The Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ topped DxOMark’s ultra-premium smartphone camera rankings last week alongside the Oppo Find X7 Ultra as the best camera phone. However, the Honor Magic 6 Pro, which was launched in the global market late last month, has now overtaken both of these phones to take the top spot as DXOmark’s best camera phone in the ultra-premium category. Let’s take a closer look at the phone’s camera specifications and DXOmark test results.
Honor Magic 6 Pro takes first place in DxOMark’s ultra-premium smartphone camera ranking
The Honor Magic 6 Pro comes with a triple camera setup. It features a 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch primary sensor, which supports 24mm focal length, f/1.4-f/2.0 automatic variable aperture, autofocus and optical image stabilization (OIS). The main camera also includes a 50-megapixel ultra-wide 1/2.88-inch sensor with 13mm equivalent f/2.0 aperture lens and autofocus and a 180-megapixel 1/1.4-inch telephoto camera with 68mm equivalent f/2.6 aperture lens, autofocus and OIS. offers
According to DXOmark’s test results, the Honor Magic 6 Pro showed excellent results in all tests, achieving an overall score of 158. For photos, the device scored the same highest score of 160 points as the Huawei Mate 60 Pro Plus. Even in scenes with challenging backlights, it is able to reproduce excellent colors while delivering excellent dynamic range. The autofocus system of the Honor handset is one of its major positives, as it works quickly and accurately in all situations.
The zoom capability of Honor Magic 6 Pro has also been highly appreciated by the reviewers. It even sets a new standard, especially with the ultra-wide and video zoom features. The exposure and colors of the ultra-wide camera were also of high quality, and the telephoto lens was able to capture images with fine detail even from a distance, although some details remained slightly missing.
The video recording capability with HDR on the Honor Magic 6 Pro has shown excellence in color rendering with accurate colors and white balance in various lighting conditions. However, the Magic 6 Pro can’t quite match the iPhone 15 Pro Max when it comes to exposure control, stabilization and autofocus reliability. But the color quality is pretty impressive, and it manages to strike a pretty good balance between texture and noise reduction. However, the Honor Magic 6 Pro’s camera faces some issues with low-light exposure stability and clarity. But overall, Honor’s latest flagship has passed all the tests very well and won the title of the best camera phone according to DXOmark.
