Honor is doing a fantastic job making people rethink about their brands of choice
lol fr
I've had this phone for a few days now. It is absolutely amazing. After 24 hrs of normal use, on performance mode, I still had 52% battery left. The screen is superb with 120mhz refresh rate. It's extremely fast, 256gb internal memory and 8gb ram. I got mine for £229 at Argos, absolute bargain. One of the best phones I've ever had.
Same... Got it from argos too. Best phone I've ever had
I just ordered 128gb version for 139€.
@@hdkonvick6299 i just got 256gb for 139€ :D
🥰 almost 4 years and it still works well and fits perfectly, I love Honor-Huawei.
I've owned a Mate 20 Pro for 4 years. Instead of buying a new phone I'll just replace the battery!
I am still using mate 20 pro i raplaced battery and still rocking with no issues
My 3rd phone was a p20pro, I've gone on to get the p30pro and now p50pro.
Seriously considering this honor phone with its top of the chart score on dxomark
Currently on Huawei, my next phone will be a Honor
Me too. I'm currently using my huawei mate 20 since Nov 2018, nearly 5 years ago & still. Had changed the battery once. That's all. 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Great video, I like mobile techies to review budget phones aswell as the flagships. That battery on that Honor is phenomenal.
I've had the honor view 20 for about 4 years and still is absolutely brilliant
Next phone will def be an honor phone
Same here... Best Buy of the decade...
Great video as usual, are there any particular Bluetooth earbuds you recommend for Honour phones? Thanks 😊
I am defo gonna buy this today, cant wait to use it
Great vid AS ALWAYS 👏👏👏
Like the way you put it. I was thinking about the same before getting BLU G72 Max which is backed by a mediatek SoC. The 13MP camera setup with 5000mAh battery are sufficient for me.
Well said 👏 I feel like that when using a budget phone. I am currently using redmi 12 explorer and 200mp camera on it is really good. Honor 5 lite look cool.
New sub mate, from sunny Manchester, just ordered this mobile, cant wait
Nothing but your energy and confident review convincing content always make me to be agreed ❤❤❤
I have an Honor and charge my phone every two days, I think if you use your phone for calls, texts, social media and watching CZcams videos, etc you don't need an expensive flagship, I have a £7 pound a month sim free deal with my honor and I'm fine
Nice review, what is the game name with the heroes?
Thank you for the great content! Great stuff!
Tell me during your usage was the screen constantly at 120hrz?
Good review, you got a new subscriber 🇧🇷
How long security updates?
Good review! Would have been good to know how long the battery did last for?
I have the phone and if u don't use it more than 4 hours a day it can last for 2and a half days
The battery life is amazing... What was your sot?
Do we need to install google services or is it installed from the manufacturer? I'm asking for the Portuguese market.
Honor phones have google services
For casual use this phone is Perfect. Nice watch you have. Great review! :)
Good for any use really
Which wireless carrier do you use for this phone?
I used HONOR holly for five years and now using HUWAWEI from 2019 and again looking forward to move to HONOR MAGIC 5...IT ticks all boxes of requirements
i still used HUAWEI Mate 9 until now.. its 2017 phone i think? hehe..
@@robinWrath16your both idiots for using a phone made by a phone company that literally works for Chinese government
Based on your battery life and how surprised you were it's time to do a battery test against the s23 ultra iPhone 14 pro and maybe the one plus 11 .
I'd have bought the magic 4 pro but I can't stand a pill shaped camera cutout on the front. I need symmetry
Getting a Magic 5 Lite tomorrow, got it for £199.99 , I've got an Honor 9X from 2020 still going strong not a thing wrong with it !! Just can't update no more on this one ( stuck on Android 10 ) and no 5g that's it really ✅ Honor good quality.
Very happy with it so far easy to transfer everything and much quicker as now on Android 13
Amazing unboxing as always bro
Nice review, I wasn't planning to buy this but found good deal £210 eBay. I like the design and specs. I feel I am get pull away from flagship and move towards mid/budget range phone their killer it.
Have you bought it ?
Love the air tag on the cat.
Does this phone will update to Android 14?
which one is the best HONOR Magic5 Lite or Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G ?
