It's a shame to say that although we have previously conducted in-depth tests on many products in the Honor Magic series, it is difficult to find a more appropriate word to describe the appearance of this flagship in one word.
But when we got the Honor Magic6 series, we suddenly had an answer in our hearts: roundness.
The rounded feel is, of course, due to Honor's full polishing of the curves, especially on the front.
To be honest, the Honor Magic6 Pro isn't the first flagship to present a quad-curved look and feel (the previous two generations have already been), but the rounded look it brings is really different. The choice of the four R-corners is really surprising, with a larger arc range, but the Honor handles it well, with smooth and harmonious arc transitions, and the result is a rounded look that pays homage to the original Magic. But to be honest, I would subjectively prefer the standard version of the "fully symmetrical equal depth micro curved screen",I don't know how everyone will choose?
The comprehensive configuration of this screen is also quite good, such as 2800 1280 resolution, 1hz 120hz intelligent dynamic refresh rate, 5000nits of local peak brightness and 1600nits of global maximum brightness, which can be described as quite exaggerated in the latter two brightness configurations.
What's even more exaggerated is in its eye protection configuration. The previous PWM dimming frequency record was originally created by Honor's own 90 series at 3840Hz, and when it came to the Honor Magic6 series, this record was once again refreshed to 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, combined with sleep aid display and natural light-like eye protection, the eye protection effect is indeed quite outstanding.
Such a good screen not only has a rounded curve, but also carries a new glory giant rhino glass, based on the second-generation nano glass-ceramic technology, according to the official statement, its overall anti-drop ability has been increased by 30%, and it has passed the multi-scene gold standard five-star drop resistance test of the Swiss SGS, obviously, this is also a trustworthy generation of new magic flagship.
It seems to be echoing such a frontal design,Honor Magic6 Pro has actually made some curved transitions at the upper and lower ends of the fuselage on the back cover,If the curves on the left and right sides can also be made closer to the front of the micro-curve bar,The effect may be better-But now this set of back covers with large curved surfaces on the left and right,It also brings a more comfortable grip,It's not a wrong choice。
The version we received is the Qilian snow color, according to the official statement of Honor, this color scheme absorbs the snow-capped elements of Qilian Mountain, and it is indeed not difficult to see that its white is indeed quite clear, and it has the feeling of a snow-capped mountain; In the white, there are some silver-gray irregular lines, which really makes it deduce the appearance of endless snow-capped mountains, combined with the silver image module decorative surface, the appearance is still relatively good.
Honor Magic6 ProThe most interesting thing on the back cover is this three-camera rear image module,The three cameras plus the flashes and sensors on both sides can stand symmetrically,And under the constraints of the pillow-shaped element,The whole module does not have too exaggerated protrusions,But it highlights its image flagship identity in a low-key manner。
Regarding the imaging hardware, the choice of the Honor Magic6 Pro is actually a little different from the mainstream. First up is the main camera, which is equipped with a custom OV H9000 sensor that offers a very big upgrade in dynamic range and HDR capabilities, paired with an F14~f2.The intelligent variable aperture design of 0 allows users to choose whether they want a higher amount of light or a clearer front and rear view. On the other hand, it also features a one-of-a-kind 1 for its periscope telephoto lensWith an 800-million-pixel sensor, the zoom capability from optical to digital is an exaggerated upgrade.
Let's take a look at the actual samples. Glory Magic6 Pro still gives full play to the advantages of the OV custom H9000 sensor on the main camera,The polishing of the image quality presents the familiar "Glory style",Meticulous and will not be over-sharpened,The extremely high dynamic range can make it present relatively rich picture details,The overall look is still quite good。
The Honor Magic6 Pro's telephoto configuration is similarly exaggerated, with 1 on one sideThe 800 million-pixel outsole sensor, on the other hand, is coming to f2Large aperture of 6. When such a sensor that may be used as the main camera on other models comes to the periscope telephoto, it naturally brings more ways to play, whether it is in the default 68mm equivalent focal length, or in the 5x 135mm equivalent focal length, it can present quite good picture details, and even shoot macro**, so that this prime lens also deduces the diverse fun of zoom.
As for the ultra-wide-angle part, the Honor Magic6 Pro also uses a 50-megapixel sensor, which doesn't have too many surprises and surprises, and it's still a good picture quality that everyone is familiar with.
In addition, thanks to the new three different styles, we are also very pleased to see their new understanding of image style on the Honor Magic6 Pro. The same one**, can show different flavors in different styles, there is a bright and good-looking style when shooting daily, and when encountering special moments, you can also use the texture style to record, so that the ** more prominent feelings of the years, so that taking pictures can also be more interesting.
