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.
Thanks for that. And yes I'll keep you updated with what updates I get and how long it takes for them to fix the bugs and things that will undoubtedly arise in the months to come 👌🏾
everyone start somewhere, great job on this one, keep it coming!!! I LOVE IT
Thanks for the nice words. That's the plan to keep cranking out videos. Appreciate it
honestly, these youtube channels are the only ones you can trust nowadays lol. Thanks for the review. I would love to see some screen on time figures as well (i know its subjective) but it'd be nice to take a look at.
Glad I found this review. Feels like the more established channels are being paid to advertise and not giving their honest opinion. Even comments on those videos feel fake
@@JonPedro0 thats true, they talk about the features only not their opinions of them.
Appreciate the feedback guys. With what I've got I try to do honest reviews, if I like it I like it and if I don't I'll say I don't. I agree that people give positive feedback for crap things.. Not me though, not this channel👍🏾
@@JustStephen89 goodluck!
Great review!
Thanks, I'm trying to get better a video at a time.. Appreciate your comment 👍🏾
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
Thanks for that. I've been watching tons of videos to try and get better. It's about showing not just telling and trying to remember to show is the hard part. I'm trying and will continue to try. But thanks for the nice words. Shows I'm going in the right direction 👍🏾
Stephen, you're doing great brother, very good review, i preciate your honest opinion about the honor 6 pro regarding the 100 x zoom, keep up the good work 😀.
Appreciate the feedback my man. Thanks for the confidence boost. Glad I'm going in the right direction
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.
It's not been out long. I'm giving the the benefit of the doubt they will soon roll out some updates addressing some of the things you've said 👍🏾
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!
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?
Mine stays cool and the battery is great, maybe you got a bad egg, I'd try a factory reset if I was you if that doesn't work swap it. The phones great
Clearly a great well spec'd phone as you would expect from a flagship device, still using my s22 ultra which for me has a fantastic camers, great video 👌
S22 ultra is a great phone. Samsung make great phones. Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching
nice video dude, i bought green honor magic 6 pro last week and i love it :D its so good with that battery and its so fast, much better than my s23 that i had
Thanks, appreciate it. I would have got the green it was just sold out when I tried to get it. The battery is one of the most impressive things it has it's so good. And so obvious that it's so good. Very impressive phone
Global pack and China pack are different in terms of quality?
No not in terms of quality. China variant doesn't have Google play, search or any Google services like Gmail 👍🏾
I think they will make a software update for 100x zoom with AI feature similar to Xiaomi 14 ultra that will make the picture somehow usable.
I think so as well, not sure how good it will be however as it would need to make a huge difference to what we've got now
thx mate👍
No problem 👍
Great review 👍one question? From where you get the case. Looks amazing.😊
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.
I got the case off Amazon. It's a cheap one but it does the trick just fine. It's called the natbok case for honour magic 6 pro
@@JustStephen89 thank you very much my friend ☺️
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...
What's the Vivo like? There not popular in England, not sure how I'd buy one to be honest. I agree with the 10x zoom, above isn't worth it. And the software and personalisation is pretty good on the Honor so I'm happy with my purchase so far. Let's see how it stacks up after a few months
@@JustStephen89 already get beta update yesterday on my honor magic 6 ultimate
how is this phone's compression to instagram uploads? we all know that IOS looks better than s24 when uploading vids and pics on stories and posts but how does this one hold up to it?
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 👍🏾
@@JustStephen89 perfect reply. Thank you so much
Your welcome. Anytime.. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏾, Trying to do these videos to help people out 👌🏾
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.
Do you use any screen protector in magic 6 pro?
Is this phone need a screen protector?
It comes with one straight out the box that's pretty good. I did buy a glass screen protector off Amazon but haven't put it on yet. The one out the box is holding up really well so far. Ino this phone is meant to be drop resistant but I'm not taking any chances and if I was you keep the one on it it comes with or get yourself a glass one 👍🏾👍🏾
@@JustStephen89 can you share me the link of that glass protector?
