The whole no charger in the box and no case is why i went for the OnePlus 12 over this phone. Also crap freebies!! I was expecting more tbh. I imported the 16+1TB OnePlus flashed with Oxygen OS for 699 pounds so im pretty happy. This phone still looks great but i think the magic 5 pro was peak
Great vids... Honor has No Honour .. Chinese version has case and charger in the box..Why don't they do that to the Chinese population....... Because I wouldn't sell....... Apple and Samsung do it to everyone Fair/Unfair 😢
I setup my one yesterday ...within 2 minutes 6% battery gone Case is very slippery and don't cover sides ,but for £10 is worth anyway Few problems to install messenger,but reinstalled app help And I don't think battery will be much better than others,but maybe phone still learn 😊
First of your videos I've seen and really liked it. I've got a Pixel 8 Pro at the moment but I'm seriously tempted. Does the Honor have any kind of call screening feature? I don't get a ton of unexpected phone calls but it's so helpful to be able to understand why someone is calling so I can make a decision as to whether to stop what I'm doing to take a call. I'm guessing Honor have their own apps which duplicate some of the stock Android apps, where this is the case can you easily delete duplicate apps? Lastly if changing the launcher, does that break any of the MagicOS features like the magic capsule or the lock screen customisation? I like using icon packs to refresh the look of my device.
I love all the negative comments regarding Honor ‘copying’ features from other OS’s. So what, don’t you want the best of both worlds? Imagine an OS with the best of what Apple & Samsung/Google have to offer. All I want now is Samsungs Edge Panel feature and I’m sold.
Great first review, thanks for getting it out so quick for those interested in this and the specs. Got half an eye on this but only if I know it can take better pics than my P40 Pro Plus, as you know that's got 10x optical and 5G but no GMS hence I need an Honor X6 for banking but not having GMS is by no means a deal breaker for me...or maybe Huawei can top the Magic 6 Pro this year...but, at a price.
Hi, great into for this. I've git my eye on this one. In your full review, can you give us a good example of the speaker quality? Also cell reception. Look forward to it!
So far they said they focused on the hardware part and the software is coming, but what we see is still the software from Huawei with small changes... There are no themes adapted to Magic OS 8, the theme editor is missing, one over another is a shame
Great video as always. Noticed that the link you provided is for the Chinese version only even though you’re using the global version. Can you send the link for the global version for the uk store that ships internationally? I’m in Australia.
And I understand new Pad and other. Should we wait or can you advise on what models are best. The 6L is substantially cheaper with free gift. Is the 899 Pro worth the extra. Then there is the Vivo, hahahaha. Head spinning
Great vidoe. hello. I saw that the Chinese version has Google services. Besides Android Auto, is there anything else that doesn't work? Does google wallet work?
Used the Chinese version, it comes with the charger and the case in the box. The software experience is not great and the camera is hit and miss, the front shooter is trash. The dynamic island only works with built-in apps, face ID doesn't work with banking apps. Software is way too janky however, the battery life is light-year ahead of the pack.
@@AverageDadOfficial apparently it's in the settings somewhere. Is the zoom really good? I'm doubtful. I have a Huawei P40 Pro and it's zoom at 5x and 10x is excellent. Will the honor be better? Huawei was so good. Sad about the ban. So I struggle sometimes. So I want to switch to Honor. I would like an Oppo Find X7 Ultra or Vivo X100 pro but global carriers aren't carrying it.
@@AverageDadOfficial ive seen it being done on chinese version so it must be in the settings somewhere. can i just ask you about the charger. i noticed the cable that comes included in the box of the phone is type C to type C but the charger that you have to buy separately is type A charger. so do you get a type A to type C cable included in the box with a charger or whats the deal? thanks

