The Honor Magic 6 Pro rapidly, and remarkably, turned into one of my preferred Android phones when I examined it previously this yearand now the Magic 6 RSR is considering that gadget a fresh coat of paint.
Honor’s “RSR” series is integrated in cooperation with Porsche Design. We initially saw it on the Honor Magic V2 RSR that Max Weinbach examined just recentlyThat collapsible gotten a thin-and-superlight body with much better scratch resistance and an improved style, however likewise a more superior price.
The exact same can be stated of the Honor Magic 6 RSR.
This brand-new gadget from Honor and Porsche Design takes whatever that was great about the Honor Magic 6 Pro — the trio of cams, exceptional display screen and biometrics, efficiency, and exceptional battery life– and supercharges it with a brand-new style and some other tweaks.
The very first thing I saw about the Honor Magic 6 RSR versus the Pro is that the brand-new style on the back is simply sensational. The car-like curves of the back of the gadget provide it such a great sensation in the hand. The electronic camera module gets back at larger modifications, dropping the off-circle of the Pro for this distinct hexagon appearance that I simply like. The cam hardware below is the same which is excellent news, however the style simply stands apart a lot more.
As pointed out, the display screen looks practically the same to the eye, and has the exact same combination of an in-display finger print sensing unit coupled with real, safe face unlock at the top of the gadget in a little pill-shaped cutout.
There are some modifications on this design.
The cover glass is more scratch-resistant with the very same “NanoCrystal Shield” as on the Magic V2 RSR– I have not invested adequate time for that to come into play, however this exact same tech made it through Max’s abuse test on the V2. The OLED panel beneath is likewise the very first “Dual-Layer” which, according to Honor, significantly extends the life-span of the panelIn my usage, however, the 2 display screens feel and look similar, the RSR needs to simply remain looking this helpful for a lot longer.
There are likewise some software application modifies on this scandal sheet, such as some enjoyable sound impacts, a black and gold color and icon style, and a speedometer search for the charging animation.
The Honor Magic 6 RSR, like the Pro, will not be pertaining to the United States, however it’s pertaining to Europe, the UK, and other areas beginning today. In the UK, it’s priced at ₤ 1,599an extra ₤ 500 over the Pro. Is it worth that extra expense? For many folks, most likely not, however this is still among the very best Android phones out today, so it’s great to see this scandal sheet make it even much better.
