After the launch of the iPhone 15 Pro Max in September 2023, and the arrival of the Galaxy S24 at the end of January 2024, there were only two major manufacturers left to close the most dangerous attack front of the most recent season. We are obviously talking about Xiaomi with its Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and of course, HONOR with its HONOR Magic6 Pro.
All incredible devices, with the best technical specifications the industry has to offer. However, one of these devices has a weapon that the others cannot bring to the table. Your price!
HONOR has a weapon against Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi… The Price!
Therefore, almost at the same time that Xiaomi launched its new and renewed Ultra, which also seems to be a threat to the current duopoly in the smartphone world, HONOR announced its Magic6 Pro for the Global market, where of course we have to include our small but always ready to adopt new technologies, Portuguese market.
Having said all this, what is really interesting in all this is that in this fight for high-end devices, HONOR comes out ahead with a Magic6 Pro with the same processor, similar or even superior screen to the others, an incredible camera module, in a body that is extremely pleasing to the eye, for €1299.
Why is this important?
Well, in case you didn't know, all the other top of the range costs €1499 (S24 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max). Therefore, finding a smartphone as good, or arguably better, for less than €200… It is obviously good news, and it is even something that will most likely make the biggest enthusiasts in the Android world smile.
The market needs competition, and therefore, more manufacturers like HONOR.
Obviously, HONOR is still an unknown manufacturer for the vast majority of consumers. But, if there is a way to start doing something big, to steal market share, this is the best way to do it.
