Honor Magic6 Pro

Premium, eye-catching design ; Brightest display around at 5000nits ; Impressive camera performance from all lenses ; Snapdragon-powered performance

MagicOS 8 is basically an iOS dupe ; MagicPortal is pretty barebones at the moment ; No charger in the box

The Honor Magic 6 Pro is the all-singing, all-dancing 2024 flagship that seems to offer the complete package, from a premium design to a lovely screen, impressive camera performance and all-day battery life – but software irks stop it from being the...

Unique stand-out design ; Strong durability and water-proofing ; Really bright and vibrant display ; Long battery life and fast charging

Cameras have a habit of over-smoothing textures ; Some software features clearly inspired by iOS 17 ; No fast-charger in the box

Excellent main, telephoto and selfie cameras ; Top-tier performance ; Stunning 120Hz screen ; Secure 3D face unlock ; Very good battery life

Underwhelming ultrawide camera ; Cluttered software ; Expensive

For all its plus points, the Magic 6 Pro isn’t a straightforward recommendation. It has some of the best cameras in the business, but can you tolerate the hit-and-miss software, bold design and high price tag?

Unusual (but great!) camera setup ; Cavernous battery can take you to two days ; Lovely-looking display ; Epi green finish is distinctive

Screen can seem too bright ; MagicOS needs a little more polish ; AI picture processing can be a bit much ; Higher list price than rials

The Honor Magic 6 Pro is ace, lasts for ages and is quick to take great shots. If you decide to get one on a deal, you’ll have a truly awesome phone on your hands.

Ridiculously good battery life ; Exquisite display ; Diverse and effective cameras

Big price increase ; Cluttered software ; Better zoom on other flagships

Bright and vivid OLED screen ; Snappy performance ; Great camera system ; 5,600 mAh battery ; Useful AI tricks ; Fast wired and wireless charging ; Impressive stereo speakers

Pricey ; Quad-curved display might not be everyone's cup of tea ; Limited availability

Affordable SD8G3 premium flagship phone ; All-rounder great main camera and decent telephoto ; Responsive daily driver ; Good battery uptime

Display has pink-purple cast ; AI smarts are not apparent ; Outdated design, weird bump position

TL;DR version: Doesn’t have the AI smarts we wanted, but it’s still one of the most 'affordable' premium flagship options we have now.

Unusual (but great!) camera setup ; Cavernous battery can take you to two days ; Lovely-looking display ; Epi green finish is distinctive

Screen can seem too bright ; MagicOS needs a little more polish ; AI picture processing can be a bit much ; Higher list price than rials
