HONOR Magic5 Pro Review - 42 Days Later!

[@Techtablets]

Sorry, everyone. I missed the setting under wallpaper and home screen for "Apps drawer mode" So forget what I said about it not being there.

[@ultimateultra2419]

So what do you think about dxo mark's best camera system ever ranking? Is it the best camera ever or not so exceptional?

[@Andriushel]

60 min. charging with 66w 😂 Maybe 37W 🤣🤣 Samsung S23 Ultra has the same charging time for 5000 mah with 45W wich are in fact only 37W tops (measured with a Baseus charging cable with instant power display)

[@Techtablets]

I don't follow them but my top 3 (in no order) for stills & low light Mate 50 Pro, Oppo Find X6 Pro and Vivo X90 Pro+

[@Techtablets]

Yes bit slower than expected but I used the original cable and charger and that's what it was.

[@solas1183]

[@TheWertiup]

I think its one of the best valued flagships here in Malaysia. The 512+12GB model is priced at 4299MYR which translates to 900 Euros or 975 USD.

[@MikeDriving]

That's a really good price

[@NiKoJlaY]

Man that's awesome, in UK, last year Vivo x80 Pro , 256G / 8G it's 1,200 £ , almost 1500$ , for last year processor, ufs 3.1, 4700 mAh battery, so 975 $ for Honor Magic 5 Pro 512G/12G it's a bargain.

Zooming in on objects while shooting live videos, now that's a million dollars value! Whatever price they're asking for this honor phone it worth it because of the value the camera offer. Capturing still image of moving objects with the shutter mode is supreme and it value worth a million dollars. This channel review is very detailed and informative.

[@andyH_England]

Great to see Honor supporting the Europe market with a global release. Not all of us Android users want to spend the rest of our life with Samsung or the Pixel. This and Xiaomi give us further options. I wanted a global OPPO having the Find X5 Pro (great phone), but now either Xiaomi 13 Ultra or Honor Magic 5 Pro. Both match the S23U in what I need (not s-pen user), and Honor will be the value option (probably). I see no cons for me from this review so def shortlist.

[@Techtablets]

Well one I messed up as the apps drawer is there under wallpaper settings to enable it. But if it is around 950 GBP that's a fantastic price, I see the Xiaomi 13 Ultra being around 1500 euros here at least if the 13 Pro is 1400.

[@andyH_England]

@@Techtablets In the UK, prices of OPPO, Xiaomi and Honor seem to be better than the rest of Europe. I expect £1100 max and with the early bird price of £100 off (+free gift), it certainly will be competitive with S23U pre-order deals (£1250 now £1400 for 12GB). Last year the Find X5 Pro early bird was £950 with £350 of free gifts. Xiaomi 13 Pro had £100 early bird credit. Of course, you also get included charger and case with Honor. Yes, Xiaomi 13 Ultra UK price likely £1300 before discount(s).

[@82evene]

Honor sold the Magic5 pro during Black Friday Deals for 760Euro in the 12+512GB Version over here in Germany. Considering that its a close runner to S23ultra and Iphone 15max, which cost at least 1000-1500Euros, thats an amazing deal, not even considering the difference in GBs or what you get with the package.

[@Techtablets]

Very good deal yes.

[@leopoldomarinero8649]

bought mine second hand by 600€, 1 month usage with warranty and original box and accesories. hope I will receive it next monday. it seems a bargain to me for this price.

[@82evene]

@@leopoldomarinero8649 definitely!

[@NiKoJlaY]

Thank you for an amazing review! For me it's still interesting, why Honor decrease the capacity of fast charging, I mean last year in Magic 4 Pro was 100W wired charge , 100W for wireless charge and 4600 mAh battery, now is 66W wired, 50W for wireless when total capacity is 5100mAh. Maybe extra fast charge make the battery extra hot and like a result it destroys battery faster, or SNap 8 gen 2 it's much more hotter than Snap 8 gen 1. I know 66W wired charging it's still better than Samsung, Pixel and Apple, but it's worst than the same last year Honor Magic 4 Pro and I can't understand why. But at the same time it's interesting, If I'm gonna buy a last year wired and wireless charger from Honor Magic 4 Pro, it gonna charge my phone faster than charger that goes with the phone in the box, or no.

[@MarcYeoTechReview]

I brought this phone and Xiaomi 13 Pro during my trip to Japan last week. Both solid performer

[@bojidardimitrov4361]

Great review as always ! I just want to mention that the fingerprint reader is not ultrasonic but optical

[@Techtablets]

Oh correct yes, I was thinking in my Vivo X90 Pro

[@vasilistzinis8261]

At last the review is here! The charging time is a bit of a letdown honestly but not enough to damage the overall goodness of the phone, thank you Chris!

