As part of its launch, HONOR is offering several incentives for early buyers, including No-cost EMI options starting at ₹7,500 per month for up to 12 months. The company has also assured customers that the price will remain unchanged for the next 180 days, providing added confidence for those who choose to purchase early.

HONOR Magic 6 Pro 5G specs:

The HONOR Magic 6 Pro 5G boasts a 6.8-inch FHD+ Quad-Curved OLED Floating Screen with a resolution of 1280 x 2800 pixels, a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate, and support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, delivering a peak brightness of 5,000 nits.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Octa-Core Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The camera setup is equally impressive, featuring a 50MP Wide Main Camera with variable aperture, a 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera with macro capabilities, and a 180MP Periscope Telephoto Camera that supports 2.5x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom, along with optical image stabilization.

The post Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Powerhouse: HONOR Magic 6 Pro arrives in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Honor Magic 6 Pro arrived in India with a thud more than a cheer. Don’t get us wrong, much of the Magic 6 Pro’s specs are flagship territory. Its 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display boasts a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, peak brightness of 1600 nits (HBM), and an in-house NanoCrystal Shield for protection.

The Magic 6 Pro also stands out with its unique camera system. The main 50MP sensor is paired with an impressive 180MP periscope telephoto lens for exceptional portraits and a 50MP camera for ultrawide shots. The front has a 50MP selfie camera and a time of flight (ToF) 3D depth sensor that works as a reliable way for biometrics.

Powering the device is a current-best Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. And even the battery here is the latest silicon tech with a sizeable 5600mAh capacity which supports 80W wired charging and a not-too-shabby 66W wireless charging. Everything about this phone screams ‘2024 flagship.’ 

However, with a price tag of Rs 90,000 in India, it steps into a crowded market of established flagships, each with its unique features and advantages. 

As a result, buyers are naturally inclined to explore alternatives in the same price range. To help with that, we’ve curated a list of the best alternatives to the Honor Magic 6 Pro in India. Let’s start after we take a quick look at the Honor Magic 6 Pro’s specification table.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

For those seeking a top-of-the-line flagship phone, the Galaxy S23 Ultra from last year is a great choice. It often drops below Rs 80,000 in India, making it more affordable than the Honor Magic 6 Pro.

While the Magic 6 Pro has a solid camera setup, the S23 Ultra brings more versatility to the table. It features a 200 MP main sensor, compared to the Magic 6 Pro’s 50 MP, delivering higher resolution and greater detail. And the S23 Ultra has a 3x optical zoom and a 10x periscope telephoto lens, ideal for long-range shots. In contrast, the Magic 6 Pro’s 180 MP periscope telephoto lens only provides 2.5x optical zoom.

Both phones have excellent screens. They both sport a 6.8-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR support. However, the S23 Ultra’s peak brightness is lower than the Magic 6 Pro’s, with 1750 nits versus 5000 nits. And the Magic 6 Pro also supports Dolby Vision, which the S23 Ultra lacks.

In terms of performance, the S23 Ultra’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset is powerful, but the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Magic 6 Pro is more advanced. The S23 Ultra makes up for this with a more refined One UI 6.1, whereas the Magic 6 Pro uses MagicOS 8.

Battery life is another area where the Magic 6 Pro has an advantage. The S23 Ultra comes with a 5000mAh battery and 45W wired charging, while the Magic 6 Pro features a 5600mAh battery and faster 80W charging. But not to forget, the S24 Ultra is the only one to come with built-in stylus support.

Vivo X100 Pro 

The Vivo X100 Pro has its own set of strengths. Both it and the Magic 6 Pro offer high-quality displays and an IP68 rating, which is standard for flagship phones.

Performware-wise, the Vivo X100 Pro is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9300 chipset, comparable to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Magic 6 Pro, so you won’t notice a significant performance difference. 

The camera setup on the Vivo X100 Pro is also impressive. It features a 50 MP main sensor, a 50 MP ultrawide lens, and a 50 MP telephoto lens with 4.3x optical zoom. Vivo has also collaborated with Zeiss and chipped in its in-house V3 imaging chip to further enhance photo quality. This makes the X100 Pro a strong competitor to the Honor Magic 6 Pro.

Battery life is a strong point for the X100 Pro, with a 5400 mAh battery and 100W wired charging, surpassing the Magic 6 Pro’s 80W wired charging. The X100 Pro supports 50W wireless charging though it’s slightly behind the Magic 6 Pro’s 66W.

