Huawei Mate 70 Pro

Huawei has unveiled its latest flagship series: the Mate 70 Pro Plus, Mate 70 Pro, and Mate X6 foldable phone. The Mate 70 series boasts an advanced camera system with a variable aperture and periscope telephoto lens, ensuring exceptional photography capabilities in various lighting conditions. Meanwhile, the Mate X6 foldable phone redefines slimness with a thickness of just 4.6mm in its unfolded state, making it the thinnest foldable phone to date. With impressive specs, sleek designs, and innovative features, these devices are poised to revolutionize the smartphone market. In this review, we'll delve into the details of each model.

Honor Magic6 Pro

The Honor Magic6 Pro is a well-rounded flagship phone that excels in various departments. The phone's bright and brilliant screen is a highlight, offering excellent color accuracy and brightness. The user interface is also smooth and fast, making it a joy to use. In terms of performance, the phone delivers excellent gaming experiences, handling demanding games with ease. The camera setup is impressive, featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an Ultra-wide lens, and a front-facing camera that takes great selfies. The AI motion capture feature is particularly notable, allowing for stunning portraits with a blurred background. Low-light performance is also top-notch, thanks to the mechanical f/1.4 aperture. The Ultra-wide lens captures more than expected, while macro shots could be sharper. One of the standout features is the AI motion sensing capture system, which takes incredible stills of moving subjects. The phone's cameras overall are very good, with a bright and fast lens that can open right up to let in more light. The only notable downsides to this phone are the slightly awkward pop-up style notch, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. However, it gains you 3D face unlocking capabilities with its own dedicated security chip and front-facing footage is very good. Build quality is also excellent, but unfortunately, a charger or case isn't included in the box. Overall, the Honor Magic6 Pro is an excellent all-rounded flagship phone that checks most boxes, making it a solid choice for those looking for a reliable device.
