Honor Magic 8 Series

[shager]

Is try out version considered beta?

It's the early access to the final, stable public release. When the version eventually gets released globally, your tryout version will not be updated again. Unless there are bugs discovered.

I see.
That explains why it does not comes with new features as mentioned here:

Updated nonetheless, cache cleared too.

Thanks for sharing.

just a highlighting of updates that you will be expecting in the coming months. it maybe available to China rom but yet to global. normally china will get the latest updates then follow to the global.

There, this is what I found weird. He says the oppo speakers have more punch and kick, while the honor bass is lacking... Does the Europe version have weaker speakers or something??

I don't think so. This is what I found weird too. Since you can actually feel the bass while you're holding the Honor phone. Not really so for the Oppo.
He must have arthritis in one of his hands holding the Honor.

GSMArena concluded :
The Magic8 Pro earned an 'Excellent' score for loudness, a relatively rare feat even in the flagship segment. It marks an improvement in sound quality over the previous generation, delivering cleaner vocals and livelier treble, while also making bass more precise and well controlled. It's once again a standout performance overall that's unmatched by its rivals - the vivo X300 Pro and the Find X9 Pro aren't really on the same level and even an iPhone 17 Pro Max sounds small and distant in comparison.

Many were questioning if he got it mixed up, because there were multiple times in his review where he mixed up the two phones. Like holding the oppo and calling it the honor.

But I don't think it was a mix up, because in his honor magic 8 pro review, he did say the bass was lacking. And he doubled down in the comments saying "I'd have to disagree with everyone sadly, compared with the Find X9 Pro that bass is weak sauce. My ears are old and knackered so they've got to really thump for me to appreciate it!"

Thought he wasn't one of the mega techtubers so he'd be more impartial, but this clearly shows some kind of bias.

I personally have disagreed with him previously in some of his reviews.

But this time, this is something that can really be felt and heard.

Yes it seems he is biased then.

He talking nonsense la, after he said that I stopped watching that video. Total 0 credibility.

Ben also sometimes state wrong specs and then occasionally correct himself in comments or smth..guess that's the issue of influencers relying heavily on multiple brands and sponsorship for more income and lose focus on the key metrics when reviewing phones.. it's like eating 30 plates of char kueh teow in a few months and u forgot which is the best then just give similar or wrong reviews for each plate lol...

That one understandable. This one got many question him also he double down. And he ignore most of the comments that brought up scenes where he accidentally swap the phones.

I'd call him a shill or sell-out, but I find it hard to believe that oppo wants him to rate their speaker better than honor, because neither of them actually put much emphasis on their speakers.

I use this honor phone to identify how many influencers that are making review videos based on a given script. All those that insists on comparing honor magic 8 pro with the iphone are the ones that are sticking to the script honor gave. Look at all the Malaysian reviews, die also must mention iphone, and I read one of them commenting that honor's theme this round is to prove they have better camera than iphone. So obviously all those that purposely keep bringing out iphone are those that managed to get the phone for free to review.
