Falcon Camera System

The HONOR Magic6 Pro comes with the following rear cameras:

• 180MP f/2.6 OIS Periscope Telephoto Camera
• 50MP f/1.4-f/2.0 OIS Super Dynamic Falcon Main Camera H9000
• 50MP f/2.0 Ultra-Wide Camera

The main camera uses a 1/1.3-inch HDR sensor that intelligently switches between the two apertures. It also allows users more light control. Meanwhile, the 1/1.49-inch telephoto camera has 400% better light sensing, for detailed images at up to 10x in-sensor zoom. In front is another 50MP ultra-wide camera.

At the heart of the HONOR Magic6 Pro’s Falcon Camera System is its AI Motion Sensing and Sports Portrait algorithms that allow the cameras to effortlessly capture subjects at fast shutter speeds. HONOR utilized a vast data set of about 8 million images and 10 different scenarios to let the algorithm do its work.

Ridiculously fast

Under the hood, the Magic6 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It has a configuration of 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage, and also has a 5,600mAh silicon-carbon battery. This battery supports 80W wired and 66W wireless SuperCharge.

The iconic Nokia 3210 celebrated its 25^th birthday back in March. To celebrate, HMD Global teased that a revival is coming in May. Well, May is here, and we finally know what the revived phone will look like. HMD Global has officially revealed the new Nokia 3210, updated for today’s smartphone ecosystem.

The new version revives the iconic look of the original brick phone. It rocks the nostalgic keypad and small screen of the classic.

Now, if you’re worried about getting left behind in terms of technology, the new lineup will have a 2.4-inch color LCD screen and access to Nokia’s Cloud Apps. More technically, it comes with the Unisoc T107 processor and the S30+ operating system. It has Bluetooth 5.0 and an MP3 player function.

On the flipside, the new Nokia 3210 is gloriously low-tech. It only has 64MB (yes, as in megabytes) of RAM and 128MB of storage. You can, however, up the storage to 32GB via a microSD card. It comes with a 2-megapixel camera and a torch/flash. If that’s not enough nostalgia for you, it will come with the original Snake.

The new Nokia 3210 series will come in three colors: Scuba Blue, Y2K Gold, and Grunge Black. Price and availability will depend on the region. The series will notably skip the United States.
