If that phone had 3.5 optimal zoom instead 2.5, will be the best phone ever done by any company, all included (price, display, battery, selfie, performance). The 2.5 optimal zoom is a bit turn off from previous year magic5 pro. I know why they done it and give it with 180mp quality boost but still, people love optimal zooms. I hope they listen the complains and the next model come with 3.5 zoom or quad cameras on the back. Also the selfie of the phone is the best I have seen in any chinese phone. Impressive
I absolutely agree with you
this 2.5x zoom is like 3x on every other phone. Still has better details up to 10x than any phone rn especially in low light.
@@lukebrady65 I only watched vs s24u,and even on 5x (which is optical on s24u) honor destroyed it... As I said,especially in low light ambient.
@StrahinjaRadinovic What about the Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra with its 10 x optical zoom? I'm sorry, but 2.5 x sucks after 2.5 x it's all digital Zoom, and 180 MP can only do so much. 5 x optical zoom should be standard
@@lukebrady65go and watch some test,and you will see,it is not that hard,there are a few videos,don't be stupid and don't have conclusion before you see something.
Please do a video on iqoo neo 9 pro
GSMArena are my go to site for comparison they rock and I wonder why their shots are in Sofia, Bulgaria. Are you guys based in Sofia?
Колега,преди години продадох един айгон 2g,на един младеж,който се оказа,че е от редакторите на gsmarena,каза че е международен сайт,имат редсктори от няколко страни,но повечето видеа и снимии са от София.Мисля че бяха базирани около бул България,в горния край към. околовръстното,но това беше преди 7-8години:)
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?
This year its a riot of phones
Xiaomi 14 ultra specs and price are higher than iPhone 15 Pro max
Flagship phones with large batteries 🔋 are blessings
Is it fair to give telephoto camera judgement without human portraits??
🤔 How about reviewing the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus 5G please?
Please do a review of Tecno Pova 6
I wouldn love if you could compare phones that are in the same price bracket
i actually like the "softness" in the camera. i absolutely hate the trend of smartphone cameras to have the sharpest, even oversharpened images ever, i think the photos from this smartphone look great compared to a real camera! was considering a phone from the "big" like apple, samsung or google, but all these cameras look some kind of artificial, which i see less on the honor!
I just got this phone like 2 days ago and it's a beast! The other unbelievable thing is it is cheaper than S24 Ultra and iPhone by quite a lot.
what im afraid with these kind of phones is that in a 6 months time will start to lose battery life, lag and lots of problems
No. @@theEm95
@@theEm95 mine already started with bad battery life, stay away from it
@aleparty82 that's the problem with their unoptimised OS in my opinion. Good hardware but trash software. I had Oppo, Honor, Huawei, among other "flagship killers" along the years and I went back to Samsung since they all resisted for a maximum of 1 year, at best. Just spend the extra money for long time software support
It's cheaper for a reason
I recently put this comment on their website:
I technically don't know what you can run on a 23nm chip, but interesting concept, with a circular speaker and two audio jacks. Probably, for people who still complain about newer phones do not come with an audio jacks, so we have two for you. 😁
This comment was somehow couldn't be posted according to their moderator.
Could anyone say why?
I think your comment was a too harsh criticism on their flagship. Though you made a very good point about adding 2 headphone jacks. It seems that it’s an overkill.
@@proudbacteria1373 this was about another phone
Did this phone upload video on youtube are 2160p HDR? Or 2160p only?
Can this "face id" it have be used for payments or just to unlock the device?
I had Huawei P40 Pro and got 2TB of cloud storage for a very good price. I have a question: Would I be able to use that cloud storage for Honor Magic 6 Pro?
does it suffer of too many flares during night videos ??
center cameras are back, baby
That phone looks like it would be nice to hold in the hand.
Incrible ❤😊
For the price, it's a great all rounder. Tho the only downgrade I dislike is the shorter 2.5x zoom from the 3.5x zoom of the Honor Magic 5 Pro. Otherwise, a good value flagship.
2024 2.5x optical zoom not perfect minimum requirement 3.5x or more zoom
2.5x 180mp = 10x at 11.25mp
It has more resolution so its better than last year's 3.5x
@@Porumb megapixel count does not equal to better zoom ranges even with enhanced digital zoom.
@@joelconolly5574 i meant quality picture
Loved this phone
Competition Manufacturers are offering the same SPECS, Sadly no one is offering affordable option.
