The bundled offer of the Honor Magic 6 Lite and the Honor Pad X8 stands as an appealing option for budget-conscious buyers seeking a smartphone-tablet combo without breaking the £350 mark.
Honor introduces the sleek mid-range Magic 6 Lite, pairing the modern Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 with a substantial 5,300 mAh battery, a swift 120 Hz AMOLED display, and a sharp 108-megapixel f/1.75 main camera.
Succeeding the Magic5 Lite (approx. £200 on Amazon), this model retains a contemporary design while undergoing notable upgrades, notably with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 replacing the previous Snapdragon 695 5G chipset.
Equipped with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash storage, this device houses a central 16-megapixel f/2.45 selfie camera. The main camera elevates to a 108 MP sensor with a slightly brighter f/1.75 lens. However, it’s supplemented with a mere 5 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a less useful 2 MP sensor. Users can shoot videos in 4K resolution.
The battery capacity expands to 5,300 mAh, supporting up to 35-watt charging through USB-C. Featuring a 6.78-inch, 120 Hz AMOLED display with a 2,652 x 1,200-pixel resolution, it boasts a full DCI-P3 color space, although specific brightness details are undisclosed. The device integrates a fingerprint sensor, and NFC, and operates on MagicOS 7.2 based on Android 13.
