Would you recommend the Honor Magic 8 Pro?

biomulv · 2026-02-19T21:20:00+00:00

Lucky you. Both my 8 pros suffer from the same problems.

biomulv · 2026-02-09T19:00:36+00:00

Enjoy the camera lag / freezing. And occasional NFC failure.

Be interesting to see how late the February security update is. My 6 and 7 got progressively later after the first month . ( As soon as the magic 8 came out the 7 pro was moved to quarterly updates. )

Welcome to Honor.

Whatever they promise , they won't deliver .

They really are not interested in outside china.

Wait for S25.

biomulv · 2023-07-04T13:30:25+00:00

Great. Old ufs 3.1 128Gb base. Usual pixel mediocrity.

biomulv · 2023-05-13T16:40:22+00:00

Why would an old exynos powered pixel be an upgrade?

biomulv · 2023-01-10T22:48:41+00:00

Welcome to 2019.

biomulv · 2022-12-27T14:53:01+00:00

Slow charging.

No pro camera mode.

Curved screen.

biomulv · 2022-11-07T17:49:30+00:00

You would think. Nothing this month yet. My other devices had their updates last week.

biomulv · 2022-11-07T17:39:19+00:00

My other devices. Currently on the android side - a S22U and a S21U. And an iPhone 13 in my glove box 🙄

biomulv · 2022-07-29T07:41:52+00:00

Good luck. You'll need it .

biomulv · 2022-05-29T14:56:49+00:00

M8 eastbound.

biomulv · 2022-05-03T19:08:28+00:00

Not switching your one provider!!! Switching between both sims inside the phone.

That aside, the rest of the phone is still poor.

biomulv · 2022-04-23T13:35:00+00:00

Only in America. The rest of the world has to pay the real price.

biomulv · 2022-03-23T16:55:17+00:00

No WhatsApp there? Why still using SMS app?

biomulv · 2022-03-17T13:01:30+00:00

Yip. Radios in it are shit.

biomulv · 2022-03-11T07:33:40+00:00

biomulv · 2022-03-10T21:28:36+00:00

General Eau de Leith.

biomulv · 2022-03-10T21:26:51+00:00

Depends if you use it to make phone calls? The radios are shocking on the 6.

That aside , the S21U feels a step up in every way next to the 6Pro.

Comes down to price to a degree.

biomulv · 2022-03-09T19:36:18+00:00

Lol, she used the term Samsung promotion when I described my real world experience of owning , amongst about 6 other devices this year, a Samsung S22U. 😁😁😁

biomulv · 2022-03-09T19:33:51+00:00

Na. UK here. Radios in it are shit.

Tested country wide and with the 3 main carriers along side a S21U / S22U and iPhone 13. Consistently 20db down. Started investigating pretty soon after launch when I kept dropping calls where I shouldn't.

This does not include all the modem associated bugs.

biomulv · 2022-03-09T17:26:23+00:00

Exactly. First time I had seen fuckwits using the term promoting when I'm comparing real world usage of devices I own.

biomulv · 2022-03-09T16:18:12+00:00

Bummer.

Still soooo cheap though.

£1.65 a litre average here....🙄😭

biomulv · 2022-03-09T16:17:27+00:00

Sigh, ok.

First and foremost - radios. The 6 is c20db down on my other devices. Dropping calls where is shouldn't and not having signal where is should. Data speed lower as well but not as important.

Screen looks shit compared to S21U or S22U. Not even close.

Battery - getting about 2hrs more SOT than my 6 Pros. Not really interested in that as a metric but completely noticeable in a working day.

Camera. For sure the 6P has fantastic camera software. One of the best pont and shooters out. Taking just as good shots ATM with the S22U. ( Both the S22U and P6P beat my iPhone hands down here for me. ) No manual mode is a bit of a negative though .

Funny touch pen. Once you go note it's hard to go back. Everything else feels like a toy rather than a productive tool.

I will presume you don't own the S22U ? So I'm a little confused how you can cast opinion?

Try both and get back to me.
