Buying advice for Algeria
Both Honor Magic6 Pro and Honor Magic8 Pro Air are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Honor Magic6 Pro is 43% cheaper at 110,000 DZD versus 191,760 DZD for the Honor Magic8 Pro Air, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.
Honor Magic6 Pro packs a 5600 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.
Honor Magic8 Pro Air posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.
Honor Magic6 Pro reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 180 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
