Honor is hosting a two-day event in China on January 10th to unveil its latest offerings — the Magic OS 8.0 operating system and the highly anticipated Magic 6 smartphone series. While the official launch is still a few weeks away, leaks have been giving us a glimpse of what to expect.

The latest leak comes courtesy of @Rodent950, who shared renders of both the Honor Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro. Both phones sport a sleek design with a triple-camera setup arranged in a triangle formation. One of the lenses appears to be a periscope telephoto lens as the camera module has a 100x inscription.

Moreover, a Weibo tech analyst recently conducted a test comparing Honor’s Satellite Communication feature to the Huawei Mate 60 Pro. The results are preliminary but suggest the Magic 6 Pro might edge out its rival in some key aspects.

First, the Magic 6 Pro found satellite connections significantly faster than the Mate 60 Pro, eliminating the need for separate direction measurements before establishing communication. Additionally, the Honor phone allows for longer calls, even exceeding 5 minutes, unlike the Huawei device which forces disconnection. While Huawei was the first to introduce satellite SMS technology, it seems Honor might soon be a strong contender in this emerging field.

Recently, we also covered a leak surrounding the camera setup for the Magic 6 series. It suggests Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro are reported to feature a rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50H main camera and a 50-megapixel OV50M ultra-wide lens. For telephoto shots, the Magic 6 is said to incorporate a 50-megapixel OV50M camera sensor, while the Pro variant is expected to house a Samsung HP3 camera sensor.