OnePlus 12

The OnePlus 12 features a 6.82-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 3168 pixels. It also has other good display stuff like Dolby Vision support making it a formidable contender, though the Magic 6 Pro has a slight edge in brightness.

Both the OnePlus 12 and the Magic 6 Pro use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, so their performance is nearly identical. However, the OnePlus 12’s camera setup, with a 64 MP telephoto lens and Hasselblad color calibration, offers a competitive alternative to the Magic 6 Pro’s camera system. The Magic 6 Pro’s 180 MP periscope telephoto lens provides more optical zoom, but the OnePlus 12 offers a broader range of photo enhancements.

Battery life is a highlight for the OnePlus 12, featuring 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, compared to the Magic 6 Pro’s 80W wired and 66W wireless. The OnePlus 12 also has a larger battery, which might provide better longevity depending on usage.

Xiaomi 14

The Xiaomi 14 has a more compact 6.36-inch display compared to the Magic 6 Pro’s 6.8-inch screen. Although the Magic 6 Pro has higher peak brightness, the Xiaomi 14’s display is well-balanced with a peak of 3000 nits. Both phones use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, offering similar performance.

The Xiaomi 14’s camera setup includes a 50 MP main sensor, a 50 MP telephoto lens with 3.2x optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultrawide lens.

Its 4610 mAh battery is smaller than the Magic 6 Pro’s 5600 mAh, but its 90W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds are competitive. While it falls slightly behind the Magic 6 Pro’s wired charging speed, its wireless charging is comparable.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus has a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a peak brightness of 2600 nits. It has a higher resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels compared to the Magic 6 Pro, but this difference is unlikely to be noticeable in everyday use.

The Indian variant of the S24 Plus uses the Exynos 2400 chip, which may not match the performance or efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Magic 6 Pro but is a flagship processor that can handle demanding tasks.

The S24 Plus features a camera setup of a 50 MP wide lens, a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide lens. Although it lacks the Magic 6 Pro’s high-resolution telephoto, it compensates with impressive video capabilities, including 8K recording.

Its 4900 mAh battery with 45W wired charging is competitive but doesn’t quite match the Magic 6 Pro’s larger battery and faster wired charging.

Verdict

The Honor Magic 6 Pro is a solid flagship phone with standout features like the 180 MP periscope telephoto lens, AMOLED display, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. However, there are some reliable alternatives like Galaxy S23 Ultra which offer similar if not better experiences.

Ultimately, choosing the best phone depends on your priorities. If you want the best camera system, consider the S23 Ultra or Vivo X100 Pro. If you need a phone with a built-in stylus, the S23 Ultra is your best bet. For ultra-fast charging, the OnePlus 12 and Xiaomi 14 are excellent options.

Remember, specs only tell part of the story. User reviews and in-depth comparisons will help you understand which phone offers the best real-world experience. Just don’t expect any of them to be truly revolutionary—the flagship market is becoming increasingly similar.

The Oppo Find X7 Ultra and the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ shared the top spot in DxOMark’s ultra-premium smartphone camera rankings last week. However, the Honor Magic 6 Pro, which debuted globally at the end of last month, has now surpassed both of these phones to become the new reigning champion as DxOMark’s best camera phone in the ultra-premium segment. The Honor Magic 6 Pro smartphone features the following rear camera system:

• Primary: 50MP 1/1.28″ sensor, 24mm equivalent, automatic variable aperture f/1.4-f/2.0, AF, OIS
• Ultra-wide: 50MP 1/2.88″ sensor, 13mm equivalent f/2.0-aperture lens, AF
• Tele: 180MP 1/1.4″ sensor, 68mm equivalent f/2.6-aperture lens,  AF, OIS

As per the DxOMark test results, the Honor Magic 6 Pro achieves excellent results across all of the tests, achieving an overall score of 158. For photos, the device is tied up with the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ for the top score of 160. It is capable of reproducing nice colors while offering excellent dynamic range, even in scenes with challenging backlight. The autofocus system of the device is a major plus point since it’s quick and accurate in all situations.

The Magic 6 Pro shined in its zoom capabilities, setting a new standard, especially with its ultra-wide and video zoom features. The ultra-wide camera’s exposure and colors were top-notch, and the telephoto lens managed to capture detailed images at a distance, though some details looked a bit off.

