Thanks for review, I'm really interested to buy one Magic 5 Pro to replace my respectable P30PRO 8/256. This Honor is a beautiful phone, with excellent specs, looks like P40Pro with Google services and is exactly what I was looking for!
I owned Nova 5T and change to Magic 4 pro it was great, and now i changed to Magic 5 and believe me camera performance is CRAAAAZY GOOD even the phone in general and im actually very shocked from the battery life, definitely changing from Huawei to Honor is great step
Dont hesitate, it is actually a great phone. I have quite high standards usually when i am choosing a phone, but i have to say i am very satisfed with it😊
I've been using the phone for a week now, and I have to say I am pretty impressed with it! The sound is not bad with the double speaker, actually way better than here in the video.😊 Thanks for the video, i do agree with basically everything
I experienced the rattling sound already on the P30 Pro. You can actually see the motion of the main lens when you open the camera app and switch from the main/wide/periscope. The periscope lens also moves when switching between zoom levels.
Not a bad review, I'm from Ireland but on holiday in Hong Kong and was able to get this phone for 784e in Mong Kok, yes it's the 512 storage version and it has the UK plug! 😊 It's replacing my 1+10 pro which the battery was truly average, i wasn't getting a full day on holiday, the battery on the Honor Magic is superb. Charging is fine and I love the cameras, the cameras are all superb and similar unlike the 1+10pro which were so diff so you got different colour tones in similar pics. I was able to get the meadow green edition and it's super sexy. I've also noticed the difference in speed using apps and surfing compared to the 1+10 pro.
Loved your review and how honest it was. This is my first Honor im using and pretty much agree with everything you said. Im really pleased with it overall.
@@everstar8056 in my opinion yes, it's a solid device. I've tested quite a few phones over the last few years and this one I'm finally making the switch for. Just the screen itself is beautiful one of the best I've seen so any general browsing, viewing videos, reading etc is just a pleasure to do on it. If you have any specific questions please let me know.
Do you use a glass sheet on the screen or without protection? In case of using the glass sheet, the quality of the screen decreases in your opinion? thank you
@@MichaelElsegoodI’ve also noticed this being a thing it happened on my s22 ultra and other devices it’s only my 13 pro max that still has it but very reduced
I have an old Samsung S21+ and it rattles the same. I also had a few other phones to test already who had the same "issue", its completely normal...@@MichaelElsegood
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.
The only issue with this phone as a flagship. It does not offer any good cases like brands like spigen or otterbox. Mean it would become unprotected. The only cases on offer are from eBay and Amazon, with limited protection. Any honor 5 pro owners with any cases that have worked for them
3:24 Does anyone know if this is feature can be turned off in something like developer settings? I remember having a Huawei P30 Pro a few years ago and one of the annoying things about it was the screen brightness changing in specific apps despite the auto brightness function being turned off!
8:10 did you check frequency while on RUclips? It might have dropped to 60 Hz. Hapenned to me on s23u, it turns out it was due to aggressive battery saving algorithm.
If u r in china then its okay, otherwise buy some flagship which has better camera and globally serviceable and has Google support and proper android. Like vivo x90 series kind of
As far as I have seen these 5g tests with the other flagship phones, then yes, it has the best 5g signal. It's because of the upgraded antenna, which you can see on the Honor page to view the phone.
Well, I would happily recommend this phone to anyone who needs an upgrade, but seeing as the S23 Ultra is brand new released only this year I don’t really see the point in switching.
Hey man please ship me that one as a top fan gift, Honor is my favourite smartphone brand and the magic 5 pro is their best phone yet. I'd buy it if I could afford but I'm moneyless...

@casualplayer7743 how performance and camera on regular magic 5 ? Good or excellent ?

Any new experiences? Can't decide between the magic 5 Pro and s23 ultra :D
@@davidjks which one have you chosen?
@@chrisw4215 iPhone 15 plus, mainly cuz of security and privacy reasons
Yeah, Apple are way better at protecting privacy and data collection.

Did you notice the auto brightness feature at 3:24? I'd consider this phone if it was something that wasn't there
Also curious to hear if the brightness issue is an actual issue...
dude what a nice content quality you bring to us, idk why this an under 200k youtube channel

@@AmzMusic11 como se comporta el teléfono al jugar?
Se calienta poco? Normal? O demasiado?
@@papeadorSupremo No he jugado ningún juego, pero he tomado muchas fotos y videos. El teléfono se ha mantenido fresco, así que estoy contento con él.