@@AverageDadOfficial thanks. Face ID is the only thing I "miss" from the iPhone, so this phone having a 3D face unlock caught my attention. Having to constantly switch between biometric methods would be annoying I think. What's an app that does accept it? If at least some do, while most don't, I'm guessing it's not an Android issue but apps not including it in their code (?).
One quick question when the phone is as available in UK or Ireland what specs are on it 12gb ram/512gb storage or 16gb ram/1tb storage as I am going for higher storage if available and roughly what price cheers Declan 👍
The Xiaomi is way more expensive but if u really don't care about the money, you will probably get a bit more. But Battery life is better on the Honor + Face unlock
Short Answer: both cost the same, I'd take the Honor Magic 6 pro Honor: + Face ID + Best Battery life on the market + Best screen, speakers and selfies (according to dxomark) + 66W wireless charging (OnePlus:50W) (+ Better camera than oneplus 12) -/+ curved screen OnePlus 12: + higher pixel density (510ppi) + 100W charging (Honor: 80W) (+Capable of 8k 24fps video) - only IP65
@@AverageDadOfficial just the 14 it's called isn't it? Not the ultra. Both come out about the same price in UK it seems. Xiaomi give a watch and a pad with the 14 but I don't really want it. Is the camera on magic 6 pro superior to the 14? (I think pro is just bigger, same specs, only sold in China I believe)
@@44Hogarth wanted to clarify... the regular 14 is nowhere near this phone mate, the pro is close but then it is too expensive. the Honor is the best value for money
@@AverageDadOfficial as good as new! But i got a good deal (including reselling my magic 5) and the upgrade would cost me about 300€. And since you used both, you probably can tell if it's worth it I wish they gave it a flat screen finally.. Hopefully next year
Honor makes really nice phones. It is reflected in the engineering designs it inherited from Huawei.

Super jealous of UK buyers being a US resident, it's the one phone so far this year I'd consider next to my Pixel 8 Pro.
Great video. Looking forward to seeing the content going forward on this phone. On the fence on whether to buy or not.
Great vids... Honor has No Honour .. Chinese version has case and charger in the box..Why don't they do that to the Chinese population....... Because I wouldn't sell....... Apple and Samsung do it to everyone Fair/Unfair 😢
Any link for the Honor charger please? Totally agree with your comments on the almost empty box trend.
Watching on my epi green Magic 6 Pro!
So good!

Honor UK

Will do

Any advice on how to convert a chinese version of the magic os 8 to the global version?
Great video as always. Noticed that the link you provided is for the Chinese version only even though you’re using the global version. Can you send the link for the global version for the uk store that ships internationally? I’m in Australia.
?? i never posted a link! just search honor global
@@AverageDadOfficial oh okay, that makes sense lol. Honor global won’t ship to Australia so I’m outta luck. Thanks anyway mate. Keep up the good work
What is software support like? Im deciding between this and the xiaomi 14 ultra
on magic os 8 you can swipe down for control center and notification
yes, sorted now, thanks
Does it has an optical or a ultrasonic fingerprint sensor?
optical
Great video Mike and looking forward to some auto show footage.
Coming soon!
And I understand new Pad and other. Should we wait or can you advise on what models are best. The 6L is substantially cheaper with free gift. Is the 899 Pro worth the extra. Then there is the Vivo, hahahaha. Head spinning
Great vidoe.
hello. I saw that the Chinese version has Google services. Besides Android Auto, is there anything else that doesn't work? Does google wallet work?
Quick question does anybody know if the 3D face unlock works with UK banks like the iphone does?
No! only uPhone
Next to the s24 ultra, the screen of the Honor looks a lot narrower, while these are both 8,6 inch screens?? I am confused.
Honor screen curves, samsung screen flat, 6.8 inch includes the curves of the screen too
I was just about to order it but before, I wanted to say would you pick this over the Vivo X100 Pro?
Which should I choose?
Yes, this is global so easier to use
@@AverageDadOfficial ?
Ill still take my s24 ultra but it seems like a killer phone 📱
What about the satelit calling is this active one the HM6 pro? Because the Chinese has it active from the start!

