    I’m an avid iPhone user for over 10 years now and every now and then get the urge to try something different. My wife has gone from iPhone to an S23 Ultra and loves it while I’ve always had a soft spot for Honor/Huawei. My only concern is the software and updates for this phone, if you can maybe do a video regarding the updates for this phone when they arrive that might sway me.

    A really helpful review of your genuine usage of the phone. I especially like how you use a split screen when needed. Like where you showed a screenshot of the refresh rate settings menu - lets the viewer see the actual experience as opposed to hearing that you can select "dynamic mode". 0:54

    Great review, I'm on the fence whether to keep it or not coming from the pixel 7 pro. Many photos are inconsistent. When they are good they are great. I hope Honor will keep refining the camera, but I'm not confident. They are not good with monthly security patches let alone making improvements especially as they have been ranked no.1 on dxomark. Not sure how they achieved that! Mine runs hot and the battery isn't great. Maybe needs a factory reset which isn't good as I've only had it for 2 weeks and not loaded many aps. I like your style of review. It's unique and not annoying like so many others. Subscribed if I haven't already!

    • @JustStephen89
      @JustStephen89  Місяць тому

      Thankyou for the kind words about the review. Appreciate it. Tbf I'm not 100% sure how they got the dxo scores either. I think it must be out of a lot of photos they rank the best or something. I hear you in regards to the camera not always being good. For me the majority of the time it's really good. The odd time I've tried things like the motion capture and it failed miserably but the other times it's been perfect. Hopefully they refine it with updates. Mine doesn't run hot at all so that might be your unit? And my battery is mega so not sure if yours may be defective? Might need to contact Honor about that?

    Than about the comparison against the S24 Ultra many are saying when the S Pen is not important for you than is the Magic 6 Pro are better phone. Ive tested both. And tested it against the 15 Pro Max. And i keep the Magic 6 Pro as my daily driver for now. I waiting for the P70 series of Huawei to come out. But i think until now nothing can beat the 6 Pro for now.

    And honestly saying this, Honor Magic 6 Pro overall isn't bad at all, but the issue is that they ain't trying to fix it through the software updates.
    Even if they did it, it would take it decades for their slow updates. And guess what.
    It was addressed already when was launched in the China, which is 2 months ago as it still hasn't been fixed yet.
    And even the Honor Magic 5 Pro has better processing stability than the Honor Magic 6 Pro which failing with the Post Processing and the Video Stabilization, which is big deal.

    Honor magic 6 ultimate ❤
    I was a previous Vivo x100 pro user. For the honor magic 6 ultimate from 2.5x 5x 10 x good detailed results. But above 10x is not recommended. For good and detailed 2x 5x super macro photos. And for Magic OS it is very useful with Apple-like features. Back again to individual tastes for the respective colors of Vivo or Honor...

    I've used Huawei forever but without GMS I've been having issues. Samsung is overrated and I don't like apple so I've been searching for a worthy replacement for my Huawei P40 Pro. I went in to a store where I met with an Honor representative where I could see a live unit and try it out. These are my takes (I have now bought it).
    I was adamant that I did not want the green. But after seeing the green in real life I was so taken back. It is gorgeous and video and pictures don't do that colour justice. I actually ended up choosing the green. It's subtle, unique and makes a statement without being over the top or gaudy.
    The cameras really surprised me especially the zoom. Way better than I expected and better than my P40 Pro which has a 5x optical lens. I agree I wouldn't go above 30x but all great nonetheless. And I do understand why it's number 1 on DXO mark.

    • @JustStephen89
      @JustStephen89  23 дні тому +1

      The compression is good for Instagram but like all android phones, Instagram is best suited for iPhone unfortunately. Although on the Honor it is really good and the quality is great I don't think you could really tell the difference unless you were trying to find something. So for most people they'd mlbe more than happy. Me included 👍🏾

      In my humble opinion the Honor takes it for the deals you can get along with the spec of the phone. It's very similarly spec'd to the Samsung only camera and battery are different. Camera is subjective,some will say Honor or Samsung. But the battery is clear cut Honor all the way. Overall the Honor is a beast you have to respect 👍🏾

    I am currently a Xiaomi Redmi 6 user.
    I'm looking to upgrade to a new phone.
    Have you heard of Nothing, the company? Wish you could compare Nothing Phone 2 & Nothing Phone 2a to Honor Magic 6 Pro.
    The "reviews" that already made by some don't satisfy me. I need someone to make a direct comparison between Nothing Phone 2a and Honor Magic 6 Pro.
    Curious question: did I saw that right? Does Honor Magic 6 Pro has a horizontal battery icon in status bar?
    And had you ever felt like when you using a Honor Magic 6 Pro - had it have you a vibe of using an iPhone?

    • @JustStephen89

      Yeh definitely heard of nothing. I had looked at their phones but I really wanted a really good phone camera and good battery. They're cameras aren't bad but nothing to shout about, also they pride themselves on being an apple alternative, that's not what I want I want an android phone.
      Using this phone has similarities to all phones iPhone included but the ease of use and customised features it has makes it a different phone entirely to iPhone. It's not an iPhone clone at all whereas the nothing is trying to woo customers away from apple with the similarities to it.

    I can tell you why there are so many critics about it the Honor Magic 6 Pro, but it's not hardware problem, but the camera's and video's software issues that haven't fixed already! Because:
    1. Camera color inconsisteny (contracty and saturated sometimes)
    2. Pictures sometimes become Hit or Miss, even when it's the same place just in different position, they become very different from each other, which one of them is very good, but when shot again - It missed the details and colors
    3. Zoom at 5x range, it becomes very sharp and very saturated, that sometimes it start to hurt eyes, when you shot many photos with telephoto camera
    4. Video stabilization is bad, It sometimes even jugling it even when you just walk, but when running is like smartphone without stabilizator in 2024. and when zooming it, it becomes even worse than a mid-tier smartphone
    5. Video performance is just ok, but when you start zooming, it starts to fix colors from blue to black and etc.
    And there are actually even more issues with it, starting from that the AI processing everything trying to smooth everything out- details, color corection, faces, and bassicaly everything in photo as it becomes trash photos, as it the video performance tho.
    This is just not okay with 2024 flagship smartphone. I was expecting more of it!
