Honor Magic series has comprehensive leading technology, the last generation of Magic5 series in imaging, performance, communication, battery and other multi-dimensional comprehensive technology explosion, to bring a new experience beyond imagination. This time around, the Magic6 series claims to go from technology leader to industry leader, but how does the standard version perform? How far will the experience be from the Pro version? Let's take a look.
The classic design is inherited again, and the material technology has been revolutionized
When it comes to the appearance of the Honor Magic series, the first thing that comes to mind is the Deco design of the "Eye of the Muse". From the Magic3 series to the Magic5 series, the "Eye of the Muse" has been evolving, and the Magic6 series is no exception. Inspired by the Chinese civilization's cosmology of "heaven is round and earth is square", the lens of Honor Magic6 is designed in the form of a pillow with an inner circle and an outer square, combining square and round, making the overall view simple and uncomplicated.
The lens of Honor Magic6 follows the arrangement of the previous generation, and the telephoto lens on the top has been enlarged, which is more recognizable and also highlights the focus of this image upgrade. Underneath the Deco is a "50X" logo, indicating that the telephoto can support up to 50X digital zoom.
In terms of color schemes, the Honor Magic 6 comes in a range of colors inspired by the magnificent wonders of nature, with four color schemes: 'Qilian Snow', 'Sea Lake Green', 'Wheat Wave Green' and 'Flowing Cloud Purple'. The "Sea Lake Green" color scheme in our hands absorbed the winter of Qinghai Lake, a quiet blue secret world, a texture like cracks on the frozen lake, combined with the combination of multi-layer materials, the overall appearance of a more three-dimensional sense, frosted texture on the hand is also very delicate.
On the front of the body, the glory Magic6 whole series adopts a full range of low-power LTPO eye protection screen, the standard version is equipped with a 6.78-inch fully symmetrical iso-depth micro-curved screen, with a resolution of 2800x1264, and a PPI of 453 to make the display more delicate. Tested this screen can reach a global maximum brightness of 1500nit when watching HDR photos, and can also have a greater dynamic range when watching movies, the visual effect is more shocking.
Why do you say that the Honor Magic 6 series is a full-area low-power LTPO screen? Because usually to reduce the refresh rate of a cell phone to 1Hz, it requires more than 500nit of brightness, but Honor Magic6 upgraded LTPO can achieve a refresh rate of 1Hz at any brightness (the minimum support 2nit), and lower power consumption brings more power-saving effect.
Not only that, the glory Magic6 screen is made of glory giant rhinoceros glass, with the second generation of nano-microcrystalline glass technology, which can realize the effect of the whole scene of resistance to fall ability to improve 10 times, out of the house do not have to worry about hand slippage and fall cell phone. There is also a maximum of 4320Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming, directly across the IEEE's low-risk area, truly non-disturbing eye protection performance.
Flagship chip support, experience comprehensive upgrade
Honor Magic6 is equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, which adopts TSMC's 4nm process technology, and is supported by a new architecture of 1+5+2 for strong performance. In the actual test, in the room temperature of 25 degrees of environment will "the glory of kings" picture quality adjustment to very high (120 frames) + extreme quality, remove the middle of the game change frame drop part, half an hour qualifying game average frame rate reached 119.8 frames, for these lower load scene, glory Magic6 performance is still very stable.
Next up was the more loaded Progenitus, with the image quality set to very high and the frame rate at 60 fps. The average frame rate of half an hour of Mond running and fighting monsters was 59.5 frames, and in the middle of a part of the run to the area of the glazed moon, except for a small amount of lag in the character to open the big move, the other experience is very good.
In addition, the Honor Magic 6 can also open the frame rate enhancement mode or picture quality enhancement mode through the game assistant to further improve the game experience. With the support of the game AI super frame super painting engine, Honor Magic6 can realize the 1080P resolution of the original God, and the picture quality level is directly comparable to that of PC.
Endurance, glory Magic6 full system adopts the second generation of Qinghai Lake battery, has a new silicon-carbon anode material support, in the standard version put a 5450mAh high-capacity battery, with the glory of the self-developed energy-efficiency enhancement chip E1, the endurance performance is still very strong; charging glory Magic6 is equipped with a 66W fast charging, the actual test in the open high-speed mode can be charged to 100% of the capacity in less than 35 minutes, and also supports 50W fast charging. 100% capacity, while also supporting 50W wireless charging, goodbye to battery life anxiety.
Improvements in experience, not just performance
Honor Magic6 series also has a lot of experience improvements, first of all, the image, honor Magic6 standard version is equipped with OV Howell customized 50 megapixel main camera, as well as 50 megapixel ultra wide-angle lens + 32 megapixel telephoto lens triple camera combination. The main camera has a large aperture of F1.9 and supports OIS optical stabilization, while the telephoto lens supports 2.5X optical zoom and up to 50X digital zoom.
From the sample photos, the glory Magic6 main camera's colors are natural and more in line with the naked eye's perception, and with the support of Super Dynamic HDR, the color of the subject has a very obvious enhancement effect.

Although the Honor Magic6 is a vertical telephoto lens, the color of the shot can be well consistent with the main camera, compared with the main camera can also better avoid the cluttered scene, better highlight the subject of the shot, coupled with a good clarity, the night shot can also have a very good purity.

After the image is finished, another experience enhancement of Honor Magic6 is the most basic communication function, adding a self-developed RF enhancement chip HONOR C1+, in addition to supporting rich 5G bands, it can also enhance the network and call experience in the basement, elevator, subway, and other such disadvantaged signal scenarios.
The actual test in the network signal is poor subway station, other cell phones will often appear to pause buffering, and glory Magic6 although there will also be a pause buffering, but soon can resume playback, visible this self-research RF enhancement chip role is still quite big.
System, glory Magic6 equipped with MagicOS8.0 system, a new addition to the personalized AI model, support for the glory of 7 billion parameters of the self-developed segment side of the big model, the user's intention to understand more accurate, truly realize "let the phone know you better".
In my use of the most obvious perception is the YOYO assistant, when I approach the subway station desktop card will directly show me which subway station, and provide a key to open the ride code option, I have to say that this convenience is still quite high.
There is also a "arbitrary door" function, glory Magic6 can be based on the end side of the AI model of the user's habits of learning, and drag and drop content when the intelligent recommendation of the corresponding APP. for example, in the selection of a paragraph with the location of the sentence, the system will recommend the map software, convenient to directly search the specific location, drag and drop pictures can be recognized WeChat or notes, convenient record life.
As early as in the glory V20 has a similar creative "dynamic capsule" function, in the glory Magic6 on the side of the AI end with the help of a large model to continue to carry forward, the top of the front lens position can provide a countdown, vehicle status and other real-time information, click on the capsule can also be displayed in more detail, without having to switch to the corresponding APP can be At a glance, you can even operate the notification capsule through eye gaze based on Honor's unique eye movement control technology.
