Third-party reviews

What we like about Honor Magic 6 (16GB + 512GB)

  • Excellent battery life, often lasting up to two days with mixed usage and supporting fast wired and wireless charging.
  • Outstanding overall performance due to the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, handling multitasking and gaming smoothly with well-controlled heat.
  • Extremely capable cameras that produce stunning, crystal clear photos, particularly in good daylight and portrait mode, with effective AI features like AI Motion Sensing Capture.
  • Brilliant, vibrant, and bright OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and advanced eye-protection features.
  • Premium build quality with a comfortable feel and a grippy vegan leather back option.
  • Very fast and accurate biometric authentication, including reliable fingerprint and 3D face scanners.
  • Good sound quality from the stereo speakers.
  • Strong phone reception and smooth Wi-Fi to cellular network switching.

What we don't like about Honor Magic 6 (16GB + 512GB)

  • Some users reported significant overheating issues when recording videos, especially after specific software updates.
  • The camera's zoom quality is considered poor after 2.5x magnification, with blurring at higher digital zoom levels.
  • The phone can be considered bulky and slightly heavy, and the large, protruding camera module makes it tip over without a case.
  • The software (MagicOS 8.0) has some inconsistencies, lacks certain features like a Pro video mode, and some UI elements are considered cartoonish.
  • Long-term software support (4 OS updates/5 years security) is less than competitors like Samsung and Google.
  • Accessories like quality third-party cases and replacement parts can be hard to find and expensive.
  • The black version of the phone is very slippery without a case.
  • The display is susceptible to wear and tear/scratches under normal use without a screen protector, despite a nanocrystal shield.

Verdict

The Honor Magic 6 (16GB + 512GB configuration) is a high-end flagship smartphone boasting a powerful system-on-chip, such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Its core strength lies in a massive 5600 mAh second-generation silicon-carbon battery, known for its exceptional endurance and fast charging capabilities. The device typically features a sophisticated triple-camera system with a potent periscope telephoto lens and an advanced LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and high peak brightness. Potential downsides might include the high price point and the user interface (MagicOS) which, while functional, can be polarizing for some users accustomed to stock Android or other custom skins.
