Hello, tech enthusiasts! ? If you've made it here, it's probably because you're the lucky owner of an Honor Magic 6 Pro or you're thinking of getting one. And of course, one of the aspects we look at most in a smartphone these days is its camera. The Magic 6 Pro is not just a phone; it's practically a professional pocket camera. At iLevante.com, we are not only passionate about technology but also want to provide you with all the information you need to understand it and, if necessary, know how to repair it.
In this article, we?re going to break down the incredible camera system of the Honor Magic 6 Pro, tell you what makes it so special, and most importantly for the brave DIYers, explain how to identify a problem and what you need to replace a camera module if it starts to fail. Let?s dive in!
Honor has named its camera system the "Falcon Camera System", and for good reason. It's a statement of intent: speed, precision, and massive power. This system consists of not just one but several cameras working in perfect harmony to deliver spectacular results in almost any lighting condition. From a main sensor with an aperture that adapts like the iris of a human eye to a telephoto lens that brings you close to the action as if you were in the front row. But what components make up this technological puzzle?
To give you a clear overview, we've prepared this table with the features of each camera and, of course, links to spare parts that you?ll find in our iLevante.com store. That way, if you have a problem, you?ll know exactly what part you need.

Now that you have the raw data, let?s explain what it all means. Because megapixels aren?t everything, right?
This is the crown jewel. The main sensor, known as Falcon H9000, is quite large (1/1.3 inches), allowing it to capture a lot of light. But its standout feature is the variable aperture (f/1.4 - f/2.0). What does this mean? In automatic mode, the phone decides how much light enters the sensor, opening the diaphragm to f/1.4 in dark conditions (for brighter photos with less noise) and closing it to f/2.0 in daylight (to make everything in the photo, from foreground to background, sharper). This, along with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), translates into incredibly detailed and stable photos, day and night. ?
This camera is the Swiss Army knife of the system. Its 50MP and 122° field of view are perfect for landscape photos, architecture, or fitting the whole group of friends into the shot without any acrobatics. But it also has macro capabilities, allowing you to focus as close as 2.5 cm. You?ll be able to capture the tiniest details of a flower, an insect, or the texture of fabric with astonishing quality. It?s a 2-in-1 camera that gives you incredible versatility.
This is where Honor has broken the mold. 180 megapixels! ? This isn?t just a number for marketing; it?s an engineering feat. It uses a technique called pixel binning to group pixels and produce a final image of extremely high quality. The 2.5x optical zoom brings you closer to the action without losing any quality. From there, digital zoom comes into play, which, thanks to the sensor's enormous resolution, can go up to 100x, offering results that were unthinkable in a mobile phone until recently. Ideal for concerts, sports events, or photographing the moon. ?
For selfie lovers, Honor has spared no expense. A 50MP front camera ensures highly detailed self-portraits. But the interesting part is its companion: a 3D ToF (Time of Flight) sensor. This sensor maps your face in three dimensions, enabling much more secure facial unlocking (on par with Apple?s Face ID) and a portrait mode with a much more precise and natural background blur (bokeh effect), as it perfectly understands the distance between you and what?s behind you.