Wow, a lot of scenes in this video are captured in Sofia Bulgaria, I'm impresed by the phone specs for the price, and maybe it's better choice than Xiaomi 14 Ultra 😊
Think this way be my new phone on 3 network (UK) soon. Moving from OnePlus 10 pro. It's not available on contract.
The camera quality on this phone looks really good.
yeah. if u think fake and boosted colors is good
@@mehrabkhan1997 well, you know what they say “ opinions are like a holes. Everybody has one.
especially the night photography and videos looks best amongst flagship
I am SERIOUSLY THINKING about switching from my S23 Ultra to the Honor 6 Pro. 🤔
Software is similar to Huawei's, I love the cameras. I think it is a great successor fornthose of us who need Google Services
Honor used to be owned by Huawei. They still use use Huawei's emui aka magic os. In secret I believe they still own honor
I own Magic5 Pro, my wife owns Z Flip3, I can tell you that Samsung's camera app has much more features than Honor's.
But I personally like the image tone from Magic5 Pro.
Which camera is better? Vivo x 100 pro or honor magic 6 pro?
With all this smartphones the questin is , what phone is will from gsmarena use?
Yoo mate! I recognise that photo of a boat catering on water. It is a Huawei/Honor wallpaper
@@sardorbek6399 yeah but the question remains : What smartphone is will using?
Still waiting for the Z60 Ultra review. You got the phone a month ago 😔
and Honor Magic 6 Pro's screen is really tough, Lim Review drop it like 7 times, no damage
Problem is Dynamic Island perfectly matches i phones only due to same screen curvature and app icon in honor it looks weird aesthetically not pleasing
way better than samsung and iphone
what about vibretion???
Everyone speaks differently. Now, is the screen technology of this phone Oled or Amoled?
Hopefully there is 4k60fps on all of it lens.not like last gear no 60fps on selfie.too bad.but non pro have 60fps.suprise2
Great phone but where I can find magic portal settings on my phone?
Setting > Assistant
Hi, what other chargers did you try? I'm curious if it would charge fast with 100w ugreen charger
Newer Honor phone accept PD charging protocol.
I get super charging for my Magic5 Pro using 65W PD wall charger with 2-meter 60W C-to-C cable which is fast enough so I can leave the original wall charger and cable in the box 😊
Thank you for your answer!
If i hadn't bought a Samsung Galaxy Flagship last year this would be my first choice.
S24 any version is virtually the same as 2yrs ago(I have s22+) Time for something different from a company that makes an effort, this could be it I think
Does anyone know if the glass is durable? As in will it smash easily? Its not gorilla glass so ehat kind it it?
It is quite durable as seen in various drop tests uploaded on UA-cam. It's not gorilla glass but they got their own kind forgot the exact name. This phone is a beast honestly and only a matter of getting used to their software/skin.
can you actually use the facial recognition with banking apps?
In the EU no. At least with the 2 bank apps I tried with. They mention face unlock but only offered me fingerprint. Im guessing it's only coded for iphones.
Hey! I just noticed that Will's left cheek is drooping.
Is he alright? I hope it's not an early sign of Bell's Palsy.
Please take care.
Is there much difference in battery life compared to the Magic 5 Pro? like photos and videos, is it better or worse than the previous generation? Thanks for the info
As you can see at 5:16 the battery life is noticeably better
My magic 6 pro loses 12% battery overnight. Overall, I'm not quite as satisfied with the battery life.
the battery drain at night is really too much. However, I have the 5 pro and I don't think I'll upgrade... it's not worth it, especially after what I've heard from other reviews too... main lens is good but everything else it doesn't excel
Sorry, you were mumbling a bit. You said it will not bundled with a charger?
The dynamic island on this phone is so much better than iphones dynamic island hands down honor
GSMArena is BEST
The best smartphone in the world?
what is its connectivity with 4g? you did not specify anything, you only specified Lte. also state on the gsmarena website what kind of connectivity it has. you know those figures and so on, as you write the parameters for all types of signals nicely for all devices. thank you.
I believe 4g is out the window for every service it's all 5g now
The global version has a 5g toggle.
@@uabozo_ I ask why? because they wrote only Lte on the website, and it is not the same Lte in China and globally I had an honor magic5 pro which is sold globally and actually supports 4g, but Chinese 4g, which is worse in Europe, has a slower connection. that's why I say that they list all the parameters that concern the connection and signal, and not for some they write, and for some they don't. For example honor magic6 pro and maybe some others just wrote Lte. but whose Lte..
