Honor Magic6 Pro is the best camera phone in the world

DxOMark, the leading authority on smartphone camera ratings, awarded the Honor Magic6 Pro a record score of 158 points. This impressive achievement beats the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, iPhone 15 Pro Max and most other flagship smartphones (except the untested Xiaomi 14 Ultra).

Honor Magic6 Pro takes the crown in DxOMark’s camera tests

The Honor Magic6 Pro excels in several key areas. DxOMark highlights its ability to capture vivid and natural colors in both photos and videos. In addition, the phone boasts exceptional detail across various zoom ranges thanks to its flexible camera system. Autofocus is consistently fast and accurate, delivering sharp results. Photographers will appreciate the large depth of field, allowing clear focus on subjects at various distances within a single frame. The camera also impresses with its wide dynamic range, faithfully reproducing scenes with balanced exposure even in challenging lighting conditions.

However, DxOMark acknowledges some limitations. In certain scenarios, especially in low-light environments, the processing can introduce unnatural details in both photos and videos. Similar artifacts may appear when zooming. Video recording can suffer from inconsistent sharpness, especially while on the move. Also, high-contrast scenes may show artifacts, and very low-light portraits may show some blurring.

Despite these minor flaws, DxOMark enthusiastically praises the Honor Magic6 Pro: “This smartphone delivers outstanding performance in our camera tests, securing the top spot and beating flagships like the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+. It has demonstrated consistent excellence in almost all areas of testing. Proving to be a significant improvement over its predecessor, the Magic5 Pro.”

It is worth noting that the Honor Magic6 Pro is the leader not only in the main camera category, but also dominates the front camera ranking. It also holds the top spot for both screen and battery life, with an impressive second place for sound quality. With this comprehensive set of strengths, the Honor Magic6 Pro establishes itself as a compelling option for users looking for a premium mobile photography experience.
