Honor Magic 6 Pro Camera Test
Honor Magic 6 Pro-Friends & Family
The Magic6 Pro is an excellent device for taking pictures and recording videos of friends and family. Focus is a key criterion for this use case, and Honor did very well for this attribute, with a wide depth of field ensuring focus on all subjects in group shots, as well as accurate and very fast autofocus allowing the capture of the decisive moment in moving scenes.
Honor Magic 6 Pro Lowlight
The Honor Magic6 Pro provides excellent noise management, which is a key factor in low-light shooting. In addition, the camera captured images with a wide dynamic range, accurate target exposure, and nice color rendering in most conditions, including low-light scenes. On the downside, subject detail could be low, or look unnatural in low light.
Honor Magic 6 Pro Photo
The Honor Magic6 equals the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ for the top score in the photo category, thanks to very good exposure and color as well as an excellent autofocus performance. Texture was the only test area where the Honor disappointed slightly, due to occasional unnatural texture rendering on faces.
Honor Magic 6 Pro Preview
The Magic 6 Pro provided a very good preview of the final capture in the camera app, always showing similar face exposure between capture and preview. But when it comes to preview in general, the latest iPhone generation is still very slightly ahead, thanks to better user experience when it comes to zoom.
Honor Magic 6 Pro Zoom
The Magic 6 Pro achieved the top score for zoom to date, thanks to very good consistency across pretty much the entire zoom range and excellent repeatability. The quality of the ultra-wide camera stood out especially, delivering the best results of all tested smartphones to date.
Honor Magic 6 Pro Video
In video mode, the Honor Magic 6 Pro is noticeably improved over its predecessor Magic5 Pro, but the Magic 6 Pro could not quite match the best-in-class Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Oppo Find X7 Ultra. The Honor provided an overall very good video experience, with good color and color transitions. In addition, exposure was accurate and stable in most test conditions.
