Honor Magic 6 Pro Review | The Android iPhone?

- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- Reviewing the Honor Magic 6 Pro, a global Samsung S24 Ultra rival and iPhone 15 Pro Max mimic with Squircle camera and serious gaming grunt. I've been testing the Honor Magic 6 Pro as my full-time phone for a week and here's my final verdict.
Check out my reviews of the best phones of 2024 right here on Tech Spurt!
This near 7-inch phone's camera tech dominates that back end, and it's a capable shooter in any conditions. Even night photography isn't a hassle for the Honor Magic 6 Pro. You've got a 180MP zoom lens, which means decent telephoto shots in lower light, plus 4k video recording.
Gamers will also be happy with the performance and battery life here. The Honor Magic 6 Pro is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, so even Genshin Impact and the most demanding games can play with a respectable frame rate. What's unexpected is the fact that Magic OS has improved, although the Honor Magic 6 Pro also takes influence from the iPhone 15 series with its floater selfie cam shenanigans and iOS features.
The rest of those specs aren't surprising. As well as stereo speakers, the Honor Magic 6 Pro boasts a premium AMOLED screen and plenty of storage. So if you're after a premium phone like the S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro Max, check this out!

Copying iOS isn’t really a bad thing for me. An iPhone user who has a soft spot for Honor. Very tempted now.
Ye I mean I'd rather have a dynamic island copy rather than nothing at all!!
It’s funny
do you love android or iphone???...🤔🤔😌
Honor brought dynamic island first
@@Motog71-hf2gxno Apple did🤣
No one can beat uncle spurt when it comes to anime wallpapers 😂
I can beat him
Which app does he use for wallpaper?
maybe he got from zerochan, danboruu or pixiv@@baaakaaa69
@@baaakaaa69would like to know too
@@baaakaaa69he said in a short video he got his wallpapers from alpha coders website
When you feel down, just watch and listen any review of this guy and you ll have a great time
Uncle spurt that's a very interesting review. This phone might not be in canada yet but i can wait.
Dudee i love your voice its so relaxing :DD
You got to listen to your commentary as it is the best ever.
Awesome review keep it up as always brother
Man I have the S24U and been seeing a few videos of this phone. That beautiful screen, UI and clever animations would make any iphone and samsung fanboy envious. I'm hoping next years line up of samsung can follow in this direction. One UI can use a face-lift
That's why Chinese Smartphones are amazing. But Chinese Flagship-level phones are the craziest & they are insanely great!
The battery is just insane but the camera design at the back is just alien like
I love it lol
I have this phone, looks very premium in the hand.
I love it though! Looks Celestial for me! Reminds me of Bard from League of Legends.
@@worldhasgonenutsRight?
The camera design gives me trypophobia vibes.
That pwm rate is insane
Is this the new thing to care about now?
@@daleycarterit's actually a very good feature. One of those features that are going to be implemented in most phones in the next few years. Not only does it help with eye strain, but it's also fairly cheap to implement. Also, as the technology improves you are looking at great eye care levels of protection. Is just how dimming your monitors were seen as a gimmick when it first started and then it was a standard across the board.
@@daleycarter yes it is. Eye care is primordial
@@alexandervillar7742 I had no idea what it was until recently. What is seen as a good frequency rate to be considered beneficial for the eye?
@@alexandervillar7742 ah I see more clearly now, no pun intended
Those portraits are superb
Pulling down the notificationbar from the middle of the screen was the last thing holding me back from buying the Honor Magic 5 Pro. Now that this is out of the way Magic 6 Pro here I come!!
You're the best Uncle Spurt ✌️
7:36 can you add more apps in that shortcut? (like xiaomi you can select all apps) or only allows a maximum of 4?
Just FYI GBoard lets you adjust the keyboard so you can add a little bit of space under the bottom to prevent the gesture problem
Has this software update brought any long exposure modes to the camera app? Light painting, star tails etc?
I've had the Magic 5 Pro since August and love it. For the £40pm i pay for it on Vodafone i don't think there's a better phone out there for the money.
Is Google still ban?
There's no Google ban on Honor, just Huawei (even though they're the same company). If, like me, you loved Huawei phones then this is perfect.
@@The_Socko Huawei sold Honor back in Nov 2020 that's why they have all Services
@@rulewski33 I thought Huawei bought Honor in 2020?
@@The_Socko
Nope ever since Honor existed it was a sub brand of Huawei until they sold it back in Nov 2020 like i said
Going to buy this phone, very impressed with its features
Nice pictures. I'm impressed. Much more than new Xiaomi models.
Hi Tech Spurt do you buy all this phones to do reviws ? Good luck from Morocco❤
Those photo samples are insanely good
Hi where do u get your wallpapers? thx mate nice vid
Can you help me global versions phones what phone you recommend i have s24 ultra but i dont like , OnePlus 12 , honor magic 6 pro or other ? Im in uk thanks
wallpaper source ? hehe lovin it
How does the macro photography compare to the Magic Pro 5. I found the 5 excellent. I've recently traded in for the Samsung s24 ultra. And i have to be honest as i find the macro or should I say lack of macro in the s24 ultra disappointing. Unless i am missing a trick somewhere.
