Cons "Minor software oversights, unclear update future"
What do you mean "unclear update future" when you say in the review it will get 4 android OS updates?

Nice phone, but I expected more from the telephoto
It had so much potential, and yet the 5x shots look unimpressive...they are not terrible, but they are clearly inferior to native 5x ones, so what was the point of the 180MP sensor..?

xslvrxslwt, 25 Feb 2024Attention everyone!! You'll see Honor used DxO ranking... moreI just came from there:)
And as you said afterwards, as every thing in the test weight same in final score, it is better for everyone to just check the article themselves
In color and exposure they were about 10 points lower than best in that category(and obviously it was not better than iphone)
In focus it was exceptional and get first rank
In texture, it is better than 15pm
Noise in both daylight, and lowlight were in favor of honor
In bokeh you can compare the scarf he is wearing, and honor did much better job
I am not into video, so I didn't check them, but by considering their score system in photos alone, it was NOT going the get lower score than Iphone(and didn't). Maybe you meant video qualities, but for images, the score is fair imo.

David 040882, 25 Feb 2024I wouldn't trust DxOMark's rankings dude, it'... moreRankings maybe but the tests themselves are awesome / the best, you just need to read and not look at the final score but come to your own conclusion as really those pics might have a higher score due to some 'unimporant' stuff as DxO rates a lot of things and they all equally contribute to the final rating afaik, you'll see pros/cons listed no matter the end score.
Something that matters to professional photographers might not matter to you and vice-versa.

This phone should not have such a high score. 4.5★ is too high for a phone that has clear problems in camera software. GSMArena praises the selfie, but the selfie seems to have issues with blurring the face. The inconsistent colour of the red sign with the first telephoto picture shows that the software itself has problems; the main camera's reduced size leads to more noise, which is a problem created with the "trade-off" to a brighter aperture; the periscope telephoto has an extremely artifical look at 5× zoom, and thus cannot even have lossless 5× zoom let alone 10×, even though the whole purpose of the 200MP sensor was to use it for that; and the ultrawide is completely uninspiring. GSMArena, this should be given no more than 4.0★, and that's still generous in my opinion. The quality of the phone for its steep €1,300 price is rather bad, especially when my £900 Google Pixel 7 Pro produces better results 9 times out of 10, and its value has come crashing down so hard that you can now buy it on the street for almost a quarter of that price. You cannot say this phone is 0.1★ lower than something like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra when it has so many teething issues like this.

Their reviews are all right, but their rankings not really

I'll get this phone over the likes of Xiaomi 14 ultra and vivo x100 pro just because of that 19.5:9 aspect ratio

Attention everyone!! You'll see Honor used DxO ranking #1 @ their WMC presentation - which is true until you read the test itself. Open Selfie test of Magic6 and in literally every scenario iPhone won (skin color, white balance, video too (not simply won, OBLITERATED Magic6, Magic6 looks worse than the Find X6 Pro with camera issues (red face, desaturation, etc.))) and they still awarded Magic6 more points for some bs! So be aware they're paying sites to give them higher rates.
p.s. im not commenting other tests except selfie as I'm not a professional in any of those areas so be aware of that too, photography either but this is so obvious.
also I've already used a Magic6 a few weeks ago (cn version with 100w charger) and it was good, display was stunning but damn cameras are for sure nowhere near #1 spot

great battery life as expected, screen is nice and bright as well. Camera is a bit of a let down because even 5x looks artificial, what's the point of 180 MP if I can't do even 2x crop without it looking weird? Like I expected a "lossless" kind of 4x-ish crop, so 10x. Maybe Honor hasn't properly optimized its algorithm idk. I commend them for the different modes, everyone's catching up to Xiaomi and Vivo's imaging modes now it seems, and I love it! Speakers are a bit of a weird change, I preferred the old sound but people have different preferences ig. Selfies look pretty damn mediocre to me though, like a midranger or something, they seem to have a solid sensor, just needs some work in terms of processing and optimization it seems.
What I'm confused about is how tf does Honor charge this huge ahh 5600 mah battery with "only" 66 w so quickly? Like yeah it's a bit slower than Vivo and Oneplus but the charging speeds are faster than the bloody Magic5 Pro whilst having a 500 mah larger battery. Am I the only one tweaking or is this just absolutely incredible!?
Anyways, not a bad phone but certainly a bit weird to go down from 3.5x to 2.5x with weird looking 5x zoom. Hope Honor fixes it or something. Certainly a far better offer than last year's one after comparing them to the competition. But still, just like Xiaomi, software is not worthy of that high price tag and I think if someone wants a superb camera system an Oppo, Xiaomi or Vivo can do the trick with better software.
