I sold my Google Pixel 7 Pro because it had poor battery life, overheated, and had a network problem. So now I have the Magic 5 Pro which has an excellent screen, camera battery, and has no heating issues.
I've been tempted to get this device. How's your long term experience?
I have a Google pixel 7 pro, I don't have these issues.
I am having goosebumps everytime Will says "these are the some of the best you can get out of a phone"
😅
I had not much expectation about honor magic 5 but after living with it for just one week I can only say Wow. The phone is simply amazing - not just the camera but also display, battery, storage etc...
Took the plunge and just received my HM5 Pro. This phone is amazing. Switched to Nova Launcher because I wasn't feeling the original OS. I challenge anyone to go back to a GS23 Ultra or a 14 Pro after just holding this. The magic is in the display and in hand feel. Huaw er Honor is officially back. This is your favorite phone's favorite phone.
Question! Does using Nova launcher impact the refresh rate? I had the HM4 pro, and it was really choppy with Google News feed and general browsing through the app drawer. Using the Honor OS was way smoother.. but did not like the interface, so decided to trade it for a pixel 7 pro.
in short: How is Nova Launcher on the HM5 Pro?
How much can$? $1000?
Why the fuck are you copy pasting this comment on all the videos of the this phone?! That's legit psycho shit
@@r1chard874
Launchers shouldn't affect the refresh rate.
Truly one of the contenders for best flagship in 2023 👑
@@twinturborayit's the best smartphone in the world hands down. The software is top quality, nothing comes close to it. From a brilliant desktop mode to the best multi tasking on device and PC, a super video editor, text extraction, notepad with handwriting notes in which you can insert audio/phot/video, multi screen colab, magic folders, search scope (best feature ever on any phone), screen gestures, hand gestures etc. As for the camera, there's no doubt for me. Quickest shutter ever. I have a white bunny and I was amazed that after taking a photo indoors, I could count hairs. Unbelievable. For example, the Iphone which a great device, can't. It's just on another level. A samsung fanboy wouldn't understand how much huawei fans have suffered being kept away from all those goodies. Coming from P30 pro (best smarphone in the world 2019) I have the HM 4 pro (ok device) and now this one. HM 5 pro took over from where P30 pro left. No 1 spot worldwide. No question for me.
@@twinturboray👍
I think this is the best phone of 2023 so far.
Agree
Not even that goddd that s23 ultra cameras are ok bott otherwise istn nothing tho compare😂
@@dusanserdt2285 only zoom is good in S23 ultra.
p60 pro is the best
@@vasilis1914 How?
Love honor and huawei❤

Hey, I read your review. Can you make a screen record and upload on CZcams, then come back here with a reply? I am seriously thinking between this phone or Samsung and so far nobody has described the phone like you did. It would help me a lot ❤
@@Pensi0nar hey bro. I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now, but I'll be happy to help whenever I can. All those things I mentioned are true by the way, not made up fan boy stuff. Could you please be a little bit more specific to what you'd like me to help with ?
Wow
Man I absolutely LOVE my P30 Pro but the battery is no longer what it was after almost 4 yeats... looks like the Magic 5 Pro might be a worthwhile replacement!
I'm still using my mate 20X😅
That gorgeous display reminds me of the Oppo Find X. I can't wait to get mine.
Iv had every flagship of 2023 and more. I'm absolutely loving the honor magic 5 pro. Software takes a while to get used too. But this is easily the best looking phone out right now. It's large, wide and just fantastic. Well done honor
Have you had any issues with receiving notifications on time
how is it now half a year later
Looks beautiful
Finally you did it..thanks
My favorite brand ❤❤
I have to say it's priced really really well here in the UK, at launch it was for sale for 849 pounds for the 512GB version and came with like 500 pounds worth of freebies. Its just way too soon for me to upgrade my s22 ultra (which i paid 400 pounds more for 😢)
wow, that's good price.
What freebies?
