Honor Magic 6 Pro Review: A Strong and Emerging Smartphone Contender

The Honor Magic 6 Pro is a quality smartphone with a camera array built to make the case that it has the goods to be among the best. Honor is a spinoff of Huawei, which let the brand go in 2021 in a bid to evade U.S. sanctions. Since then, Honor has carved out its own purpose and identity, including a current attempt to go public with an IPO.

I’m not particularly fond of the curved edges on the 6.8-inch OLED, but I can appreciate its vivid and bright finish, hitting a peak brightness of 5000 nits for HDR content — far too bright unless it’s in broad sunlight. By default, the screen is also on the Vivid setting, though switching it to Normal doesn’t take away from the screen’s overall vibrancy. What’s nice is you can change the color temperature to apply a warmer or cooler tone at all times.

That includes innovative ideas on how to access settings or features. One of my favorites is how Honor’s MagicOS overlay enables you to curate shortcuts for specific apps, like the Camera one. Hold down on the icon and drag it to reveal a folder with shortcuts to related actions. At the time of my review, I was limited to selfies, panoramas, video, and multi-video modes, without the option to choose among others when looking to change things up.

What’s a little weird is that Honor sharpens images more in Natural and Vivid than it does in Authentic, and in some instances, seems to sharpen certain parts more than others. I have no explanation as to why this happens but it doesn’t always hurt the resulting image. A narrower 27mm focal length is a bigger change in framing images and made me wonder if it might have been worth trying for Honor to add a 35mm crop factor.
