Got this phone about 2 weeks ago, got to say it blow me away. Best flagship I had, taking into account tech improvement year by year. I also got an early bird bundle - £80 off (£869.99 all in inc. delivery) + top quality case + 100w capable wireless charger + Honor earbuds 3 pro (which are epic) and 6 month screen repair insurance!! I know😮. BTW I don't work for Honor lol. Also love your reviews Nick, great work.
Finally a worthy replacement for my Huawei p30 pro. Especially, since I just found out it can use the NFC function to share screen drop photos and vids with my Huawei laptop and other devices on the Super device function!
You don't know how much i needed your comment 😂 i have a P30 Pro and thinking of getting Honor Magic5 Pro but was also not sure about sharing wirh my eco Huawei laptop.. How is the phone doing? Worth the upgrade? Did you manage to move your memory/settings from P30 to Magic5 pro? Thanks!
This is absolutely insane! That's the best portrait (or bokeh) video I've ever seen! Wish it was 4K/30, though. It would've been even better. Great review as always!
I was thinking of purchasing a Xiaomi 13 Pro but was reluctant to pay the 1100 Euro asking price here in Thailand. Having come across this review, I'm thinking I'm going to give Honor a shot. At 800 Euros in Thailand, this is unbeatable value!
@@lorenzocannizzaro6567 its the quality of the digital zoom. Punching in digitally 10x is about the max you can go before the image looks completely terrible. Cropping in nearly 30x is just bad. Even at 30x zoom the quality was terrible
How come I never got to know about this phone?? It's fantastic in every aspect. It even beats the iphone 15 pro Max at the battery drain test. Who would want to use an iPhone after this??
I'm getting the Honour Magic 5 Pro for £531.99 that's £100 off honor voucher + 8% (£68) off buying through First Xclusives and selling my S20 ultra with charger and cases for £250 .. and getting £500 of free gifts on top from Honor earphones wireless charger extra case and screen protector .. I looked at the S23 ultra and I do not want it will never use the pen and costs too much
Atm probably you are the best youtuber on smartphones for me. For years I watching the "famous" youtubers but when I saw your reviews on these phones, I understood the massive difference. The comparison was hilarious against them and you should feel proud for your work. Also I enjoy much your "camera" reviews and not change nothing. ULTA detailed and pleasand to the eye and ear. Hope soon you will be more famous. Also waiting more reviews from you like "Huawei Mate 60 pro" etc.
Wow! I am happy to have found this channel. It is teaching me a lot regarding flagship phones. I can see Chinese phone companies have stepped up their game. That's good because no more making poor-quality Chinese phones.
And save eyes technology.This company think about the people's health. Not like samsung they only thinks about profit. s23 ultra amoled x2 blabla shit display with 240hz pwm that burns the people's eyes! Everybody should stay away from this phone!
Love your videos.Was curious if you had to chose between this, Pixel 7 Pro, S23 Ultra or P60 Pro what would be your all purpose smartphone camera? Thanks in advance
i had honor 7x 2016 model and Huawei view 20 and i love them. I didn't suggest P60 pro because lack of GMS and 5G. I would have suggested Magic 5 pro if he mentioned it :)
Your content is seriously paralleled by no tech youtuber, your videos have everything a tech video needs to have, Unboxing, comparison, and real tech content, love you and have a great year. ❤
I have a question/problem with my Honor Magic 5 Pro - bluetooth sound on earbuds musz weeker/quieter on my Huawei Freebuds 2 PRO and Soundcore Liberty 3 PRO compered with on other phones! Any idea how to solve this problem?? Thanks
The 3D face unlock along with the high PWM frequency make this a dream phone. All the other specs as the flagship soc, display quality, cameras, storage etc. are just an icing on the cake. I only wish I found out about this phone sooner, since I had to get rid of my S23U due to it's low PWM frequency.
1000 nits wasn't peak brightness of magic 4 pro, it was it's typical brightness. Magic 5 pro's typical brightness is around 1300 nits so difference isn't that big.
Probably a matter of taste, but coming from OxygenOS, to me MagicOS is mostly a step down. I get random device locks (lock screen kicks in), a fair share of bloatware (okay) and HONOR OS-integrated crapware (not okay) like H. SHARE, H. CONNECT, H. ID, YOYO, none of which add functionality or can be hidden 🤢 to make matters worse, the Magic5 Pro for some reason has raised little to no interest in the XDA community (despite superb hardware) so little rooting/ROM support so far :/
I recently bought one of these after a pixel 7, S22 ultra and 13 pro max. My favourite phone I've ever had is the Huawei Mate 20 pro. The Honor Magic 5 pro gets the closest. Obviously the Magic 5 Pro is much better but at the time the Mate 20 Pro was so far ahead. The Honor feels quite far ahead.
love the content its cool to see our further upgrade paths, since you back in RSA maybe consider teaming out with our networks to share phones that they will also provide, some global variants don't hit our shores
For the front facing camera or rear? Front because people are anal about pill shape or punch out holes on the screen. Although so many put up with much worse on the iphone so...