Bought one from argos yesterday £249 all seems good so far, bought it to use it at work to save risking breaking my iphone 14 pro and this does everything i do on the iphone anyway lol
@ASBYT,
Good review. What kind/breed of cute cat is that? 😁😅
Just got one and I'm finding the battery is going down quite fast, anyone else had this problem?
I own this smartphone since 6 weeks and love it
Hey Andreas, i think about buying this, how does the curved Display feel ? And what about the camera and speaker? Cheers for an answer
I bought the honor magic 4 lite a month ago. It's the 680 Snapdragon. I'm now waiting for a poco x4 gt to be delivered as I find the performance sucks.
In December 2021 I bought Oneplus 7T pro Mclaren Edition after using OnePlus 8T+. I told to my dad's sister to buy my Oneplus 8T+ at $250. Should i buy Honor magic 5 lite or stay with 7T pro Mclaren Edition? Actually, I prefer full screen.
Priced At A Bit Over $500~Its Rather More A MidRange Device~Not Budget...That's A Bloody Understatement...
Watching this whit honor magic5 lite 5g i have the titanium silver and im in love with it❤❤
You can perfectly use the magic 5 lite
Unfortunally 3d face isnt there which i would only miss
Why didn't you talk about the speakers(or did i miss it?)? Honor phones are plagued with awfully bad speakers.
What is the name of that fighting game u was playing in the video
Hey send your email address please
Good review as always
Honor are not great with their software updates. Have the honor magic4 lite and still on android 11. While other companies and their devices are on android 12/13
The happiest part of this video:) Chelsea fan
When u paying for flagship you paying for the premium feel , and high resolution screen and maybe speakers ..day to day usage most people cant tell the difference between budget phone and flagship chipset performance ..the only time an average person will start to see a difference between a budget phone and flagship is at night photography...
Only thing pretty much I dont like about Honor is their software, i feel like software design is pretty outdated, but thats just me. Good vid overall m8👍, keep up the good work!
It is, but bare in mind that it was heavily dependent on Huawei and are trying to find their feet as a independent brand, so software is still a bit more on the old Huawei side, but I think their goal right now is to get back into the minds of people and then doing a redesign
Just got the green and here in South Africa it's marked as honor x9a 5g
Android 13 has been out for over a year heck Android 14 has been released yet companies like honor have still not released it absolutely shocking especially when honor is releasing newer phones with android 13 no wonder customers turn to apple
Honor x8 is also a good phone good for gaming butt I'll be getting the x9 5g this summer
Perhaps the major thing about honor phones is the display. I love the curves so freaking much. But the problem with Magic 5 lite is that sd695 wouldn't be able to handle 120Hz refresh rate. So I still recommend honor 70 at the similar price with sd778.
It actually has 120% as it's a rebrand of the Honor x9a.
i'm trying to decide between Honor 70 and Honor Magic 5 Lite which is 100 euros cheaper but has 5100mah battery....What do you recommend? Is the H70 ebough for full day medium use with 4800mah?? Thx in advance! Great review btw...
4800 mAh and honors battery optimisation should be fine for full day medium use 👌
@@ASBYT thx for your fast response bud
@@ASBYT would you recommend this or the Honor 70 as overall phone?
@@sergegs4507what did you end up getting
I've got a 40w charger in the box, maybe it depends on region, i'm from Costa Rica
Hardly watched anything and battery is going down, used Google maps for 30 minutes and battery dropped 7 percent
I'm trying to find out what phone I should buy and the "Sponsored by Honor" doesn't help. Might even get it but the deciding factor won't be you.
Honor has been rumored and Fuji co-branded before No more, talk about no more?
There are also rumors of a full range of ultrasound is also gone, but began to significantly reduce the shrinkage of the simple.
1. the standard version with ufs3.1, not on ufs4.0. Pro with 4.0
2. standard version of the main camera did not ois optical stabilization
3. charging 66w, and the current mainstream 120w or even 150w gap is a bit large, in addition to the Pro version is also the same
4. the standard version with z-axis motor, but now Mid-range price point phones are beginning to popularize x-axis linear motor ah. 5.
5. USB and shrink into the usb2.0.
6. Pro is also a short-focus fingerprint, should only be the best version with ultrasonic.
7. not using Bluetooth 5.3, but the use of 5.2
In addition, the Qinghai Lake technology means that the battery?
