Pros and Cons

Huawei Mate 70 Pro+

Strengths

The phone has gotten bigger and thicker, but feels worse in the hand due to its rounded frames, which some people may like.
The camera performance is significantly upgraded with an ultra-wide camera, a T-camera with a larger aperture, and an ultra-chroma camera for more accurate white balance.
The battery capacity has grown to 5,500mAh, and power of wire and wireless charging has been upgraded.
The phone's design, particularly the exterior, is top-notch in my mind, even if it may not be harmonious with others.

Weaknesses

The phone feels worse in the hand due to its bigger size and thickness.
The battery capacity upgrade is not necessarily a significant advantage, as it's still one of the few phones with this feature.
The fingerprint unlock has been moved from under the display to the power button, which may be considered a downgrade (although it's not a big deal for most users).
The processor upgrade is small considering the semiconductor situation in China right now.

Honor Magic6

Strengths

Excellent set of cameras
Great low light performance
Ultra-wide photos are sharp
Front-facing camera produces excellent footage
Bright and brilliant screen

Weaknesses

Unappealing pull-style notch design
No charger or case included in the box

Huawei Mate 70 Pro+

The highly anticipated Huawei Mate 70 series has finally arrived, marking the 15th month since the release of its predecessor, the Mate 60 series. This latest iteration promises to be a game-changer with significant upgrades, particularly in camera performance and system capabilities. The Mate 70 Pro boasts an impressive array of features, including IP69 certification for high-temperature and pressure waterproofing, a larger battery capacity, and improved wireless charging capabilities. With its sleek design and robust specifications, this phone is poised to become Huawei's best yet.

Honor Magic6

The Honor Magic6 Pro is a well-rounded flagship phone that excels in various aspects. The device features a bright and brilliant screen with excellent color accuracy, making it perfect for multimedia consumption. In terms of performance, the phone delivers smooth and fast UI experience, making multitasking and gaming a breeze. The camera system is impressive, with great low-light performance thanks to the f/1.4 mechanical variable aperture lens. The main camera handles bright colors well, capturing detailed images even in direct sunlight. The Ultra-wide camera produces sharp photos with plenty of details. The phone also features a 50MP front-facing camera that takes excellent selfies and supports AI-powered motion capture technology. This feature allows for smooth and blur-free photography of moving subjects. Other notable features include fast charging (up to 35 minutes at 80W), loudspeakers, and IP67 water resistance. The device has its own dedicated security chip and a time-of-flight sensor that powers the advanced facial recognition system. The design is sleek, with a metal frame and glass back, but it's marred by the somewhat divisive "punch hole" style notch on the screen. This design choice may not appeal to everyone, but it does come with the added benefit of secure 3D face unlocking. In conclusion, the Honor Magic6 Pro is an excellent flagship phone that offers a great balance of performance, cameras, and features. It's a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and feature-packed device without breaking the bank.
