The smartphone industry is fiercely competitive, with big names like Apple and Samsung always pushing the limits of technology. Despite this, Honor aims to carve out a significant presence with its flagship model, the Honor Magic 6 Pro.
Unveiled recently in Bangladesh, the Magic 6 Pro is designed to offer top-tier performance and advanced features that make it a formidable contender in the flagship smartphone market.
Combining cutting-edge hardware with sleek design, this device aims to set a new standard for what users can expect from a premium smartphone.
In the flagship market, the Magic 6 Pro holds its own against models like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Google Pixel 8 Pro. While Samsung excels in display quality and Google in software optimization and camera performance, Honor's eye-tracking technology and silicon-carbon battery offer distinct advantages.
Though not as globally recognized as Apple or Samsung, Honor is expanding its presence with the Magic 6 Pro. The device's combination of cutting-edge technology, advanced AI capabilities, and competitive pricing makes it a standout in the smartphone market.
The Magic 6 Pro official price in Bangladesh is BDT 1,29,999 with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of phone storage.
Display and design
The Magic 6 Pro is a visual delight, boasting a stunning 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 2800 pixels.
Honor's screen can shine really bright, up to 5,000 nits when watching HDR content, and 1,600 nits when you're outside in bright sunlight.
The screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring silky-smooth scrolling and an immersive viewing experience, whether you're gaming or streaming your favorite shows.
The curved edges and ultra-thin bezels enhance the aesthetic appeal, making it a device that looks as good as it performs.
The back panel is made of soft faux leather material and is both grippy and not welcoming to fingerprints. The black variant, on the other hand, features a glass back.
Storage and performance
Under the hood, the Magic 6 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with up to 12/16GB of RAM and 256/512GB and 1TB of internal storage.
This powerhouse combination ensures that the device can handle the most demanding tasks with ease, from intensive gaming to multitasking between numerous apps.
The phone also runs on Magic OS 8, based on Android 14, offering a smooth and intuitive user experience with a host of customization options. Honor promises 4 major OS updates and 5 years of security patches.
Apart from the usual Magic OS stuff, some cool new features are meant to bring the Magic Pro 6 into the AI era.
There's the AI suggestion feature, which will give you apps based on your behaviour. The Magic Text feature lets you extract text from images and use it contextually.
The Magic Portal, on the other hand, is quite helpful. It lets you select text or an image, and when you drag it to the right corner of the screen, you can send it directly to an app, as suggested by the AI algorithm.
Camera features
Photography is a highlight of the Magic 6 Pro, thanks to its versatile camera system. Honor has equipped the Magic 6 Pro with a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide lens, as well as the 180MP periscope telephoto lens with OIS, 2.5x optical zoom, and 100x digital zoom.
This setup allows users to capture stunning photos in various conditions, from detailed landscapes to close-up portraits. On the front, the device features a 50MP selfie camera, ensuring crisp and clear selfies and video calls.
Battery life and charging
One of the standout features of the Magic 6 Pro is its battery life. Thanks to its 5,600mAh battery that makes use of second-generation silicon carbon technology, the device will last you the day with a big left in the tank, even with heavy use. The phone supports 80W wired charging and 66W wireless charging.
Connectivity and additional features