In addition, thanks to the new OV custom H9000 sensor equipped with the Honor Magic6 Pro, it can also achieve a full-link HDR effect from preview to finished film to album display, which can be called "the strongest HDR **ability on the Android platform", from taking photos to**, it has achieved a good level.
On the previous generation of Honor Magic series, we have seen the super capacity of Qinghai Lake battery, this time on the Magic6 series, Honor has brought the second generation of Qinghai Lake battery, the capacity can reach 5600mAh, which makes the battery capacity of Honor Magic6 Pro still top the flagship market. With the self-developed energy-efficiency enhancement chip and Dujiangyan power management system, as well as the third-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship platform with a greatly upgraded energy efficiency ratio, theoretically, the battery life of the Honor Magic6 Pro can be even better.
So how effective is the actual combat effect? We also used the usual three test scenarios to test its battery life, and in the *** and social ** browsing scenarios, the Honor Magic6 Pro's performance is similar to the past, and the power consumption is very low, both of which are only 6% power consumption; In the high-intensity use scenario of "Genshin Impact" Sumeru City Runmap, its power consumption control is also quite good, and the final power consumption is only 22%, which is still quite good battery life.
As for charging, the wired fast charging configuration of the Honor Magic6 Pro is relatively conventional, with 80W fast charging; However, it supports 66W wireless fast charging, just like the previous Honor 100 Pro. Being able to make such preparations before the implementation of the new interim regulations, Honor is still quite surprising in terms of wireless charging.
The overall strength of the Honor Magic6 Pro is still quite good. In addition to the aforementioned screen, image, and battery life, it also has a good configuration in terms of communication and performance. In terms of performance, of course, the performance of the third-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship platform has been widely recognized in the market, and the strong performance ceiling allows the Honor Magic6 series to easily cope with various performance challenges while achieving a relatively high energy consumption ratio.
At the same time, Honor's excellent signal has also been reflected in this top flagship, especially the addition of the new self-developed RF enhancement chip Honor C1+, which improves the call experience in weak network environments, combined with the excellent performance of the previous C1 chip, I believe its performance can also be satisfactory.
In addition, the Honor Magic6 Pro also brings the "Honor Hongyan Communication" technology, it is said that they have improved the underlying technology and chip packaging process, so that the overall area of the satellite chip has been reduced by 40%, and there are also a number of self-developed core technologies to improve its power consumption and heat dissipation performance.
After connecting to Tiantong satellite, the satellite communication functions supported by the Honor Magic6 Pro are also quite comprehensive, including real-time voice and two-way text messages, and the call duration has been extended from the previous 5 minutes to the operator's upper limit of 2 hours, so that users can have more sufficient communication time in case of emergency.
When sending satellite SMS, you can also quickly add your current address; After receiving the information, the other party can also directly click on the link to locate it directly, which is obviously more hopeful for users who lose ground signal and cut off contact. It can be seen that Honor does have its own deep technical accumulation, so that it can keep up with the mainstream and even achieve leadership in the field of satellite communication so quickly.
The HONOR Magic6 series is also equipped with the latest MagicOS 80,This new system is actually worthy of a separate review.,And if it's the new machine series that impresses me the most,I think it should be the personal affairs center and the two functions of any door.。
Let's start with the Personal Affairs Center. Most calendar apps have built-in calendars, but MagicOS 8The personal affairs center in 0 is a new way to integrate multiple functions in the system, such as receiving a text message, just click on the identified time information, you can quickly create daily transactions and remind them on time, and even show the next schedule to be executed in yoyo suggestions.
Of course, this kind of gameplay of adding events is actually not particularly interesting, and what really makes it more useful is actually another better feature - any door. This function integrates more in-machine recognition algorithms, just press and hold, drag, and the Honor Magic6 Pro can recognize in the machine, such as recognizing the text content in **, and input it into the corresponding information bar, making this efficiency tool more convenient.
Also, the Honor MagicOS 80 There are also many new highlight functions, such as smart table, magic lock screen, new game assistant, full-screen screen display and smart capsule, etc., the new versatile desktop is in the layout, animation and design and other aspects of the refresh, the experience of the whole system has indeed reached a very good level.
It's not hard to see that the Honor Magic series is reassembling its own style. From the looks, to the graphics, performance, and screen hardware, to the all-new MagicOS 80, all of which present a new experience, which seems to lead us to form a new perception of it - it seems to be younger, more lively and more agile.
This impression also reminds me of the technological feeling when the original magic was released, cutting-edge but not sharp, this rounded look and feel, in this new era, it highlights its unique temperament. I believe that the HONOR magic6 series will be a good start for HONOR in 2024, and will also bring users more surprises and experiences.
