The future of smartphone photography
The HONOR Magic6 Pro is is launching globally later this month, as recently announced. It’s part of HONOR’s latest flagship smartphone series that also includes the HONOR Magic6.
The two devices are the latest iterations of HONOR’s flagship series smartphones. And just like its, the HONOR Magic6 Pro promises an entirely different level of mobile photography.
Historically, HONOR hasn’t shied away from promoting its flagship phones’ capable cameras. It can be recalled that the Guinness World Records partnered with the HONOR Magic5 Pro to showcase how it can capture a dunker mid-air.
Future of smartphone sports photography
HONOR is doubling down on their commitment to that direction with the Magic6 Pro. The brand tapped three-time World Champion and two-time Olympian fencer Cécilia Berder this time for the project.
As you may have already guessed, the HONOR Magic6 Pro was used to capture her movements and highlight the phone’s capabilities.
In anticipation of the Magic6 Pro’s release, here’s a more detailed breakdown of its camera package.
Cameras
The HONOR Magic6 Pro will have the following cameras:
- 180MP f/2.6 OIS Periscope telephoto camera
- 50MP f/1.4 to f/2.0 OIS wide-angle camera
- 50MP f/2.0 AF ultra-wide angle camera
The telephoto camera has a 1/1.49-inch sensor, allowing a 400% enhancement in light sensing.
With a large sensor, the Magic6 Pro can effortlessly capture shots at 2.5X zoom at fast shutter speeds. The camera can also achieve 5X to 10X in-sensor zoom, and up to 100X super resolution.
The main camera, meanwhile, features a 1/1.3-inch HDR sensor. HONOR has two major innovations for the Magic6 Pro as part of an improved Falcon Camera System. One is its industry-first customized HDR sensor. The other is the Ultra-large Variable Aperture.
The second innovation can be seen when using the main camera, providing users intelligent light control. With the Ultra-large Variable Aperture, the Magic6 Pro’s system can intelligently switch between f/1.4 and f/2.0 apertures, depending on the environment.
Sport Portrait Algorithm
For fast-moving subjects like Cécilia Berder, the it’s the new AI motion sensing algorithm that did the work.
HONOR input a lot of data to work on this algorithm for the Magic6 Pro, including 270,000 images to identify jumping, walking, and running. The updated version, meanwhile, utilizes a vast training dataset of 8 million images and 10 different scenarios.
Magic is coming
The HONOR Magic6 series will be officially introduced via a live event at MWC 2024 in Barcelona on February 25.

What your smartphone color choice reveals about you
Eight colors, eight personalities. Here’s how to pick.
Your phone color says more than you think. With the Pixel 11 series, Google’s giving you eight ways to make that statement, and there’s genuinely one for every kind of person.
Hibiscus
You’re never the quiet one in the room. Hibiscus doesn’t ask for attention; it just takes it, and if that sounds like you, you’re probably not planning to start hiding now. This is the pick for anyone who’d rather stand out than blend in.
Pistachio
You’re the one who remembers everyone’s coffee order. Pistachio is soft and easy; the one whom people gravitate toward without quite knowing why. It doesn’t try hard to be liked. It just is.
Frost
You like things a little too organized. Frost means clean lines and a clear head, the color equivalent of a camera roll with zero mess in it. If your notes app has color-coded folders, this one’s calling your name.
Obsidian
You let the work speak for itself. No flash needed, because when you show up, the room adjusts anyway. Obsidian is the classic choice, the one that’s never trying too hard because it doesn’t have to.
Canyon
You’re the one who suggests the sunset drive. Canyon is warm and a little restless, always chasing golden hour whether or not anyone else is up for it. Available on the Pro and Pro XL, it’s built for people who treat every evening like it might be a good one.
Olive
You’re outdoorsy, but you’ll still show up looking put together. Olive is low-key and grounded, the one who doesn’t try too hard because it’s already comfortable in its own skin. Another Pro and Pro XL exclusive.
Fog
You’re hard to read, and you like it that way. Fog is understated on purpose, a Pro and Pro XL colorway for anyone who’d rather keep people guessing.
So, which one’s you?
Eight colors, three phones, one very personal decision. Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL goes on sale starting August 20 — with Pistachio, Hibiscus, Frost, and Obsidian on the base model; and Canyon, Fog, Olive, and Obsidian on the Pro line.
Which one’s calling your name?
Today, Google launched three different flavors of the Pixel 11 series. If three levels of flatness aren’t enough, the series has a fourth option for you: a new and improved Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
Like the rest of the series, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is lighter than its predecessor. It’s almost 10 percent lighter and around 1mm thinner than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
For a foldable, it’s also Google’s most durable. The foldable has the new scratch-resistant Super Actua display, touting 3600nits of brightness. Plus, the rear has a new glass fiber composite back cover, which Google says is “nearly impossible to crack.” It also has IP68 dust and water resistance.
Inside, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with the new Tensor G6 chipset paired with 16GB of RAM.
For cameras, the foldable has the new 48-megapixel main sensor and a telephoto lens that touts up to 30x Super Zoom. The camera bar then comes in a smaller format on the top left corner of the rear.
Much like the regular phones, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with the new HiLight feature, a notification dot that lights up (and can be customized) whenever notifications pop up.
Finally, the foldable has faster wired charging, promising half of the battery’s capacity in only 30 minutes of charging time. It’s also 20 percent faster with 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging built inside.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes in two colorway options: Obsidian and Olive. It hits shelves in August 20.