It's just off Amazon, I haven't used it yet so I don't want to give you the one I used in case it isn't good . The one it comes with works perfectly fine so I'd wait and see how you feel before buying another
I got mine yesterday about 17:00 about evening time when I inboxes it was on 16 procent installed some apps updated the phone, and charge it after I installed everything from 18:00 til nog 11:22 I still have 46 procent left I woke up with 68, I already did some things shot some pictures and the phone is still giving no sings of its going empty I think 2 day or maybe 3 days with minimal use is very possible
Yeh I think it is very possible with little use if your trying to squeeze but 2 days is comfortable with decent usage. Glad your enjoying it though 👍🏾
Im using huawei before this magic 6. This 2 manufacture vering interesting in making phone. Battery life ist amazing last for 2 days
Yeh the battery life on this is amazing and as it's a sister company to Huawei or was at a time I'm sure they shared some good features between them. Great phone
I don't know which one to choose between s24ultra and honor magic 6pro, for me only the camera is important, what is your opinion?
I've not used the s24 ultra so I cannot say. The Honor camera is amazing though, it can take excellent photos and videos. So I think there both evenly matched, the battery life on honor is far superior though. Software is subjective but the software on the Honor seems more Google than Samsung. Samsung's is heavy on their own UI.
Hope that helps

Honor magic 6 pro or S24 ultra, which one is better??
Last 4 year I’m using huawei p20 pro
Magic 6 pro and S24 ultra is almost same price in Dubai market
Which one is better?
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 👍🏾
Battery life overnight isn't an issue. if it's 30% when you go to sleep just whack it onto the charger while you shower in the morning and it'll have more than enough juice for the day. It charges in minutes
No it's not an issue at all. Battery life is great. I do, do that, don't charge it over night just top up in the morning. Recently it's been lasting 2 days nicely so mega impressed
Nobody did it but you.
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?
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.
@@JustStephen89 ok, thanks!
Hi i cant update to new magic os update via mobile data it asks for wifi could you please tell me reason
I'm not sure about this I'm afraid. Maybe your mobile data isn't fast enough or your battery is charged enough? I'd try again on full charge. It should do it. I'm pretty sure I did mine over cellular data
Thank you
So far what's your opinion of Honor updates? I've read some comments that Honor is not good in terms of giving updates. What is your experience so far?
I think, since owning the phone I've had 2 updates. So since it's realise to my knowledge 2. It's only been out a month or so here so pretty good so far. I've not found anything broken with the software or hardware so I would say at the minute not necessary to do another update.
So, so far so good I'd say but it is early days. I'll keep you updated 👍🏾
@@JustStephen89 according to the Honor website, the phone should receive monthly Android security updates. They don't, however, specify how often they give updates to fix their own software bugs, improve features or add new features.
I don't know maybe I buy honor magic 6 pro because people complain about it Camara please advise me
A lot of complaints but believe me it's a lot better then people make out. I've had no issues with it, always getting consistent good pictures
@@JustStephen89 I have ordered one 2 days ago, waiting to be delivered from Netherland.
Magic 6 pro is a good flagship phone for a price, it is 400$ cheaper than s24 ultra.
2.5x times optical at 180MP is such a waste, should've been 5x
I think that would have made the phone more expensive. Plus the 5x is really good as well ?
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!
sound is not so good, i recommend Sony Xperia 1 V.
Do you mean the speakers? I've had a lot of time with it now and the speakers are quality. Definitely not the best I've ever heard. But they are very very good and the loudness is also pretty decent
@@JustStephen89 yes, thank you!
good phone with a good camera, but a very bad screen on which you can’t see anything in the sun
Oh I disagree with that. The screen is very bright in the sun. Direct sun at that. I've had no issues with the screen at all.
@@JustStephen89 Yes, I understand. I saw enough of beautiful reviews and yesterday I bought this phone to replace my iPhone 15 pro max. But in direct sunlight and even indoors, the screen glares a lot. and in direct sunlight the Honor screen shows nothing at all. but on the iPhone everything is clearly visible. it's a pity. The phone is basically good. but his screen ruins everything. that's why we'll never see this phone compared to an iPhone in direct sunlight. and in those reviews where you can see the Honor screen, you can see what a mirrored screen it has.
@Ezbar "in direct sunlight Honor shows nothing at all" ....That's pure lies...Just say you're an apple funboy.
@@zukim8865 you can write whatever you want. this will not make Honor better displayed in direct sunlight) continue to believe corrupt reviews, and not the person who saw it in person and knows what he is talking about.
Why is your video so bright?
So bright? Your the 1st person to say that, it doesn't look bright to me on my screens
@@JustStephen89 yes only for this vid. Beginning of the vid is the most obvious, super bright. On my magic 6 pro as well. Loll
Because it's HDR video