I would like to ask, the so-called market strategy and we consumers have what to do with it? More than a thousand to buy Snapdragon 480, 695 this kind of shirt,, is it still worthy of praise?
What fighting game is it, sir? I really like to download it too.
Marvel contest of champions 👍
Battery life and display seem great but many things make the phone seem overpriced like bad software support, no stereo speakers, WiFi 5 only, bad auxiliary cameras and so on. When you compare this to the Honor 70, which dropped in price recently, the Magic 5 Lite seems like a bad deal to me.
Why is the Honor 70 a better phone?
Was going to but this phone second hand for £100 and instead opted for samsung a71...wish I had stuck with the honor now
Nice video
No they are not.
Easily learned that by getting a p40 lite very early in 2021.
Best decision for a phone I ever made.
It only lacks stereo sound.
does it have muti video recording on it
I have a feeling that the battery drainage will increase by 50% after the OS updated
I have the Honor Magic5 lite and Redmi Note 13 pro. When it comes to the Display Brightness 🔅 Honor Magic5 lite is way better when set half way ...But at full brightness for display Note 13 pro slightly wins, but poorer when both devices are set the same level lower then full brightness 🔅 Honor Magic5 and 6 wins Vs Redmi Note 12 and 13 Pro
I got bored with my iPhone 14 pro and Apple watch 8. I got this phone and the honor band 7 for a total cost of £232 for both and am blown away by the overall proformance, display and battery life. The camera is the only let doen but for the price I cannot moan. No more apple for me. I will now upgrade every year and not worrry about the cost.
Yeah this is basically my Sony Xperia 10 IV with the same Snapdragon 695 + 5000mAh combo. Easily a 2-day battery if not three or even up to four days if you push it with super skimpy usage and turning it off at night.
No review /comment about the speaker?
Still it is way better to buy new unopened box S21Ultra for £450-500
Better in every category
S21 Ultra battery life is terrible
Cameras are good
Huawei not only make excellent premium phone & budget phone, they also make excellent microchip to save the phone battery, and their Hamony OS is just the rare level of software design! I'm going to use their phone instead of Samsung phone from now on! To get the best for what I paid for! The Ultimate Honor and Huawei brands for the phone users!😎
I have the Xiaomi 11T pro and the battery is gone bonkers after 12 months in use.. it drains from 82% to 0% in 5 mins yes 5 mins,but here is wired part when charging it, I use a 67w Redmi charger from my Missus and the bloody thing chargers to 100 in 7 mins..Strange as my 120w charger from the phone takes 15 and then the bloody thing sticks at 100 up to 20 hours, but soon as it goes down to below 90% she quickly goes in 10 mins..not sure what is happening and it feels very hot... STRANGE
But I might switch to the Honor Magic 5 lite to see if I get similar issues I know the processor and cameras not as good, as the Xiaomi 11T pro but I'm getting similar ram / memory bigger battery and similar stereo speakers and the same display at cheaper cost .
Those super charger are definitely going to make your battery life shorten by half, I would rather use a normal Samsung charger than some 67 watt charger , what for? I don't get it , the faster it charges, the more cycles it depletes.
Google playstore available?
Yes
I don't understand people that buy flagship phones. You pay $1000+ and they don't even give you a charger in the box. Literally every midrange android except a few Samsung phones have a charger in the box.
Honor magic 5 lite or samsung galaxy a54?
A54 better
Even i use it, and i am from Krypton...
Commenting from the magic 5 lite
How’s it going ?
@@fazalanwarr really good
@@Ahmd004 what about the camera/Video ?
@@fazalanwarr honestly the camera is mid ranged,If you care about it you shouldn't buy this phone,instead you can buy xaumi redmi 12 pro or the 12 pro+ they are almost the same price as my phone but with much better camera, especially the pro+ it got the best camera deal in the market
@@Ahmd004 Thanks. I think I’ll go with Redmi Note 12 pro . You’re right, price is same and it’s is better than Honor magic 5lite …
Best phone I had for long time
QHD screen? At this price point? Come on, dude. Who would honestly expect that? Samsung sell the S23+ for £1000+ and that's still only FHD.
