Great and honest review. I really like the design of the phone, but the rest is a big fail. Why not buy the Honor 70 for 50 Euro more. This phone does not make sense!

    The display is absolutely gorgeous for its segment. However; Magic6 Lite needs to bring huge upgrades over its predecessor, especially for the camera and chipset parts. Honor's update policy is a drawback, too.

      Funny thing, the cons you listed are exactly the same I have for the 2 past Honor phones I had : Honor 50 and Honor x8.

      Very average cam quality overall, noticeable inconsistencies between sensors, hdr isn't automatic or reachable with a quick toogle, it's a fully separated mode, beware
      No 4K recording (we aren't anymore in 2015)
      Useless loudspeaker easily noticeable the first time you use it in a car with Maps/Waze etc.. you have to be totally silent in your car to hear it

      Also, updates are mostly for security every few months, I haven't got any OS update on any of them.

        the circular camera island on the back is different and makes sense rather than top left island which makes the phone wobble on a flat surface. i find this phone beautiful & wish more manufacturers would implement central camera island on the back.
