Good stuff man, love the shirt!
Excellent review!
Great review 👍
I wish Honor Magic 6 Pro had a 4/6 or 10-stop variable aperture(f1.4 to f4.0) in the main cam and also a 2/4-stop variable aperture(f2.0 to f4.0) to on the 180 MP periscope telephoto cam with 3.5x optical zoom or 85mm focal length. Then it will become the ultimate camera phone.
Assuming that if I buy one for use here in the USA it will work fine if I am only getting it for the camera and occasional updates using wifi?
best phone on Market
I'm still rocking Mi 10 5g and happy with it!
Overall the HONOR Magic6 Pro and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra are two of the best phones from China in 2024 which can compete with Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max. I'm so glad that we have such a wide range of flagships to choose from 🥳

I sold my P60 Pro because even with microG some apps did not work or some important notifications. I have now a Google Pixel 8 pro, I do not like it at all for photo, the P60 pro was much better (and even my P30 pro). So I am looking for another phone, maybe a Honor Magic 6 pro.
I had Huawei P40 Pro and got 2TB of cloud storage for a very good price. I have a question: Would I be able to use that cloud storage for Honor Magic 6 Pro?

i actually like the "softness" in the camera. i absolutely hate the trend of smartphone cameras to have the sharpest, even oversharpened images ever, i think the photos from this smartphone look great compared to a real camera! was considering a phone from the "big" like apple, samsung or google, but all these cameras look some kind of artificial, which i see less on the honor!

If that phone had 3.5 optimal zoom instead 2.5, will be the best phone ever done by any company, all included (price, display, battery, selfie, performance). The 2.5 optimal zoom is a bit turn off from previous year magic5 pro. I know why they done it and give it with 180mp quality boost but still, people love optimal zooms. I hope they listen the complains and the next model come with 3.5 zoom or quad cameras on the back. Also the selfie of the phone is the best I have seen in any chinese phone. Impressive
