Honor has once again treated us to a cameraphone with incredible specs: the Magic6 Pro, now available worldwide. Great results are promised at both its natural focal length and double that with a super-high-res telephoto unit, and the primary camera has a dual aperture lens for little greater control over depth of focus without sacrificing too much low-light performance. Of course, there are all the other excellent features you would anticipate from a true high-end phone in addition to that camera.
Consider the display as an example. Among its many features are Dolby Vision compatibility, an adaptive fast refresh rate, and an abundance of brightness on the 6.8-inch LTPO OLED. In addition to being cutting edge, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has one of the largest battery capacities in its class.
Smaller perks like rapid wired and wireless charging at high speeds, an infrared emitter, and IP68 dust and water resistance are all included in the bundle. Returning to the image hardware, a front camera that is broader than most and has a 3D depth companion should work well for both safe and quick unlocks as well as selfies.

Unboxing the Honor Magic6 Pro.
Upon opening the Magic6 Pro’s slimline container, not much is inside, thus the unpacking experience isn’t really exciting. Apart from the phone, all we received was a USB-C cable. Unlike the Magic5 Pro, our package did not include a case.
Although our review device did not come with an adaptor, Honor sent us paperwork indicating that an 80W charger should be supplied in order to meet the phone’s stated maximum charging rating. For more information, check with your store. Alternatively, there could have been a mistake in the documentation.