I hate to say this but I'd have had to jump on those deals even with the S22U good for you for being able to hold off
Donate me your s22 ultra
@@pspr33 ah was like headphones, case, 50W wireless charger and 12 months insurance I think
Everything was great..apart from the thermal management and inability to create folders in app drawer
damn the stars movement on 6.45 mnt it captures... amazing 😍🤩
is there a high fps mode in full hd? like 1080p 60 fps or even a 120 fps mode or are there any high fps burst modes like on my old mate 20x i think it was 240 fps at 720 for a burst of 2 sec.
hi Gsmarena, have a good day 👋
The only comment I can add to the reviews is: I wish camera had more features as my beloved Huawei p30 pro had. It's not much for some people, but I used many of them often enough to get well... disappointed when I checked "more" in camera settings. I don't care much about stickers, but light painting and slo-mo x32 was excellent addition to the cam!
Otherwise this phone is great. I had to buy a special case to cover camera lenses. Something that is not for everyone.
Fav channel
Definitely this is the one I’m looking for
This phone looks great wondering how much it is
Love the phone. Thx for the review. Mabie, for the next one, Honor, pleaaase, don't use that pill on the screen. 😊 Actually I'm using a mate 20x. If Magic 6 pro is coming without the pill, I'll buy it 😊
will you do a review for honor 90?
Can't wait to see what they do for the Ultimate.
Nothing special. Generally, same phone in different case
@@titan5914 darn it. Not even an extra telephoto? Awww.
@@nikytamayo as far as I know, nothing
Just an increased battery capacity and nothing more. China exclusive as well.
@@distar7471 aw. Shame.
Honor go all in with the 2nd best "all around" cameras (the ultrawide probably the best out there) , with one of the top 3 display on the market, high chip, high battery life and many other and the people still talking about S23 and Iphones which cant offer such things with 300-600 more euros.
Every person who respect his wallet and himself, should support such a phone out there and ignore the famous "dont care for customers" brands
i havw mine 3 weeks ago and love it except the motion sensing features ..seems its not working the way they boast
Wow amazing presentation. However, is there an available iphone 11pro max give away?
Awesome content watching with my honor magic 5 pro bro
Wouldn't it make sense to watch the review before buying?
@@LindonSlaght
Tell me if this is the only review
@@LindonSlaghtust like people wait for an rewiew of a product before they buy. For example, the iPhone. Few people probably wait for a review before buying a new one every year
@@LindonSlaghtwhy, you gonna get a flagship from Honor you know it's gonna be good, no need for reviews.
@@soheiladam7510 facts, I've never used an honor phone that has disappointed me and it blows my mind why people still run to brands like Samsung 😂
Only thing i dislike 2nd speaker is not being at front :/
I wonder how is its video quality comprared to p60 pro, xiaomi 13 ultra and s23 ultra
Which bluetooth codecs does support honor magic 5 pro? 🤔
Is it wifi 7?
This is the best phone of the year ✨design ❤️🔥top material 👌top display 👌top CPU 👌top cameras(dxo) 👌fast wired and wireless 👌and the gps(GNSS) ARE TOP WITH MANY FREQUENCIES AND SATILLATES so it's good for driving the car navigation, and all the other specs 👌it's the best phone for now✨ buying it soon 🎉🎉
Why is there no quick way to launch the camera from screen off, it's upsetting me probably more than it should.
Best phone with play store after p 30 pro Huawei 🔥 tomorrow deal 760£
Im due an upgrade in 4 months. This us going to be my first choice followed by the S23 Ultra and the Xiaomi 13 pro
@indreams22OK Spielberg.
I was thinking about the same three phones. Just received the honor a week ago but thinking about returning it. There is nothing really wrong with it but the software just feels outdated and nit sophisticated enough. Also the camera can be great but its messing things up a lot of the time too. The camera app feels empty too without much to play with. Im probably going for the samsung although on paper the xiaomi should have a better camera, except for the 10x zoom ofcourse
Turn on both auto and non auto motion sensor didn't auto capture please help! 😢😢😢😢
How Candadian dollars and where to buy it ?? Thanks
I have a question/problem with my Honor Magic 5 Pro - bluetooth sound on earbuds much 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
I tried it with some cheap headphones and it unclogged my ears😂😂
Brooo, jiveesh v Dyrvenica??
