Honor Magic 5 Pro

Still no news from the 3 telcos in selling/bundling the contract with M5 pro

Strange right? They don't give Honor any respect..

I think they still wanna be like EMUI so they can convert those existing HW user

Wah liddat will milk Huawei until dry anot? Steal whatever is left of their fanbase...

I shouldn't say steal... just only take away a part of it la haha...

under-rated phone in terms of specs is to price ratio.

somehow phone feels very much compact even though it is a whopping 6.7 inch screen.

i feel since m5 pro alr launch, not likely will go into telco..
maybe wait for next yr m6 pro.. that one higher chance will go direct to telco..

I think those who are really into hw one, will still stick with hw unless they really cannot work with google.

the screen is actually 6.81", the quad curve display really makes the phone easy to hold

the screen looks a lot smaller next to the s23u
honor literally cut all the corners.

disappointed coz coming from the mate20x, i wanted the next biggest screen.
turns out 6.81 is smaller than 6.8.

Mate20x is really 1 of a kind.. I consider it to be one of the best phone I have ever use.

It due to aspect ratio 19.3:9 vs 19.5:9..
Also the magic 5 pro is also more rounded screen than boxier S23 ultra screen

well if u look it in this way when compare with s23u.
1. better gripping
2. no green line
3. lighter (no s pen)

but of coz if u dun like curved screen, this is no go.

actually it is huawei emui...... this is why i like.
i was hoping if they are associated in something, then software won't be an issue in the future. As huawei constant update their software.

today i read, they are providing updates for previous honor phones under harmony OS.

That is becos, some of the older Honor phones are still under the care of Huawei. Only those new Honor phones after separation "will no longer taken care of" by Huawei.

It will depend on whether Honor wants to sell it to Telecom. And if the telecom is asking high commission, do you still want to do business with them?

And now moreover, you see what are the phones Telcoms are selling now? Just 2 big players, Apple and Samsung. The rest are just side dishes.

don't think so.
telco need to do bulk purchase get good wholesale rates.
Because they need to bear the losses for any unsold phones, so normally they only get those popular phones.
take e.g redmi..... it took years before singtel start selling them.

anyway, u buy iphone 15 with ur contract, then sell to shop.... using the price diff to offset your m5 pro.
currently, m5 pro is $1022~$1100 for local sets. MY set $1140 with 2 years warranty.

Just switched over to this phone from my Xperia 5 II that had green lines reappearing. Much better phone overall compared to Sony.

I dun like S23U. Magic 5 Pro looks better to me.

I saw Starhub still selling Huawei P60 Pro, Mate X3 and Mate 50 Pro. The sales must be good?

Maybe this is the reason the telco don't want to sell M5 pro, as it might affect the sales of hwawei phones that they are selling currently, as m5pro comes with Google play.

But isn't that the same for the rest of the phones that they are selling? (ie. all using google)

Hwawei used to own Honor, so I think both phones share many similarities in terms of software experience? I've not used either phones before hence I'm just guessing here... In terms of camera of honor magic 5 pro is 3rd ranking in DXOMark, and Hwawei p6 pro is the 1st ranking in DXOMark, so honor magic 5 pro seems to be good alternative to hwawei P60 pro, as it uses snapdragon 8 gen 2, as compared to snapdragon 8 gen+1 in hwawei P60 pro. Honor magic 5 pro comes standard with 512 GB, whereas P60 pro based spec comes with 256 GB, which is more expensive than Honor magic 5 pro.

Ranking second in DXOmark in terms of camera is oppo find x6 pro, which doesn't have international version, but does support Google play.