With a score of 157 points, the Magic 6 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S24 Ultra by two points and the Pixel 8 Pro by three points. The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, in comparison, ranked tenth with 149 points.

DxOMark praised the Magic 6 Pro for its exceptional motion handling, providing users with a great experience for watching videos or playing games. The phone’s smooth playback and minimal motion blur contributed to its top score in motion.

However, DxOMark’s tests revealed some limitations of the display, such as noticeable color shifts at extreme viewing angles and distracting patterns in low-light conditions with monochrome content. 

While Honor advertises a peak brightness of 5000 nits, achieving this brightness level requires specific HDR scenarios; under regular sunlight, it falls short compared to competitors.

Beyond its display, the Magic6 Pro also shines in other areas. DxOMark’s battery tests demonstrated the benefits of its large battery and efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, earning it the highest score of 157 points. 

The phone offers impressive runtimes, lasting 35 hours for calls, 50 hours for music streaming, and 15 hours for gaming. However, heavy camera usage notably reduces battery life to around 4 hours and 39 minutes. But this isn’t surprsing. 

Lastly, the Magic6 Pro’s 50MP ultra-wide-angle selfie camera also impressed reviewers. It dethroned the iPhone 15 Pro Max thanks to its ability to capture sharp group selfies with its wide depth of field, as well as delivering higher resolution images overall.

The selfie camera received praise for its white balance, color reproduction, noise control, and dynamic range, though it loses some detail in low light due to aggressive noise reduction and shows occasional video sharpness inconsistencies.

The post Oppo Find X7, Honor Magic 6 tipped to launch before Samsung Galaxy S24 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor has officially teamed up with the renowned design house Porsche Design. Now, leaked renders of the upcoming Honor smartphone hint at what the fruits of this collaboration might look like. The renders come from a Weibo tipster that shows stylish Porsche Design variants of the Honor Magic 6 series devices. 

As you can see, the Magic 6 Porsche Design has a two-tone leather finish in red and black. Its circular camera ring houses the triple camera setup (horizontally) and on the back, we can also see the Honor and Porsche Design logos.

However, looks like the partnership won’t be limited to a single phone since the tipster also shared a render of the Porsche Design-inspired Magic 6 Pro. And, although the design is more or less similar to that of last year’s Magic 5 Pro, the phone has a sports car’s accelerometer-inspired design element in its circular camera module. 

Interestingly, the leak also suggests the entire Magic 6 series will have Porsche Design treatment, but these are just rumors, so take them with a grain of salt. 

Speaking of the Magic 6 series, it’s expected to arrive early next year. Rumors suggest three models in the lineup. The exact names of these devices are still under wraps, but following past trends, they might be called the Honor Magic 6, Magic 6 Pro, and Magic 6 Ultimate.

Tipster Digital Chat Station has shed some light on the Pro model’s key features. The phone is expected to come with a 2K OLED display with a pill-shaped cutout for dual-front-facing cameras.  

Powering the device will be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. While there are also rumors of a dedicated graphics and security chip. The phone will run on Magic OS 8.0 based on Android 14 and will have a Smart Island notification feature.

Likewise, Magic 6 Pro also utilizes a substantial AI model with an impressive 7 billion parameters, enhancing its capabilities in artificial intelligence applications.

The post Honor Magic 6 Pro, Magic 6 Porsche Design surfaces in leaked renders revealing design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor’s upcoming flagship smartphone lineup is officially called Magic 6. The brand had already revealed in October that the series will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

Over the past few months, we have been hearing about these devices from multiple sources. But still, we don’t have much info on them.

Amidst this, the company’s CEO teases a special variant of its premium phone. Let’s go through the details.

Honor CEO Zhao Ming (aka George Zhao) recently shared a few pictures of him alongside a Porsche executive on Weibo. The description of his post reads ‘the future is promising.’

George seems to be hinting at a Porsche Design variant of the forthcoming Honor Magic 6 series. For the unaware, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) revealed the existence of this model earlier this month.

This will be the first collaboration between Honor and Porsche Design. Previously, only Huawei used to release products with Porsche branding, which has been now replaced by the company’s own premium label — Ultimate Design.

As per DCS, there will be three primary handsets in the Magic 6 lineup and a special Porsche Design variant based on the top-end model. Their exact names are not known at the moment. But going by previous generations, these phones could be called Honor Magic 6, Honor Magic 6 Pro, and Honor Magic 6 Ultimate.