Cual tiene mejor pantalla el s24u o el honor 6pro?
I've seen that you can change what the swipe down on the home screen does. Now you can choose it to be the notifications bar.
Oh really?? excellent news!!

Yes you get a cable in with the charger. good question!
Is there an RSR version of pro out in March.
But what about the Honor Magic 6 ? I am afraid there will no global version of the Honor Magic 6. The 6 will stay in China.
Hi! Do third party apps downloaded from the Play Store accept the 3D face unlock for app biometric unlock or is that limited to fingerprint only?
Fingerprint only for most!

I don't really like the case, it's not worth a £10er lol
How can I change the charging mode from fast to slow? I've got the same brick charge as you
On the new update, does it still do that annoying thing when you play CZcams videos with the overlay that you manually have to click the X button?
You mean the pop out window? Thats a setting in the YT app
@@garnetklee9837 not the pop up window
That overly with the play. Pause. Settings and an X on the right hand corner
what is the differences between the 6 pro and the 6 pro rsr

All the specs/price etc are now on the Honor UK website as it was made available on Sunday 25th February.👍
The dynamic island gets an instant nope for me, i hate it on my iphone 14 pro max so for sure ill hate it on this.
i have a s24 plus currently should i upgrade to this phone honor magic 6 pro ?
Should I buy honor or stay on Samsung s24 plus ?
This is one sexy phone. Gorgeous colour. How does it compare with the OnePlus 12?
i prefer the deign of the Honor
Hmm buying it or the xiaomi 14 ultra? Anyways, very nice video 🎉
The Xiaomi is way more expensive but if u really don't care about the money, you will probably get a bit more.
But Battery life is better on the Honor + Face unlock
This
I don't know If I could take this amazing phone or buy an used magic 5 pro for 500€ only
Where can u get a magic 5 pro in good condition for 500€? I'm interested
average which would you recommend between oneplus 12 and honor magic 6pro? im not a camera heavy user..
Short Answer: both cost the same, I'd take the Honor Magic 6 pro
Honor:
+ Face ID
+ Best Battery life on the market
+ Best screen, speakers and selfies (according to dxomark)
+ 66W wireless charging (OnePlus:50W)
(+ Better camera than oneplus 12)
-/+ curved screen
OnePlus 12:
+ higher pixel density (510ppi)
+ 100W charging (Honor: 80W)
(+Capable of 8k 24fps video)
- only IP65
What he said lol!
That dynamic pill is so revolutionary 😁😁 it wouldn't be a Chinese phone with some things "borrowed" from previously bitten fruit 🤣🤣
Honor invented that tech though. V20 had it and I think it was also called magic capsule.
Honor & other Chinese flagships are superior to Apple. Even without the price difference. Apple copied loads from Android & the stylus from Samsung.
Is the 3D facial recognition as good as Face ID ?
I think technically it is but if not, it is far safer than a regular android hole punch
How many yrs software update?
4 and 5 years security
You think this or xiaomi 14? I can't decide. Pretty similar price
the 14 pro or Ultra?
@@AverageDadOfficial just the 14 it's called isn't it? Not the ultra. Both come out about the same price in UK it seems. Xiaomi give a watch and a pad with the 14 but I don't really want it.

@@AverageDadOfficial thanks for reply. Think I'll go for the honor then 👍🏼
Should I upgrade from magic 5 pro?
Not if your 5 pro is still in great shape
@@AverageDadOfficial as good as new! But i got a good deal (including reselling my magic 5) and the upgrade would cost me about 300€. And since you used both, you probably can tell if it's worth it
I wish they gave it a flat screen finally.. Hopefully next year
Is this version support esim ?
yes
They took something away and charge the same for it how American of them
This or oppo find x7 ultra
This because it is global ROM
Hahahahah join rest of the world!
Freudian slip