[@NiKoJlaY]

To be fair I don't think that long battery charging is a bad thing. There should be something that we're missing. Maybe after last year Honor Magic 4 Pro , where was 100W wired and wireless charging they analysed everything and decided that it's better less for the battery life in general. Apple , Pixel and Samsung use even worst 'fast charging' and they didn't give you any type of charger. If that fast charging technology is that safety and good for the phones, why Apple and Samsung don't make a 200W charger , and sell it separately from the box with 100$?! Maybe BBK and Xiaomi use that fast charging for the marketing because they don't have anything else to impress people and make them to buy their phones outside of China . I have now 1+7Pro , I use it almost 4 years, and for 2019 it has a really fast charge ( Wharp Charging 30 W), but after 2 years of using from 4000mAh only 3250 left (by AccuBattery test), when I check 3 years later it was around 2800 mAh left, now in general if I'm making pictures and using maps, it's run out of battery in 2-3 h. So maybe, after Honor decided to support their phone 3 years with Android Updates and 5 years with security patch updates, they decided to decrease the fast charge speed to save the life battery IDK, it's just my thoughts.

[@inline8220]

I have bought one based on comments and reviews, but comparing it with my old Xiaomi Mi 10t pro: the selfie camera is awful, both photo and video (when in call under slightly lower light conditions quality of the video is like on the middle range phones 10 years ago); main camera seems to make better images, but those are oversaturated/overcontrast and when zoom in contains much less details than mentioned Mi10t. Perhaps it's because of the lower amount of pixels, but even in pro mode with 50 mpx Honor could not deliver - just increasing the number of pixels, which has no actual effect on details. Also, photos are less clear from the main sensor under low light conditions. The photo editor is downgraded as well. New updates bring a Xiaomi-like control center, but you cannot open it by sliding on any place on the display, that is super uncomfortable. I feel like the display has a color tint towards green/blue. These are just disadvantages I notice in comparison with Mi10t pro. Of course, there are pros as mentioned like tele/UW sensors, 3D security, etc.

[@wiredspeaker5658]

Great review. The quick shutter speed is fantastic and 4k video up front is refreshing on a Chinese device. Seems like 65 watt charging should be around 35 minutes but all fast charging is not created equal. The Supervooc/Dart charging system from Realme (BBK) is on another level. They can do with an 80 watt transformer what others do with 120.

[@Techtablets]

Yeah I did a double take and of course used the original cable and charger I expected around 40 minutes. Not 60. Not sure why.

[@bb063075]

Just the review i need. Thank you. Not a heavy gamer ...a well rounded phone that would be a little future proof. 😊 Good front and main cam , ip68 rating flagship chipset , big battery., cheaper than the xiaomi 13 pro , s23 ultra for sure. Great comprehensive review

Been using alot of samsung and iphone. 4 years ago, started to give chinese phones a try and huawei P30 pro was the first one. Was gutted that they banned google on huawei. Never looked back on others now and always gave chinese smartphones company a chance. Very interesting as i watch the power shift from those complacent big guys who kept rising phone prices for no apparent reason IMHO. I supported samsung galaxy when they first launched. The company was hungry. They always gave the best. They were affordable. It isnt the case now. The future is on the chinese companies.

hi kenny, i have p30 pro too. now looking to upgrade. i read that there is no gsm on huawei but people commenting that it can be downloaded via gbox and gspace. torn between huawei p60 pro and honor magic 5 pro tbh. i want to stay loyal to huawei but honor looks good too. thoughts please?

How’s the ram management?

[@zila9650]

My honor magic 5 pro just received 2weeks ago .today the screen become white green same cases like ip 13 pro...so problem

[@Techtablets]

Faulty unit then? Get a replacement from them. RMA it.

[@KJEstefan]

What a great phone. Better than the other brands. Im surprised.

[@GOPANNGG]

LOVE HUAWEII PHONEZ MORE THAN ANY OTHER

[@Techtablets]

Huawei and Honor phones are great!

[@MrRobi10]

It has a few minuses compared to S23 Ultra: 1) Slow and rare updates; 2) Low resale value, nobody wants to buy it from you 3) Camera capabilities after 10x are really bad. Other than this, it's a beast phone compared to S23 Ultra.

[@oucmanh4552]

Hey i'm from Vietnam and i really want to buy this Honor magic 5 pro. How can i buy this smartphone.

