Honor launches the first of the all-new Magic 6 Series: The £350 Magic 6 Lite

The entry-level Magic 6 Lite model still comes with a pretty impressive spec, especially those who want the combination of a large, colourful, display, good camera, and multi-day battery life.

Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 gen 1 SoC, with Wi-Fi 5, a 6.78-inch AMOLED curved display, and three cameras (the primary being 108-megapixels and offering 3x zoom), the Magic 6 Lite is boosted by the massive 5,300mAh battery so you’ll likely get a minimum of two days between charges.

The Magic 6 Lite will be available in a choice of three colours (black – pictured right, green, and orange), and will retail for £349.99 – including a free Honor Pad X8 tablet worth £99.99 while stocks last.

There’s also 12-months of free screen protection cover included, although with its Anti-Drop technology that rates the device as safe even when dropped from a height of 1.5 metres, you hopefully will never need to call upon it.