All of them are said to flaunt a quad-curved display with a dual punch hole (pill-shaped cutout) at the top center. The first two models are expected to feature a circular camera island as opposed to a rounded square camera module on the high-end model.

We are looking forward to learning more about these smartphones in the coming days.

The post Honor CEO seemingly teases Porsche Design smartphone appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is gearing up for the much-anticipated release of its Magic 6 series devices. Following the 3C certification received by the Honor Magic 6 (code-named BVL-AN00) last month, the Magic 6 Pro, identified as BVL-AN16, has also successfully passed the 3C certification. This confirmation highlights its support for satellite connectivity.

DCS sheds light on a 1″ OV50K main sensor, 3D ToF face recognition, variable aperture, and more

In addition to the 3C certification details, there are now rumors circulating about the specifications of the Magic 6 Pro, courtesy of DCS. These speculations shed light on the device’s advanced technologies, including 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) face recognition inside the pill-shaped cutout in the middle, OV50H/OV50K image sensors, an impressive 160-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, and variable aperture capabilities. Excitingly, there are rumors of a design collaboration with Porsche.

The mentioned OV50K is a 1-inch camera sensor from OmniVision, signaling an upgrade in the camera system compared to its predecessor, the Honor Magic 5 Pro. The latter featured a 1/1.12-inch main sensor. For the front camera, the same 12-megapixel selfie is expected.

While specific configurations are still under wraps, tech enthusiasts can draw parallels with the Huawei Mate60 series, which supports features like 3D ToF face recognition and variable aperture.

Looking at the predecessor, the Honor Magic 5 Pro, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, it’s reasonable to expect the Honor Magic 6 Pro to feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The Magic 5 Pro boasted a 6.81-inch quad-curved display panel with a peak brightness of 1,800 nits and a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate. Additionally, it featured a robust 5,450mAh (typical) battery, supporting 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. Notably, the 3C certification has now confirmed 100W charging support for the Honor Magic 6 Pro.

Looks like Honor has been a busy bee lately! We’re seeing leaks and rumors about two new GT-series phones, the X50 GT and the 90 GT. But that’s not all – Honor is also gearing up to launch its flagship Magic 6 series, and the Pro model just popped up on a 3C certification listing.

Honor Magic 6 Pro 3C certification

The 3C listing confirms that the Honor Magic 6 Pro (model number BVL-AN16) will support 5G networks. However, the most interesting detail is its label as a “Satellite mobile terminal 5G.”

This confirms the presence of advanced satellite connectivity, aligning with earlier statements from Honor’s general manager, Li Kun, about the company’s development of satellite-based communication solutions.

While the standard Honor Magic 6 (model number BVL-AN00) also appeared on the 3C last month, it only boasts support for 66W charging. No mention of satellite connectivity was found, suggesting this feature will be exclusive to the Pro model.

Honor Magic 6 Pro Specifications

The upcoming Honor Magic 6 Pro is expected to feature a high-resolution OLED display with a pill-shaped cutout for dual front-facing cameras and advanced sensors. It will run on the all-new Magic OS 8.0, which is based on Android 14. The device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and will boast a dedicated graphics chip, a built-in security chip, and a substantial AI model. 

It is also expected to feature a second-generation Qinghai Lake battery and a rear shell made of nano-ceramic glass. Likewise, reports hint that the smartphone will be equipped with a one-inch, 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50k primary camera with variable aperture support.

Honor hasn’t announced the launch date for the Magic 6 series yet, but we’ll keep you updated.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the forthcoming Honor Magic 6 series features a distinctive design, showcasing a quad-curved OLED display with dual punch-hole in what appears to be a pill-shaped cutout. The rear camera arrangement of the “medium cup” and “large cup” models, which appear to be the Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro, adopts an almost circular design. He added that the rear camera layout combines elements from the Magic 5 series while incorporating the cut-edge design seen in the Huawei Mate X5 foldable phone.

In addition, the lineup will have an “extra large cup” model, which seems to be the Magic 6 Ultimate, and a squarish camera island with rounded corners. The leak also suggests that it will have a Porsche Design special variant.

Since 2016, starting with the Mate 9 Porsche Design, Huawei has been launching special edition Mate-series flagships with Porsche branding. It was reported in September that Huawei has replaced Porsche Design with its own premium brand called the Ultimate Design. This is the reason why the Mate 60 lineup also includes the Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design variant.