Looks stunning! The phone looks a lot better in video than a photo
The sound my honor phone makes when I shake it is literally the Nintendo switch select sound- it’s so quiet but yours is loud asf
The rattle happens on every phone with optical stabilization in my experiece...
I’ve tested a lot of high end phones and they don’t rattle like this! For sure, this is quite a more pronounced sound.
@@MichaelElsegoodhappens on my iPhone 14 pro too
@@MichaelElsegoodI’ve also noticed this being a thing it happened on my s22 ultra and other devices it’s only my 13 pro max that still has it but very reduced
exactly, i had this rattle on literally every phone with ois

Get in!! You’re right, the green is way nicer

Can you share which leather are you using ?
@@ozzieblackcherry0707 absolutely
I'm using real leather
really nice review as always
My s21 ultra has a rattling sound too because of the Optical stabilization of the camera lenses, the sound will be gone when you open the camera app.🙂

Mean it would become unprotected.

aliexpress m8 you can get even better cases than spigen or otter, because they are made in same china
Just got this for 850sgd. Insane deal.
Great video! Really enjoyed it!! Kinda want to try the phone myself 😀👍👍👍

That rattle is literally on all the phones with ois , its not new
Honestly, I’ve reviewed a lot of phones and haven’t noticed it being that sensitive to movement.
They do. Maybe you shaked it from left to right. On my Galaxy you have to shake it back and forth, to recognize it...@@MichaelElsegood
I love the shots on the lilo haha
Excellent review
I'm going to buy the black one 😊
is that smartphone heavy? s23 ultra is too heavy for me. would you recommend it?
have you tried the desktop mode? how does it compare to Samsung Dex?
Acc
Brother plz done vivo x90 pro plus review and compare with magic 5 pro. thank you❤
how do i remap the side button from Google Assistant to Power options?
There is an update to fix the camera app.
Does it happen with every new flagship phone with the lag issue when opening apps? Or it's is with only Honor ones?
Which bluetooth codecs does support honor magic 5 pro? 🤔
What networks does this phone work with in USA? Thanks
How’s the temperature during games? Also how many years can it support Os and security updates?
Honor says 3 android updates and 5 years of security updates
My xz premium also rattles as well as my a53 so i think it's normal
where can I find the wallpapers u r using
8:10 did you check frequency while on RUclips? It might have dropped to 60 Hz. Hapenned to me on s23u, it turns out it was due to aggressive battery saving algorithm.
What network in America does this phone run best on?
Peccato per l'impercepibile vibrazione... E la luminosità dello schermo che, al surriscaldamento del dispositivo, non si alza più
I m planning to buy this.What is your opinion?
If u r in china then its okay, otherwise buy some flagship which has better camera and globally serviceable and has Google support and proper android. Like vivo x90 series kind of
@@devanshanil2468this phone does have a global release I'm using the global version in UK all of Google services supported out of the box.
@@AmzMusic11 Yup, you got that right bro.
What about makro?
In Europe price is 1199 eura...
What's the camera sensors on honor?
what city were the photos taken in?
If only they didn't overdid the curve like sd23u i would buy it immediately
I personally found it appealing for my eyes when watching context.
Honor magic 5 pro vs s23+?what buy?
I have same dilema what did you get
Good honor
It has the best strongest 5g signal .
The question is it true?
Can anybody help me with the question?....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have no idea how this would be accurately tested in every country with every device. So I would not take these claims seriously.
@@MichaelElsegood tq
As far as I have seen these 5g tests with the other flagship phones, then yes, it has the best 5g signal. It's because of the upgraded antenna, which you can see on the Honor page to view the phone.
skeptical on honor promises in firmware/os upgrade or security upgrade.
honor 70 same scroll youtube lag
Great review. Is it worth the 250£ extra over a Oneplus 11? and are you getting monthly updates? Cheers!
No not monthly :D
Can run gsm on Chinese version?
No
I like the wallpaper please send me one
Glad it’s cruising on waters 😅
Im due to buy a new phone. Its either this, oneplus 11 or redmagic 8s pro
OnePlus 12 is coming out. Not sure if there is a big price increase cos it looks like a proper flagship. 11 is still a great choice
Worth switching to it from the s23 ultra?
Well, I would happily recommend this phone to anyone who needs an upgrade, but seeing as the S23 Ultra is brand new released only this year I don’t really see the point in switching.
❤❤❤🔥🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩💓💓💞
The selfie camera only has 4k 30fps not 60
Well it's already very good, not many flagship have 4k video on the selfie camera
Agreed. Chinese phones mostly cap at 1080 for some reason.
Thats true also copying data from pc to this phone should be a breeze with usb 3.0 unlike other androids which still have usb 2.0
OnePlus 11 👎👎👎
She need to eat 🍗🍖🥩🥓
