Just for a test as I am also testing it right now (as you might've seen). Does the dynamic refresh rate save a lot of battery for you? I usually force it to 120Hz as RUclips and some other apps otherwise drop down to 60Hz for some reason. As for the cameras the zoom at 3.5x seems to be better than on the Magic 4 Ultimate. 10x however is a hit or miss. In daylight I think it is better but by a small margin only of improved processing and white balance. In lower light it looses to the higher MP sensor of the Magic 4 Ultimate. The fast shutterspeed option is nice but has a zoom limit. The video recording limit of 15 minutes is ridiculous for 2023. Log format in video can be edited on the phone which is fantastic. Overall a pretty good device by Honor even if I am a bit sad they downgraded the charging speed. That one is still insane wired or wireless on the Magic 4 Ultimate
Alot of phone for the money, especially with a good charger, cable and case in the box. Thanks for another great review and I look forward to your camera review.
Great video just wanted your opinion please. Ive got a Pixel 7 pro, get bored of the same phone, is it worth me upgrading if don't mind the cost? Cameras are important to me thanks
i say, that this HONOR 5 magic PRO will be the next step to the top for the brand. lots of features and power(GB) for peanuts, in comparison to the galaxy or apple phones. but flagships killer idk tbh. greetings from rainy hamburg.
What's the video you used at 2:52? I want to see what it looks like on my S23 Ultra. I'm able to return it (as I just bought it) and buy the Magic5 Pro, but I'm stuck wondering which is the better phone, price difference is negligible, since I got the S23 ultra discounted, so it's just about which phone is better tbh.
i just returned mine. (which had a 5450mAh battery as well). Sadly, mine is the Chinese version which does not support Google GMS installation nor re rooting, thought i could overcome that but still not😢
@@hassanadams1716 I didnt want to risk bricking the phone trying to reroot it. Theres no other way to use Google Services, opted for Xiaomi 13 Pro, which im happy with so far.
Really like the way of your vids. If it was for wich smartphone or iPhone would you choose with photo and video as first criteria (shooting moving bouncy kids sometimes on bad lights😊). I'd like to print some of the pics. Thks!!!
Hello brother, which one has better photography, better video recording in the main and selfie camera Oppo reno 8 pro Vivo s16 Realme GT2 pro OnePlus Ace (10R) Xiaomi 12 I live in Iran, these phones are under 500 dollars, In your opinion, which one is better should I choose to buy?
..the phone is NOT available as of now, please when you making your video ready make sure what is AVAILABLE and what is not - HONOR claims mid april but no details or specifics has been pass on when i spoke with them..
@WhatGear ..thanks, they weren't specific to me either, also no mobile providers distribution was acknowledged as well, to me it looks like a part of a bigger picture - for instance no oppo find x6 series for UK, xiaomi 13 lineup only via their website, o2 is getting last year Redmi 12 with android 12 advertised as S to cover it up a little bit.. greetings bro!
Who cares about the f*cking camera these days? Literally no one uses these damn things to do anything worthwhile, I think I met one guy who genuinely uses the cameras on his phones professional but other than that, I rather hear about the excellent speakers, the Desktop Mode and haptic feedback and its integration into the system UI.
Great for the Chinese. Not great for the US or Uk. Some of these Chinese phones are really great with one HUGE caveat. They're made for the Chinese market with Chinese bands. Yes, they can still work in the US or Uk but you will more than likely have spotty coverage if you travel regularly and many times even if you don't. I love what the Chinese brands Huawei, Xiaomi, Honor etc are manufacturing. I don't love that they are somewhat "handicapped" in the Western Market. I've tried them, and now I stay away from them.
ruclips.net/video/X-N9VBFtnTs/видео.html you can see that there are fingerprints on the lenses, I also have the phone for a couple of days and it seems it is really uncomfortable to hold, because the camera bump is large and extends quite a lot downwards, during normal usage I feel it will topple over, or you will extend you finger over the camera module. Hope I just needs an accommodation period.
If you want to check out the latest price. Here's the link : bit.ly/41mO7Y2
Just bought it second hand for €700, really looking forward to trying out the camera!
Probably this is the best phone for the price in UK at the moment.
The only reviewer so far, that show air gestures on Honor! Cheers!!

Honestly the battery life, update life span and a charger in the box is a big yes for me. Looking sadly at my pixel 6 😢.

Thanks for showing the speakers comparison.
No probs
A real competitor for flagship category. Great video mate✌️

What better honor vs op11 vs s23+?
I’ve bought this phone based on DXOmark ratings
Honestly. This phone is beyond dope 🔥🔥🔥. I ma get it

Why did you return it?

Very nice phone. I m using it since one year now
I love this color
it reminds me the display design of huawei p40 pros and the placement of pill shape cut out camera
Is there a lens flare issue? I mean some people are talking about a rainbow effect while taking pictures or recording videos at direct sunlight
That’s usually caused be Lens coatings
Hello brother, which one has better photography, better video recording in the main and selfie camera
Oppo reno 8 pro
Vivo s16
Realme GT2 pro
OnePlus Ace (10R)
Xiaomi 12
I live in Iran, these phones are under 500 dollars,
In your opinion, which one is better should I choose to buy?
Do it against the Mate 50 Pro or the Oppo Find X6 Pro. Be nice to see some sibling rivalry.

I’m told that they released it in the UK this week…am I wrong?

greetings bro!
Already released in Malaysia even carrier available.
@@chuahhockleong9916 aye,
me reference was regarding uk,
any feedback is welcome and highly appreciated..
@@ZbyszekMichalicki ya I get it. Just said that Malaysia got it already. So UK won't be long.
Is it the best possible option to buy now the phone for 780€?? What do u think guys?? Up to this amount of money its the right choice??
Can you use the face ID for banking apps, etc? Or just to unlock the phone? Thanks
yes
@@shoewrapper1692 yes you can use it for banking apps or yes it's just to unlock the phone?
Maybe a camera comparison vs s23ultra?
also is the fingerprint ultrasonic
Optical
Optical but definitely faster than last years
Magic OS desktop experience is 🔥
can you test filmic plus on it and can you do custom AOD
I'll have to look into that. I've never really tried Filmic Pro before
AOD can be customized
@@lltechview thanks
Does it also happen to you that when you shake the Honor Magic5 Pro device something sounds inside?
This is normal, it's the lens shaking about due to optical image stabilastion system.
Nice batman wallpaper, where can we get the same
Whatgear.net/wallpapers
We shall see...
Love what DXO-MARK is doing💙
Where can one buy it in the UK?
It's available direct from their website bit.ly/41mO7Y2
Can't get it in the U.S
Worth switching to it from the s23 u?
No, i do not trust dxo mark, it's a paid platform.
Outer space isn't real.

Agree with the Chinese variant. There is a global version of this phone which works great on the Canadian Networks and google play out of box.
I was impressed until the shallow depth of field reared its ugly head.
Chinease phone.
Laughable
Why do you say that?
WOW! 5100mAh Can you believe it?! OMGF OMGF

It's an incredible device brother. "Be who you pretend to be". Deep!
