            Knowing Honor, it'll cost more than $500 USD which will be about same price as current Chinese Dimensity 9000 phones. Not to mention, the even cheaper Dimensity 8200/8100/8000!

              Pretty sure still no stereo speakers and OIS, just like all other subpar overpriced midrange phones Honor launched so far.

                WinAnon95, 01 Feb 2023The fact it took 5 months for someone to use the 6 Gen 1 is... moreThat might be why I completely forgot it even existed.

                  This should give a first taste of the 6 Gen 1 SoC. This could be the base entry-level model for the Magic5 series.

                    They just want to clear up the old display stock, the left over from huawei.. the camera probably come with 50+8+2 basic setup.

                    The price will be more than $450

                      Neither of the two. The 6 gen 1 is an entirely new 4 nm chipset

                        Curved display 😱 no and NO

                          People complain about curved screens on flagships and Honor out here adding them on their mid rangers

                            The bezels will be thicker for sure

                              this will be very nice phone for every day usage but depends only how much it will cost...
                              i can bet it will be $500+

                                Muthu, 01 Feb 2023Nope. SD 6 Gen 1 is underclocked version of SD 778.Oh well, still might be the Magic 5 Lite. If not, then I'm actually curious what this will be.

This SoC we can keep between SD 695 and SD 778G. It comes with 4k HDR Support both in recording and playback

                                  I don't who the hell is listen to launch of honor phone. They are not value for money or better in that range. No good camera or no proper android updates.

                                  The people in middle east, they trusting this phone with any reason. In middle east we don't have proper unbiased tech reviewer.

                                        Honor Magic 5 Lite with the Honor X9a design, SD695 being overclocked might just be called the 6 gen 1.
