- HONOR has launched the Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro phones.
- The Magic 6 Pro packs a 180MP 2.5x periscope camera.
- This is the highest-resolution periscope camera we’ve seen on a smartphone.
We’ve heard murmurings for a while now that HONOR could be working on crazy periscope camera technology. Now, the company has launched the HONOR Magic 6 series in China, and the Pro variant indeed looks like a beast of a camera phone.
The Magic 6 Pro’s standout feature is easily the 180MP 2.5x periscope camera (1/1.49-inch, f/2.6), with HONOR saying this camera covers focal lengths from 68mm to 270mm (~11x). The phone also sports 100x digital zoom, but HONOR’s own marketing material (seen below) suggests that these images will still look horrible.
