• Battery capacity: 5600 mAh（HB566880EHW）

• 80W charger (not included)

• 6.8-inch, 1280 x 2800, 120 Hz, OLED display

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3（SM8650） (4 nm)

• Tested ROM / RAM combination: 512 GB + 12 GB

Pros

• Excellent indoor autonomy

• Great showing in video streaming, gaming, and idle screen on

• Overall low discharging currents in most of the indoor test cases

• Less than 1h 20 mins required to fully charge the battery with both wired and wireless charger

Cons

• Relatively short autonomy in idle screen off and music streaming Wi-Fi tests

• High residual power drain no matter the device is still plugged in or not

The Honor Magic6 Pro provided an excellent overall battery experience, with impressive improvements in autonomy and charging that pushed the flagship device into the top position of the Battery ranking, a rare feat for an ultra-premium smartphone.

Equipped with a large 5600 mAh battery, the Honor Magic6 Pro, offered more than 3 and a half days of autonomy under moderate usage. The device performed impressively in most individual test cases, including the idle screen-on, video streaming, gaming, and calling. However, idle screen off and music-streaming test cases under Wi-Fi conditions showed weaker performances.

The peak wired charging power supported by the Honor Magic6 Pro increased to 80W, allowing the device to be fully charged in 1 hour and   11 minutes. The maximum wireless charging power at 66W   was not far behind, providing a full charge in less than 1 hour 20 mins.   In our 5-minute quick charge test, the device was able to regain more than 7.5 hours of autonomy.

The Honor Magic6 Pro’s charge-up efficiency was 75%, which is somewhat less efficient when compared with other devices. The device demonstrated a relatively high residual power drain, whether it remained plugged in or not.   However, the device’s discharging currents were consistently low, except during periods of idle screen off and when streaming music over Wi-Fi, indicating the device was generally well-optimized.

The battery experience often presents a challenge for ultra-premium smartphones, which have to find the right balance between optimizing new power-demanding features and providing a satisfying user experience. The Honor Magic6 Pro clearly emerged as the frontrunner in this segment when compared to other devices, thanks to the outstanding battery life and fine-tuning that solidifies its user experience as the best so far.

• Honor Magic6 Pro battery model is HB566880EHW

• It adopts a single-cell dual-interface design, has a capacity of 5600mAh, uses ATL cells, and the second-generation Qinghai Lake battery. Through technological iterations of silicon-carbon negative electrode materials and cell processes, the battery energy density is further improved.
