HONOR Magic5 Pro Review: YOUR Next Smartphone!

[@zechariahdln9558]

Honor continuing Huawei's legacy 🔥

[@michaeladabo2719]

Yes

[@josephsullivan3216]

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.

[@MrIbrahim25]

How's the notifications especially on Gmail?, saw on some forums mentioning there's some delay and stuff.

[@noorur]

Does 5G work on this in the UK ?

[@katrina6927]

hi, does it support google service?

[@kbtriplesix]

it literally shows that in the video@@katrina6927

[@mikep6377]

Software is pretty shitty, that's why a lot of people still buy samsung

Been reviewing this phone for more than a month already. Really worth buying. Especially the price in Malaysia so attractive. Nice video mate

Definitely. Go get it mate 🤭

[@breakingthewall2112]

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!

[@radhizaben3438]

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!

[@carr16k]

The pill shape notch actually makes this phone looks more premium than those with a hole punch in my opinion.

[@honeybadger2687]

looks very techy

[@derekworld2002]

The pill shape = flagship

[@modestman6753]

😂

[@Diablo22967]

Yeah. I honestly don't know what the whole hubbub is about. You want the best security, yet Don't want a pill for that...

[@asdolin42]

yuk, pill shaped notch is an instant deal breaker, hell even a normal puch hole bothers me, that's why the redmagic 8 pro is so tempting.

[@wuforever]

Magic OS desktop experience is 🔥

[@czkmeister]

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.

[@imbukwa]

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.

[@bojidardimitrov4361]

Nice review! Just one correction 😀 the fingerprint is not ultrasonic but optical

[@Daniel-or6qp]

Reminds me of the oppo find X6 pro, I do love my 3d face scanner ❤️.

[@Ashlord]

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!

[@salted.caramel]

very well priced in malaysia, same price as iphone 14 512gb!

[@bfdia51]

A 3.5 times zoom shouldn't go past 30x zoom. If companies want 100x zoom they should bare minimum have a 10x optical zoom

[@lorenzocannizzaro6567]

What's the problem of having something more? I don't want to be limited like on the iPhone

[@bfdia51]

@@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

[@portraitonetelo1897]

Please include in your future phone reviews stats on sim tray for example, duel sim, single sim, sd card option etc. Tks.

[@wheczshmatovich]

This is the way. All phones should be reviewed. My thanks!

[@ayushmaansharma2145]

I am always in love with their pill shaped notch 🎉🎉😊

[@69ThShinigami]

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

[@johncaban4310]

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

[@Kaka-hy8gf]

I would go with pixel

[@marctabberner7257]

I have mate 50 pro and magic 5 pro and I hear P60 pro is even better than them

[@titan5914]

Pixel 7pro has dramatic battery drain compare to competitors. Huawei do not have google services and based on old 8 gen 1 plus

[@Kaka-hy8gf]

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 :)

[@andyashmead5000]

Would you suggest to get this over the s23 ultra or is the s23 ultra better

[@MunasibHuseynov1]

[@AmanChabukswar]

it never going to launch in India. 😩 it looks so beautiful

[@IN64I]

You were right it is my new phone :D

[@mrekoj]

can anyone confirm that you need to swipe down from the top bar to show notfiications instead of swiping down from the screen ?

[@TheDavidSour]

Yes, but you can change it with novalauncher.

[@dzodzo6717]

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.

[@alexdenton6586]

This phone is impressively fast. I used to have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and returned it for this Honor Magic5 Pro, and I'm not disappointed. I bought it based on its DXOMark rating, and the photo and video quality are much better than the Samsung. It's also super smooth, and I love Honor's custom UI-it's clear and has everything you need. The only downside for me is the ergonomics; there's a noticeable camera bump, making the phone top-heavy, and I find it too thin. A nice leather case solved the issue for me, but it's something to be aware of. In summary, go for it, especially since it's cheaper than the Samsung.

[@mikep6377]

OneUi is 100 times better than magicOS mate...im not that sure you made the right choice...

[@Abror.Akromov]

What's all this about no notifications showing up when you pull down from the top of the screen like some other reviewers have said about

[@alexkyun1365]

Does the camera app come with a feature that lets you remove unwanted objects in the background? Please comment if you know something about it.

Inflation and global distribution plus wage increases ect the short answer is yes and will be getting much worse

Hi nick, can you test silicon carbon battery life on china set?

It has about 6.8% bigger battery so it's battery life should be about 6.8% longer, because these are the same devices so their baterry optimisation should be the same.

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...

I will just say @technick that your content is great, but work on your resolution abit as watch your content on smaller tv's is hard

[@andyH_England]

This video is 4K/60FPS so not sure what else he can do? Maybe it is your TV resolution that sucks, or am I missing something?

[@DaBrown101]

Most of the time, if you watch the video as soon as it's released, the 4k won't be available right away. Will need to wait a couple of hours for the 4k to be available

[@enrickpidjot6838]

​@@andyH_England maybe he's talking about the fact that on a smaller television it will cramp in the image. this is what happens with my television. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Nah, its not gonna be my next smartphone, because 1. It looks ugly (back and front camera) 2. its not top 1 overall in photo and video 3. It's expensive for "no-name" brand (I know its under Huawei, but anyways comparing to Samsung or Iphone...). But thanks for your review. Just wish you compare it to the real top phones.

[@mariola6182]

@@lozanzana8327 I got it for the same price as the OP11 and got a watch too. It's the 12/512GB version. And the camera is way better than OP11. Charging could be faster indeed, but the battery also lasts longer than OP11 (it was tested by a KZbinr).

[@contrast-ratio]

Higher wattage doesn't necessarily mean faster charging, its how well its optimised for the device and if it can sustain that wattage more steadily instead of fluctuating up and down. I'm here on s21 ultra using 25w fast charger and probably takes a hour to 100% that's good enough for me. It all depends if you're a heavy user or not

[@harryvlogs7833]