Watching this on my new z60 ultra. 😊
It was worth every sock I paid for it. Lucky it is still thong season in Australia.
Same!
Omg! I’m so tempted on the Z60, how’s the front camera?
@@rikiminaj not the best but hey, I'm not someone who takes a lot of selfies so I'm fine with that.
@@rikiminajthe front camera is as bad as it looks in all the reviews where people take their pictures but it will let you check if you've got something in your teeth without needing a mirror😂
@@rikiminaj pretty trash I can't lie. Though I just turn the phone around for selfies and the portraits are amazing if you do it that way (much better than a normal selfie cam)
where do you find these wallpapers for your cell phone they are very beautiful

I bought the Honor Magic 5 Pro last year. It runs on the MagicOS 7 series, it's now March 2024 and I am still waiting for it to be updated to MagicOS 8.0 which is based on Android 14. Any idea when it will happen ? When a new model is launched, there will be a lot of info on the technical aspects of the phone. After buying the phone then you realised when it comes to the upgrade to the OS can be a frustrating experience, more so when there is zilch information from the company.
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 do i go for?
Currently using xiaomi 11t pro and love it. Upgrade due now..
Not an iphone fan
Cheers
I heard that frame interpolation in Genshin Impact could be enabled in Magic 5 Pro. Is this possible in Magic 6 Pro?
Where did you get your wallpaper mate
Dear Uncle TechSpurt always love your comments it is always much appreciated this is a phone I am definitely going for this year it has an absolute going for it ,yes the software is not 100% but can be worked around with to get desktop screen to be addressed a couple of questions I have for you it is 80watt wired charge I bought a ugreen 100watt charger it says it is compatible for phone where it's wattage will only be released to charge phone as needed not overcharge safe protection.And final question as it is 66reverse watt charger what size battery charger is enough of a battery bank to protect phone from way too much mah being stored to save battery on phone life cheers for all your comments and lastly with cameras would goggle photo app help in images being processed along with processor sorry about so many questions best wishes cheers Declan 👍👍🙏🙏
I miss the days when i used (still have) my Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, Nokia N8 and Samsung S4 Zoom.
Till now ive been using Samsung zFold4 en Huawei P50pro as my daily drivers... Any suggestions which kind of upgrading phones to replace both?? I had tried iPhone 14proMax for 5months en been sold now.. Somehow i dont like the iPhone
does the epi green feel weird by any chance? do you think the colour would wear off significantly after a few months?
thank you for the review btw! always appreciate your reviews mate.
I've never thought I see someone playing Wolf & Bear on a phone review 😍
does this have the best Android camera? vs oppo find x 7 pro,, s24 ultra etc.
I watch your videos and I've always wondered where you get your WP from. Someone please tell me
... Remember, kids.
These didn't come from Apple:
- Dynamic Island (Honor had that before, but abandoned it).
- left notification panel and right control centre (Android kitkat)
- That standby feature (PalmOS)
- Gesture navigation (PalmOS)
- Airdrop (Samsung)
- Pill Shaped notch (Samsung)
Air drop- Huawei share, magic touch
Phill shape also Huawei. Hole punch honor
Multiple cameras: LG
Waiting for a competitor comparison in the same price point.
Hello, can you tell me that these Magic OS 8 changes will also be available in X9B?
Like dynamic island and new always on display?
Those features wouldn't exactly make sense on a tft lcd...
Wait is honor back to using android? Amd google play ect? The last honor i has was the 20 pro and they was going to use there own softwear after and never bought another honor but that 20 pro was the best phone and camera ive ever had for the price . I mean ive surrently got the s22 ultra and i feel the pro 20 camera was waaay more clear on the zoom , i might go back next time i upgrade
Any news when the magic portal will be available on this phone in the uk
Looks neat. They kept their curved screen.
Did you notice any sun flares while taking a photos on a sunny day?That was very noticeable on Magic 5 pro.
Can you share the ARR and VRR test ?
I like how we went from android wanting to be drastically different, to basically all of them being responses to the iPhone in some way
If i buy Chinese model, can i change that chinese yoyo assistant to Google assistant in setting?
That screen 🤩
What glass does the screen use tho? I'd like to know, I bought the Magic 5 pro and it's great but within 2 weeks I had already picked up 2 small scratches on it even tho I'm really careful with my phones, I've looked online and can't find any info on the type of glass used in the 5 or 6 pro, just says glass. This could be a deal breaker for me if it's not gorilla glass.
It's not gorilla Glass. They have a special name for it and it is more a custom thing
Nano crystal glass they said
Watched people stab the new glass with cutters, scissors, knife, metal scrub... really without a scratch. I also have Magic 5 Pro but this new one really wants me to get it cuz I hate curved screen because it's hard to get a protector but the Magic 6 Pro makes it look like you don't even need a screen protector.
link for the wallpaper pls
Where do you get these anime wallpapers
Actually tempted by this phone, it seems to nick all the best bits from other phones which is brilliant but the price is a bit much
Are you from Newcastle ?
where did you buy this phone??
