Editorial report

Honor Magic 6 16 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Honor Magic6 suits buyers looking for a high-end Android phone with a standout display and fast wireless charging. One important consideration with this configuration is that it has no Google Services. The phone is sold in 12 GB / 256 GB, 16 GB / 256 GB, and 16 GB / 512 GB configurations; this version has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.

Its 6.78″ LTPO OLED display offers 453 ppi and peak brightness of 5000 nits, both among the best figures of its time. It also has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 1264 × 2800 px resolution. Its hardware is better than that of most phones launched around the same time, while its AnTuTu result is among the highest. Connectivity is also better than most phones of its time.

The camera setup stands out for its 1/1.3″ sensor and 2.5x optical zoom, both among the best of the period. The f/1.9 aperture, however, is less bright than that of most phones from the same time. The 5450 mAh battery and 50 W wireless charging are among the best specifications of its time; wired charging is rated at 66 W. Its overall NeoScore is 8.5. The Honor Magic6 is a strong option for buyers who prioritize the display, battery and photographic flexibility, provided the lack of Google Services fits their needs.