Why they didn't include barometer tho
How to settings to use 180 megapixel?
In high res mode you can switch to 180mp
If not the cursed curved display I would probably buy it
idk why ppl are so against it like, have u try it? do you know that they have the option to resize their edge touch area if u have trouble on accidental touch? but tbh most of these phones display has evolved in a way that they're actually smart enough to recognize your accidental touch, i literally set mine to 100% on the edge touch area and never had trouble with it. didn't mean any offense, i just genuinely curious about the hate. well maybe the galaxy s6 edge had some issues with their edge touch, but this is not 2015 anymore lol
@@billyjosephus4885Exactly agree with your opinions.
The edge curve is so much better on phone nowdays imo. I do believe they've done many R&D to make the curved edge way better when it was released years ago
@@billyjosephus4885also expensive to replace. Using my Mate 50 Pro with broken screen for a year because screen replacement is expensive.
Haw much price
Got the Magic 5 pro, so not sure it’s worth the upgrade?
Keep the Magic 5 pro. It is still awesome and can compete.
I own Magic5 Pro and I think will keep using it.
For the sake of camera phone, my next one might be Vivo X100 Pro.
wait untill the Honour Magic 6 Ultimate it's launched in the next few months.. that'll be their ultimate top of the line.
This is more of a Samsung galaxy s24 or iphone 15 plus competitor.
There's no ultimate with Honor lines...
@@atemkeng33there is but I think it's China exclusive
@@atemkeng336rsr?
@@atemkeng33it does have but only for China market.
And I personally think the Ultimate will have minimal differences compared to Pro - just like the Magic5 series.
Like 14Ultra 💥🔥🔥🔥🔥
3D face unlock should be a standard on Android
Unfortunately optical zoom downgraded in every new smartphone, 10x optical only in s21ultra,s22 ultra,s23 ultra, Huawei p40 pro+..
Where is it available globally?
In Europe, China, many places
Software updates??
3:11
who cares about those, majority updates fuck up your phone as they add more and more garbage
Magic is a Huawei phone in sheep's clothing.
😂
The black colour is matte black
I hate the recording time limit, i use my phone to record up to 4 hours daily because of my job (i can't use a video camera due to space constrains)
This one does not have that
Video is all good, good review, but calling one of the best camera on phones just "very good" hurts me haha
5:48 A what telephoto?😱
2.5 ???? Downgrade from Magic5 with its 3.5
I claim this phone 🙏, if I sell a property this month, I will buy that Amen 🙏
I think the OnePlus 12 is the better choice tbh over this. But that's just me
What speaks for the OnePlus? I don't see it and because they cost the same, I'd take the Honor
Honor:
+ Face ID
+ Best Battery life on the flagship market
+ Best screen, speakers and selfies (according to dxomark)
+ 66W wireless charging (OnePlus:50W)
(+ Better camera than oneplus 12)
-/+ curved screen
OnePlus 12:
+ higher pixel density (510ppi)
+ 100W charging (Honor: 80W)
(+Capable of 8k 24fps video)
- only IP65
One thing this phone need
viewing notifications by swiping from the middle of the screen
Swipe from the middle can be used to open the notification bar.
cool
Love From India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
How big do these cameras have to bloody be
If you want a better camera, obviously you have to equate the bigger sensor, bigger lens etc.
❤❤❤
❤❤
Gsmarena has the most bland reviews ever. The phone could shoot rockets and the guys wouldn t get excited. It s annoying and on the reasons the channel doesn t have more success even though it has like 1000 reviews
This is so true. I always wondered if it was just me feeling that way. They just read from a script. Their website reviews are so much better.
And that's why I prefer GSM reviews over the hysterical attention seeking
Spotty faced tossers!!
then why are you here, buy the phone yourself and make your own review, until then keep it muted and sit back on your ass and watch
😂😂🎉🎉😂🎉🎉😂😂🎉🎉🎉😢😂
1.x7 ultra 2.magic 6 pro 3.iphone15
In india it is not available
All I see is what Huawei is supposed to be😅
I would buy this over a Samsung any day
One thing I don't like about those Chinese phones is that they always have curved displays and a lot of people are tired of those.
I love curved screens. It is just way more ergonomical, especially for swipe gestures from the sides.
