I'm a big Huawei fan since I'm still using my Huawei P30 Pro which has been excellent in all areas. I'm in the uk and I have been hoping to get a new Huawei maybe p50 or P60 but if Honor is basically a new Huawei....
I also really loved my p20 pro! The best phone. i would really like to buy a new Huawei. but it don't have google. And on the Honor, as I understand it, there are no problems with Google?
Ive always had Huawei, but my p30 pro is on its way out, no Google assistant and fingerprint sensor not working, so I've but the bullet today and ordered the honor, after hours of videos and reviews, I think I've made the right choice, plus I'm fed up off Samsung, Google and Apple taking the main market. I've got a great deal on the phone with id mobile, £38 pm for unlimited everything for 2 years
I can get the Honor Magic 5 Pro for around 850 euro if I extend my subscription for 2 years paying around 25 euro per month. That's a huge discount knowing the phone's listing price is at 1199. To put it in context S23 Ultra 256GB is around 1150 but with a subscription you get only 100 euro discount.
I am using hm4pro.. there is really rarely got update (not even on android 13 yet) Certain apps cannot open, need to uninstall and install again many times. The curve is really bad, too curvy. Camera quality actually really like potato, bad quality. Hard to find casing, need buy direct from china.
I'm getting the Honour Magic 5 Pro for £531.99 that's £100 off honor voucher + 8% (£68) off buying through First Xclusives and selling my S20 ultra with charger and cases for £250 .. and getting £500 of free gifts on top from Honor earphones wireless charger extra case and screen protector .. I looked at the S23 ultra and I do not want it will never use the pen and costs too much
Everything that you said is true about the camera and performance. I got Magic5 Pro and it is really great device, also cheaper than S23 Ultra and have fast charger and some basic silicon casing and screen protection. Only feature that S23 Ultra has is the S-pen, but I don't need this.
I agreed. I just bought Honor 90 in Singapore, at SGD599, and at this price you can't get a better deal and performance front another higher midranger. Salute Honor.
From the looks of it Honor Malaysia did well by pricing the Magic 5 Pro at a good price and including 512gb in the mix. From what I know yes, software update is better on Samsung but these days people change their phones every 2-3 years. I rarely have anyone in my circle who's using a 5 year old phone as their main device.
Replying you right now with my Huawei P30 Pro since July 2019 and it is about to be 4 years of old... Did not experience any lag nor stuttering except insufficient storage due to maybe 20,000 photos lol... I'm seriously considering Honor to be my next upgrade
I am still using XS max as my primary device which is 5 years old now. Maybe I will keep iPhone for 2 more years but buy honor magic 5 in December. Ios is boring
Looks like a sponsored video. Photos chosen to pick one made good with Honor, though in side by side comparisons S23 wins. Also in battery department not a word that S23 gets about 15-20% longer battery life on full charge. Seems like cherry-picked only things that Honor has some advantage on. Poor comparison.
From Germany here: Unfortunately, we barely hear of Honor over here, and only got the 5pro (no regular 5 or ultimate). It started nearly as expensive as S23plus here which is massively hyped, but by now, while S23ultra 12+512GB is still at least 1150 Euros, the Magic 5pro was sold for 760 Euros now during Black Friday weeks. Thats just insane.
Honor is just huawei bypassing the restrictions placed on them. Maybe this is Honor introducing their brand to the market. Once they are well known they can then jack up the price.
Want it! Please say, when and where can we get it in the US? A big honor fan, have an older model now and need to upgrade But politics, ughh,, so will it work well here if I can even get it?? (A frustrated honor fan from the states!) 🤣
can anyone tell if the absence of IR camera makes a difference to the huawei phones? meaning... does facelock still work under very low light conditions?
@@thaliagonzalez9625 But their access to the latest hardware resources has been rightfully made limited by the US government. Huawei after all is a company of a CCP member. I have many Huawei phones, all are/were of good quality.

It's actually not the same, the chipset is just way better, way better battery life, better cameras, more years of software updates and better screen so yeah I can't really say that it's the same phone

In terms of camera, Honor has its advantages. Samsung S23 Ultra is more suitable for those needed in use of the pen. Different type of users they are looking for.

Love the fact that Honor is silently replacing Huawei with its lack of google. Honor is literally the new Huawei.
it has google

in the global version - yes
At my retail it cost same as S23U 12/512 so i dont know....