Beautiful device.
Isn't Honor the original to the magic capsule? I've seen some articles but people still doesn't talk about them and always referring them copying Apple
Hey Uncle spurt I'm Amiran, just wondering U no longer have the next week part in ur videos ? 🤔 I kinda missed it where Ur cute daughter appears in ur videos then sings "this is about next week" or U do ur version of it "next week next week WTF is next week" please bring it back 😂❤
I really love ur content, watching ur videos with love from Singapore 🇸🇬 ❤
Where does he get the wallpapers from??
does satellite work on global model magic 6 pro?
The dynamic island was from Huawei first
Can you compare it to huawei mate 60 pro plus ❤❤ great video ❤
スペックがhonorの方が高い
Subscribed
If there is a branch charging function, it would be great
uncle spurt, where is the oneplus nord 3 review? It seems like a pretty balanced mid-ranger
What's the price?
Why is HONOR still making chunky phones? can you speak to them?
how many years of os support
Waiting to see the xiaomi 14 price. Really can't decide what to get. £850 for this seems okay
Does it still stutter in video apps like Odysee or third party UA-cam Clients like Newpipe when on 120Hz High mode?
Magic 5 Pro went to super stuttery with 30Hz on those. Makes video apps other than UA-cam as good as useless if you want to read comments or have the video playing in a little video.
Yeaaahhh! Nobody is saying nothing about this pain bug!! Incredible...
Great review! Was this the global or Chinese version?
Chinese
Global
Xi Jinping version
I bought Xiaomi 14 ultra. Hopefully arrive soon
Price?
Where did you get that all cool anime wallpapers.....
the always-on clock lockscreen has been around. Huawei has those already
As a Huawei user i tought i will like it...but nah...i remain to the P40 Pro for longer than i planned since no new phone caught my attention 🙃
crossfader4617 same here, I have the P40 Pro Plus and I don't think there's been any other phone with a 10x optical zoom been released by any brand, they're all doing 2.5 to 5x max and relying on increased pixel count for cropping. I can live without GMS, it definitely has some advantages not having it. But I'm hanging on for Huawei, they're fighting back big time, 5G chips are back in production for the new phones so I'm hoping they'll dust off the 10x optical set up and bring out something even better soon, won't be long before they'll be number one brand again🤫
does it supports Google services?
Can someone help me with the link to purchase
damn i want 8k video camera like the rog 8...if only
where do you get these anime wallpapers
I bought the honor magic 6 lite 5g after watching your video
Buy for me too, lol I'm interested too
Amazing phone
I do check my stocks all the time, just whenever I do its not doing anything or falling but then I can stop checking for two months and a stock I own will suddenly go up 40% in a couple of months. It's funny how that works.
That means you need to stop checking them and give them room to breathe...
Who misses the days you could buy a flagship under 190g, with a headphone jack, and natural looking photos?
Oh wait you still can but Sony is the only one doing it
But pay $1500 and only get two years of OS support? No thanks
But U can get some almost flagship phone that are smaller and lighter like the galaxy s24.
The era of a Headphone jack is simply over. The majority doesn't need one and just uses Bluetooth
@@garnetklee9837 bluetooth is still janky trash and I use headphone jacks for both audio out and audio in, on a daily basis
@@superiortoall22 i just bought my X1 mkV for £540 as a like new refurb
Sony is ugly
DXOMARK top of the list now globally
wil it replace my huawei p30 pro whit honor
I absolutely love the rounded corner! And that 4-sided curved screen? It's simply amazing - both beautiful and so useful.
The design is really clever, and the software has been improved so much - it's great!
Appreciate your honest software feedback, thank you! Just one small request though, if you wouldn't mind avoiding the use of profanity, that would be awesome!
No offense, but if you don't want to hear profanity you're at the wrong channel.
@@kbtriplesix Reviews aren't easy to take seriously when too much profanity is featured. It's a general rule of thumb.
@@distar7471 I don't think he wants to be taken 100% seriously. It's a humorous review channel. If you don't like his attitude there are plenty other reviewers.
@@kbtriplesix Remember, constructive criticism isn’t about clawing someone down-it’s about lifting them up. So, think of it as a friendly pat on the back, encouraging creators! 🐾🎥😸
@@distar7471 you make a fair point
Does anyone have any idea how many hours of average or above average usage of honor magic 6 pro?
Hello Can You Share Where You Get Those Wallpapers?
Those are not wallpapers. Those are sound damping foams.
Seriously though what museum were you at?!
What is thst fps boost option
noob question but , does it have google Feed? you know that option all the way to the LEFT when you swipe ...
Yes...
My next phone is either this or Xiaomi 14 Ultra
I think very few users are fan of wireless charging.
Does the phone have 90 fps in pubg mobile?
I couldn't see that the genshin impact is that much graphics intensive. Can you show the ULTRA graphics ?
Hey Guys, is it a Chinese machine? Did it have Google, play store ?
Honor got dynamic island back in 2018 with the Honor V20 as far as I can remember. Get your facts right.
This device is a good choice of which type of users wo like iphone but bored his limited software feature.