[@ritchiebaxter627]

niight shots look great and sky looks how it should. I'm tired of these censors letting in to much light and horrible looking sky's. On a negative, the day time shots blown out with light. Eww. Still a lot of p40 pro in the phone lol. My p40 pro still kicking strong but no more updates for it 😐

[@EternalLight940]

Hey, do you know how this works in regards to play services ? Not too sure how to navigate around that , nor do I know where exactly to buy it but I definitely want one

[@Techtablets]

Comes with Google play installed no issues like a Samsung.

[@milanaleksic4639]

Super review! I have one question, what you think about that, is smartphone grab to neck DSLR, head to head?

[@Techtablets]

No DSLR is still better but they are getting close with what they can do with these small sensors

[@iqbalputra9139]

42 is a very specific number of days to use

[@aaronthiagarajan]

😂😂😂😂

[@Techtablets]

Just sounded better than one month later lol

[@aaronthiagarajan]

@@Techtablets techworld found a new number 42.

[@Techtablets]

@@aaronthiagarajan Yes! Well it was just to be different than the usual one-month later review.

[@donyxd3365]

@@Techtablets what do you think of the price? i saw in GSM that it costs 1200 EUR pixel 7 pro is way cheaper

[@JamesAbela]

Do you think this is a good replacement for my Huawei P30 pro? I gotta have something with proper Android.

[@Techtablets]

Yes I do, it's great phone.

[@nashpantheron]

Hi mate. Good & detailed review as always. Love it. I just wanna ask, on the latest Magic UI or even the latest Huawei's HarmonyOS, can we long-press/long-click on any apps icon, then can view options like 'apps information' to do force stop, clear cache etc? If u know what I am trying to ask... 😅

[@Techtablets]

No we can't do that. No apps info shows.

[@nashpantheron]

@@Techtablets wow. That's so surprising. I thought even after many years (since I last use Huawei Mate 20 X), the latest & new UI will get this features at least...wonder why Honor/Huawei didn't implemented it up until now...sometimes user need to do that to clear cache, force stop an apps quickly, rather than dive deep down into the apps setting section buried in the menu...

[@Granturion]

Can i pull down the notification panel like on any other android or is it still the dumb iPhone copy? 😁 Love the design and 3D unlock.

[@Techtablets]

Pull down there is a clip of it in this video.

[@titan5914]

No, you can't 😢

[@polanialmoni6274]

Hows the raw files ? Cant find any info online

[@Alina-phoenix]

Nice review! Could you tell is the weight of phone even? I mean does it trying to slip from hands because top part with camera is heavier than bottom part?

[@Techtablets]

No it's heavier towards to bottom of the phone due to the battery I think. With cold hands it's very slippery, I used the case when in Barcelona and it was cold.

[@user-zm4dc8fi6l]

which is the best phone in your opinion for interior photography?

[@spyox2215]

I read it had some Performance drops when getting hot. Did it bother you in your daily usage?

[@faizrasol12]

Anyone knows how to disable RAM Turbo I don't need that Extra ram when it's already 12 GB

[@peterklapko3182]

Which bluetooth codecs does support honor magic 5 pro? 🤔

[@eliotcfernandes]

There's no motion photos option available.

[@Albertonovski]

Finally a Huawei replacement

[@nabillarif]

i hate the two separate notification drawer its driving me mad...

[@carr16k]

I am using the honor magic 4 pro. Did honor mention why they lowered the charging speed for magic 5 pro from 100w to 66w?

[@Techtablets]

No mention of why no.

[@fmulleady]

@TechTablets you're living the life in Spain! I just sae the iPhone 15 Pro Max surge into second place on the dxomark smartphone rankings with a score of 154 just behind the Huawei P60 Pro on 156. What puzzles me is that the S23 Ultra only scores 140 which doesn't tally with my experience. The Magic 5 Pro scored 152. What's your take on dxomark?

[@Techtablets]

My take on them well from my own findings we often do align up. But as for the Apple yeah it's a lot better the 15 Pro Max this time around the camera .The P60 Pro is good yes best low light there is at the moment. Seen my camera comparison of all 3?

[@fmulleady]

@@Techtablets no, I'll take a look!

[@amranibrahimrashidi]

Sorry I will choose for the 3 bigger sensor that Oppo Find X6 Pro have...

[@Techtablets]

Nice, I find the Find X6 Pro is one of the best, mostly the main camera.

[@TPQ624]

This phone will bring Honor to be new Huawei definitely.

[@Techtablets]

Oh they are 100%

[@duck_dodgersX]

Is it good for a OLED display? Because I am between that and Xiaomi 13 pro, that has AMOLED...what should I buy?

[@zedrickepalma8323]

oled but very good display.