Please answer mre, what kind of protection or glass type the phone uses?
kunlun glass
@@fleetadmiralsakazuki Thank you
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 :/
50 mp main camera the second one is 50 mp wide angle
P60 Pro is my prep 👌😎
I have honor magic 5 pro
But is china rom
I want to covert global rom what I do
Huawei DNA
Anyone noticed some weird lights in the night wide cam video samples? Any explanation on that?
I think that is patriot missile
Is this Ukraine or Russia?
Great review Thanks Bro...Thanks...what about esim support ? is there or missing?
In the Honor Magic 6 Pro, we hope that the bezel will completely disappear from the perimeter of the screen and become a screen only.
the camera cut out of honor magic 5 pro is a lot smaller than the camera cut out of iphone. apple should reduce the size of the cam cut out its to huge for the screen of the smaller pro version.
Will ❤🎉
this 2023 its crazy year... amazing phones... s23 ultra... xiaomi 13 pro and ultra.. oppo find x6 pro... This honor magic 5 pro... midrange.... redmi note 12 pro plus and galaxy A54... annd we still end of the 5th month.... Lets seewhat else is coming... 😊
I saw the realme pro plus model and the oppo reno 10 pro plus... Hope they will release globally
I'm excited for pixel 8 pro & 1+ Fold I'm also looking forward to the iPhone 15PM I can't use my 13PM it's too heavy
@@katinasutherlandwhited5578 well 15pm will be heavy as well i think...
how long the software support?
3 years
3 years software and 5 years security updates
I have just bought this phone Magic 5 pro, and while configuring my WhatsApp, i could not give the WhatsApp application access to internal storage.
My WhatsApp backup is stored in the internal phone memory, and the issue is when opening the settings - apps- WhatsApp - permission, am not able to see the storage to permit access to WhatsApp application. Please note that this issue is for all applications not only WhatsApp.
I have tried to give the access through permission manager, however storage is not one in the list.
So have u found the solution for this problem?
internal memory it's 512gb, What are you talking about here🤔
Plz Compare it with s23ultra and vivo x90 pro+
Different price and the S23U win
Not really, So said my friend who owns an s23u after a 1/1 test he changed his mind😅
This one or xiaomi ?)
Can Honor Magic 5 Pro uses Huawei Nano NM card?
no one has an answer to this?
no@@ziontanchinhiang
Is it just my device or is it true the camera tends to be blurry? Especially in WhatsApp, otherwise, great phone
Best
Looks quite nice. but the UI and that double cutout put me off
I got used to the cutout pretty quick coming from S22. It's an ok tradeoff for the great face unlock. S22 mostly didn't recognize my face :)
The UI is pretty light on features, might be good or bad for some people. I rather use Nova. One UI was better to use but to cluttered with features and laggy.
@Maochan81 s22 was garbage and one ui is smooth
Really don’t need a camera that big though
Use Gorilla Glass Victus screen protection?
❤️❤️
probably one of the best good looking smartphone in 2023 is this mobile.But what about after sales service
That is the question!
Please review honor magic 5
I have it,, SICK of boarding phones,, had iPhone 12 this is well better
what do you mean by boarding phones?

Which one is better this phone or the p60 pro??
HM 5 pro
Both are awesome. I would go for the p60 pro but if you prefer the regular google experience then go for the honor.
@@gantenbeinable P60 doesn't support 5G.
@@everstar8056 That is correct. Unless with a 5G case.
honor best
Selfie photos were not great at all. I like the rest though. Well done.
how many years of OS update?
i read it was 3 years for updates, 5 years for patches. can anyone confirm the fact?
@@joc7996 yes.
