    MagicOS is super solid.
    Desktop Mode is outstanding.
    CPU performance meets other flagships.
    Cameras are excellent.
    Yep, another excellent device in 2023.
    This year is insane.
    Also, special shout out to the FIND X6 PRO's bRoll footage.

    15:51 I scoured all the reviews of this Honor phone, but I still can't believe that TK is the only person (and I do mean THE ONLY person) that covers Magic Desktop Mode. Everyone else mostly talks about the camera and the display only.

    Recent subscriber because of my interest in the device, so thanks for being one of the few tech reviewers to deliver it so eloquently! Does seem to be the most LG type phone I've seen since their demise, even down to the use of the front ToF sensor for gesture control! Here in the UK it seems a really good buy, less than $900 and with free watch, free headphones and 6 months screen protection. Might just hang to see what the pixel 8 pro offers in terms of camera performance as it is rumoured to use the same sensor.

    • @TKBay

      Yes the fingerprint sensor is optical and outdoor visibility was actually pretty good but this way gets pretty bright. I will say if you are wearing polarizing glasses that will affect the readability of it
