Honor

“The best phone.” It’s a tough crown to achieve, because there’s a lot to balance in terms of hardware, software, and the overall experience. Despite a hefty Android skin, though, I think the Honor Magic 6 Pro gets really close to this title, or at least it would, if its best features remembered how Android actually works.

Foldables have come a long way over the past few years. Last September, I had the opportunity to play with the Honor Magic V2. At the time, it was the thinnest, coolest, and most technically advanced foldable I had ever felt, and it arguably still is. It was nearly as thin as any normal candy bar phone, had a massive battery, support for a stylus on both displays, and impressive camera specs. Since then, I’ve been able to spend much more time with the newer, better version of it – the Honor Magic V2 RSR.

At MWC 2024, Honor is launching the Magic 6 Pro globally alongside a bunch of clever new AI features. Here’s what you need to know.

Silicon-carbon batteries may be the future of mobile batteries, offering better energy density and saftey in a more sustainable battery. In its upcoming Magic 6 Pro, Honor is showing off the extreme testing that the new battery can survive in.

After debuting in China in July 2023, Honor is finally bringing its super-thin Magic V2 foldable to Europe and the UK starting today.

Most midrange phones try to find the middle ground of hardware, with every aspect taking a little hit, so the overall device is equally good. OK cameras, OK build, OK battery, OK performance, etc. Every once in a while, manufacturers try to put the part it finds most important at the forefront, which is exactly what Honor did with the Honor 90, which has one of the best displays I’ve seen on any mobile phone, but it costs just $430.

The latest book-style foldable is the Honor Magic V2, and it’s pushing the market forward with what seems like an impossibly thin design that, even when folded, is only slightly thicker than a regular phone.

Honor is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated foldable smartphone, the Honor Magic Vs, in the UK, just a few months after its MWC announcement.

For years, Honor was known as the Huawei sub-brand focused on budget devices, but after the Huawei-US issues, Honor split off from Huawei and became its own company. This has allowed Honor to really show what its mobile technology can do. Last year’s Honor Magic 4 Pro had some of the best hardware but was hampered by poor camera software. Now, the Honor Magic 5 Pro fixes that, while providing one of the best all-around devices with interesting software choices.

Today at Honor’s “Unleash the Power of Magic” event at MWC, it announced the global launch of two new phones: Honor Magic Vs and Honor Magic 5 Pro.

Qualcomm today announced that Snapdragon Satellite is coming to new Android smartphones from Oppo, Nothing, Motorola, and more, as well as coming to more Snapdragon chips in the future.

Honor has officially unveiled the Magic Vs, its foldable for late 2022 and early 2023 with a number of improvements and an enticingly low entry-price.

The foldable market continues to heat up, as the success of Samsung’s recent attempts has pushed more companies to try out the space. This week, formerly Huawei-owned Honor is debuting its first foldable smartphone, the Honor Magic V.

Former Huawei sub-brand Honor has now officially launched a trio of Magic3 devices with a number of impressive internals but most importantly for global markets, Google Play Store access.

It’s been over two years since Huawei was cut off from the Google Play Store and other crucial Android apps. Now, after splitting from Huawei, the Honor brand is launching its first device with Google apps in the flagship Honor 50 series.