What about Magic 5
That pill shape cutout is really annoying, especially in the upper left corner. Middle placement would've been better though.
Or at least all the way in the corner
release date?
Already

I just took the leap and got this phone and if you can please help get the message to Honor that there is a major issue with connectivity to the point that it is dangerous for u to use this phone if your primary use is for fx or crypto trading.. It has trouble maintaining a stable connection even in areas where other phones show strong connection.. I am just about regretting enough as have lost a bit of money just because this damn phone decided that there was no internet connection wheb all around me everyone else not using a Honor Magic 5 Pro were happily connected.. Just be warned..
It's just a front cam otherwise I would've gone for it
Nice phone with good features, but damn that camera bump is soooooo ugly!!! Can't take that out in public.
this phone is much better than samsung today. love it!
please change photo spot... and other angel
4K 60fps recording????
No
@@titan5914 Yes...
Actually Huaweis cameras are better buy a lot
Another great phone that will not work in USA
Works in USA check flossy carter
Huawei p60 pro clear
That's own Huawei flagship so ofcourse it's gonna be the best.
Their problem is pricing
Not a problem clown
Pricing? It's cheaper than any other flagship of that caliber..
I would advise everyone to stay clear of this phone. I purchased one brand new 4 weeks ago and it broke in the first 3 weeks after being in my pocket during a short rain storm. Honor are refusing to replace my device under warranty as it has traces of water inside the device. It is supposed to be IP68 waterproof rating but clearly isn't.
absolute waste of almost £1,000 - go and buy a phone from a reputable organisation that doesn't cut corners in their manufacturing process.
Troll alert😂😂😂
This thing costs 1200eur! I understand when you are spiled youtuber but paying this much for a phone is just insane!
Same goes for the S23 ultra which cost more
Why?! people can pay more.
It's 999 EUR now in the Netherlands. You get 12 GB ram and 512 GB space. Wifi 7 BT 5.2. It's f cheap compared to competition. The only minuses I see is the USB C 2.0 (why they still put that on) and weight 219 gr. Have a nice day 🍺
If you're referring to honor magic 5 pro...
USB 2.0? The cell phone has USB 3.1, including video output and Deck mode,,
🤨 it's a flagship. Where is the problem ? Nobody said you have to buy this. It's a choice.
I'm the first
no one cares
I hate that pill shape selfie cam
It's looks cool and unique.
If you cannot do a pop up then that's what you get -- uglee
It's cool though
At least it has a purpose and serves as 3d face scanner
I have the previous phone, the Magic 4 pro, which also has the pill display hole. I didn't liked it at first but now I don't mind it at all
Plm
Very expensive
Actually, for this type of phone it's far cheaper than competitors like S23 Ultra
Is this a 5G phone?
yes
maybe
Honor isn't such a big deal anymore cause now you can get Google apps on Huawei phones through a 3rd party app, yep the exact Google apps....
Tbh it all comes to some features
And with that Honor wins
Not all the apps work on Huawei, even though you download them in a way or other, they need Google Play to work. Found out when I bought P50.
Those cameras are really nice but I just don't like the software on Chinese phones
Yeah you prefer NSA from 'muripigland
IMO it's only xiaomi's miui that's bad nowadays, ColorOS is good (currently using), OriginOS looks pretty nice, not had any major issues with EMUI in my experiences using it.
What's wrong with it?
@@jihigh482 you can't use navigation gestures on third party launchers with MIUI, that's horrible
@@jihigh482imo chinese phones' software is mostly average, though they do have some unique and sometimes useful features that are missing on stock android
Though i gotta say miui is one of the worst ones. Bugs everywhere, unpolished UIs, especially on mid to low range phones
And lastly, they won't give you a lot of major updates (this is true to almost all chinese phones). Most of them will only give you 2 years of android updates, 3 if you're lucky. I wish more chinese brands would follow samsung that have promised to give 4 years of android updates
Great phone but no wifi calling
Not true.
You have no idea what you're talking about
