Thanks for this great review. I went for the Honor Magic 5 pro and very happy with it.

I got mine last week. Amazing phone, it has that Huawei feeling. So far, I love it.

Still worth it for what I've paid for. Not all flagship phones are able to compress a good battery life, huge capacity of RAM/ROM, IR blaster, good camera with a lot of AI features, NFC, dual sim, water/dust proof, and a lot more as you go thru it's software (got desktop mode, reverse charging, wireless charging, can connect usb3 external hard drive, smart screen gestures, etc.) It's the entire embodiment of SMARTphone. 🥰

Thanks for the update. Good to see long term reviews. Keep it up

Great video, thanks for it. I got the phone recently and I'm really amazed by it. The only thing I would prefer to be better is sound volume, as although the quality is really good, it does seem a bit quite.

Great Review, especially for the blutooth signal Info.

Nice video and informative!!! Saw you at the Café last Thursday. 😊

This phone is incredibly good. I'm glad I took a chance and imported it to the states. Signal strength is great and I have no problems getting notifications on time. The Screen and inhand feel are the highlights for me.

I am using the phone and I love it. My gf has a 14 pro max and I would never trade with it. Camera on magic is better, and honestly it feels faster overall and better in the hand. Hapticks are amazing on this phone as well.

Great video! I love this smartphone, in this color along with the finish and shape of the camera module, it reminds me of a black hole because the light creates a kind of circle around the module. If it was intentional, I think it's a beautiful idea because black holes absorb all light, creating a parallel with the performance of night photos and videos, which looks really cool to me.

Nice experience story - I like your video style! fun fact: in Germany the regular Honor Magic 5 is not available. Just the pro version. I ordered it today. So exited. Used the Honor 20 pro from 2019-2021. Then switched to Pixel 6 and now back to Honor. I like the easyness of taking a pohoto with Honor and of course the High-End Specs it has. Unfortunately sicne the split from Huawei the prices skyrocketed (at least in Germany) for Hoinor. In the past Honor waas famlous for big tech on a budget price. Nowadays it is stzill cheaper then Samsung/Apple but not that cheaper as it used to be in the good old days ;-)

Pls do more long term reviews, it lets us know whether phone makers are committed to their phones. My Poco phone still running March security 😅

Are you finally able to drag down the notification shade from the middle of the homescreen in the latest update? or is it still the same?

Are you planning on making a comparison video between p60 pro and magic 5 pro ?

great info🙏

Did they fix the mic problem when zooming in on video mode? And do everyone's smartphones these days have slower Hz when surfing the internet or it's only with Honor and Huawei smartphones? Because there is a difference when ur on your software surfing vs the internet- slowed screen smoothness and screen speed

Hi Lim, thanks for the review again. Could you advise if Honor Magic5 (non pro) reception is worst than the Pro one just like the iPhone? I read that it doesn't have special chip to boost signal like Pro, wonder how it fares in real world situation

Hi bro, for some reason iPhone's reception seems to be the lowest among all phones I've owned. You're right about the Non-Pro not having the HONOR C1 chip.

I have recently broken my phone screen, and I'm thinking on buying a new phone. And this phone review really amazes me, I'm thinking of buying it 😅

Great phone.. Please make camera review video ❤

The matirial use in both phone is same or difference. Example mattel or plastic. Bot comes with ip68 or what bro.

Can you please test the screen durability? I saw a video of someone using this screen as a hammer, similar to the x9b

Do you find the Magic 5 pro a bit on the heavy side considering it is 219g.

what lock screen is that? very nice

I've been using this phone for around 2 months, i can say that based on my 10years of Xiaomi experience, i went from xiaomi mi note2, then to xiaomi mi a1, to xiaomi mi note 10, to mi 11 ultra then to this phone. I can say that, this phone is so well rounded that i cant really nit pick much at this point, ya the stereo speakers is not like Xiaomi 11 ultra's Dolby Atmos, the haptics are not insanely implemented compared to my 11 ultra, but other than that, the only word i have for this phone is amazing. Like seriously, the OS has very very very few bugs, and the camera..... i went to Semporna Sabah a few days ago, i took some insane pictures that i didn't know it was possible on this phone The battery, i used my camera all the time from 9am till 6pm, my battery is still at 30%+, i know it sounds like a lie to anyone here, but for real, whoever is considering a Honor Phone, buy this and you're not gonna regret! u guys can leave comemtns below if u guys wanna know more too~

Hey Julia, each app provides different shortcuts when long-pressing their respective icons. For example - on camera, it shows different shooting modes, and on Google Maps, it shows work/home/etc. You're not able to force stop/clear cache if that's what you're looking for specifically.
