Honor’s Magic 6 Pro was a phone that arrived a few months ago with quite some fanfare, being an option that packs in a shedload of beefy hardware into a sleek design that may well make it one of the best Android phones available – hell, even one of the best phones you can purchase full stop. It’s a handset I wanted to get my hands on since I first saw it unveiled and luckily, here we are.
The Magic 6 Pro packs in some excellent specs including the latest mobile Snapdragon SoC with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, as well as 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in my sample. You also get a ridiculous triple camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 180MP periscope telephoto and a 50MP ultrawide, while the display is a beefy 6.8-inch LTPO OLED with support for a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and a peak HDR brightness of 5000 nits, and there’s also a larger 5600mAh battery for your troubles, too.
At a £1100 RRP (though currently discounted to £730), it sits at the level of a modern flagship, though undercuts the competition in terms of beating off Samsung’s S24 Ultra and Sony’s new Xperia 1 VI, making it somewhat good value for money – well, as much as a flagship smartphone can be these days.
