Honor Magic6 Pro and Pad 9 tablet go global and Magic V2 RSR gets a price

25 February 2024

Honor introduced the Magic6 Pro in China last month, and today, the flagship made its global debut in Barcelona, ahead of MWC. We also welcomed the Honor Pad 9 tablet, which was introduced to the British crowd a few days ago.

Honor Magic6 Pro

Honor hyped the flagship and its sports photography prowess, the Magic6 Pro bringing the next generation of what the company calls Falcon Camera system. It introduced AI Motion Sensing capabilities that detect motion and capture multiple frames even before you've pressed the shutter to let you capture the perfect image.

There is also the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and the big 5,600 mAh battery with 80W wired and 66W wireless charging support.