Dxomark 🤣🤣🤣 yeah the totally lost their reputation. Btw in the Czech Republic this honor costs same as Galaxy A53 so .... yeah Chinese phones aren't competitive in Europe anymore.
Unboxing magic 5 pro please sir🙏
Not global unfortunately
I love my honor phone ♥️
Which is the better one? This or Honor 70?
Honor 70 is better
@@me5425 how come?
@@craigr9881 it is better but OnePlus 9 Pro is even better and it's same price 😃
Only one speaker which isn't loud
How to order this phone? I read trustpilot reviews and 99% of the people have given 1star to their online purchase experence, either not delivered or delivered somehwere else, and then once you are in a mess, support center are equally bad and unhelpful.
To be honest i would prefer buying this from a shop rather online, can you tell us how to get one from a shop
It's a nice enough phone but as Honor has now joined the Apple/Samsung cartel by not including a charger in the box, I'll look elsewhere.
Waw thanks for sharing I need this bad boy for my daughter
Hmm.. not sure, if the OS and security updates are guaranteed for the next 5 years, I might switch from Samsung
I got that honor magic 5 lite delivered from Honor to review
How long did they tale to deliver in the UK?
@@hasham19833 next day as its from Honor pr
SWITCHING from the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to the Budget HONOR Magic5 Lite! Wearing a apple Ultra watch 😂😂😂
Exactly 💯🤡
I use an android phone and an iPhone daily. Next question.
Lmaoooo
Let me check if he has affiliation links in the bio
Next question? Ok why?
I'm using a pixel 6a and feel no need for a flagship .
Is it a paid review? how can you compare apples with oranges, Other flagships in 2023 have SD 8 Gen 2, but this doesn't even come remotely close, just borrowing some features from flagships doesn't make it a flagship replacement.
It's not a comparison. I'm asking the question, can you use a non flagship and be fine, spending less money. That's the point.
@@ASBYT When you say in title are flagship necessary?it inherently instigates comparison. I know that a lots of effort, planning and hardwork goes into making these videos, so I ve got nothing against the content.. Just felt like highlighting the comparison point.
Cheers !!!
Yes its true the iphone 13 Pro max or iphone 14 Pro Max does not have the longest lasting battery as Apple tries to make you believe.
Ok I had so much to say about all of this video.... The autism in me is screaming out at me about what's being said and what's shown.... Please don't hate me.....
So.... Phone fully charged at 08:07, cut to the phone 45seconds in and it's 10:21 on 22nd Feb which is an irritant to start with, but as you go through the video we get some footage of the phone on the 20th and 21st Feb, but as it turns out most of the test was (well I'm assuming on the 21st Feb) but we don't get to see all the phone battery and date status on each battery update....
There are days that are shown that have a lot less battery at around noon, like almost 66% by 13:31.... It's not that I don't trust ASBYT, it's just an irritant due to knowing he's a good and well known CZcamsr, and to be honest yes a lot of people won't be looking this deep into it, but curiosity of an autistic is always wanting to investigate themselves with what they have in this case this video.
Don't get me wrong HONOR as a sister brand (or was) of Huawei, I'd not be surprised if they had the great battery life that Huawei phones did. Maybe it's just that oddly extra 100MAH to the already large 5000MAH battery that really makes that much of a difference? Or combination of both the large batter and the very efficient operation of the OS on the battery too?
Funny I still had a lot to say even after I was going to make this shorter 🤣
Honor are using this video as an advert on their website.
But the camera is horrible it's like those WELCOME phones camera...
they don't sell their phones with a charger anymore because of economic problems... 90% of phone users have a charger at home, so they won't sell them anymore u3u
Fantastic review. I use paw patrol don't know where she got it from.
Yea I would rather spend 200-300 on a mid ranger and use SIM only than spend 800+ on a flagship outright or pay a monthly premium for 2 years. A midrange smartphone caters to 90% of the average users needs, with only the cameras and CPU/GPU normally being the main differences
Cameras are always bad in this light phones. Plus I would not recommend a Honor Phone. Honor Magic 4 pro (Global Flagship) is still on December Security Patch now and there is not even an Android 13 beta yet. You can only think how bad the support for the Light phones will be...
