hey everyone it's ricky from Ricky's tech talk in today's video, I will be unboxing the brand
new honor 55g not too much to shout about on the box all about on a 50 we've got 5g on a 50 down
On the side, there is a label down here at the bottom which says it's a dual sim with 256 gigabytes of storage
eight gigabytes of ram and I have the midnight black option next step let's get it unboxed
nice slow reveal our device is sat on top is there a bit yep there we
go so now it's time for that satisfying peel or we could have just taken it out
and as you can see see the rear cameras for the first time slightly different setup here than
what we've seen before I've got another sticker here just try and get this off
get that off stick that in there we've got honor midnight black is really nice actually got a hint
of blue inside there and come around to a very large display that we'll talk about as well in a
second, so let's just chuck that bit of wrapping out of the way what else do we get in the box
sim tool that's really helpful to get your sim in the dual sim as i said
no external storage though so make sure you choose the right option for you
so you're going to get the paperwork in yours I've got a free sort of case that i can use here which is
okay but i don't really use cases much now it's always good to use queso to protect your device
you put this on and it will work okay underneath we can really know this is press units because
I've got a 66-watt European plug it's a fast charging 66 watts is absolutely amazing so USB
a here you can see it's orange the cable will be orange as well to usb a to usb c make sure
you use the same cable same plug to get the best performance as i mentioned just so you know you're
using the right cables a USB a USB C make sure to use this when charging your device and we'll be
testing it out and you get some USB-C headphones here that's really nice to see so not this small
compact design that we have seen from other manufacturers you still get all the accessories
you need which is really helpful for me so pop the lid back on let's set that over to the side
and let's bring in our phone feels really nice in the hand really pleased to see the google services are
back on here for me, it's nice to know that the accessibility settings have returned and
we'll be making a dedicated video about that so greeted with honor android that's one of the most
important things to see on there now we've got the google play store back which is really good and
yes it went through a change but it's really nice to see the google services has returned for honor
so it has magic UI and android 11 and we're going through this more in the review so we're into the
setup stage now and i just want to point out here being registered blind it's nice to see there is
accessible settings down here at the bottom so you have font size and magnification inside here that
you can use change and adjust to make it your own also, you can press and hold the two-volume keys
to turn on talkback and that will let you know everything you need to know next step for me is
to fly through the setup process and then when i come back we'll go into greater details showing
the key facts about the device once it's set up so now the phone has been set up and we're into the honor
home screen here the first thing i want to point out is that google play store is where you can go
and download all the apps and the most important one is youtube so make sure to come and subscribe
to Ricky's tech talk stay updated with all of my latest videos so you do have the magic UI and it
is running android 11. not too sure if it's gonna get pushed to android 12 but we'll find out and
if i do find out I will let you know so let's talk about the specs and the key features and
everything we're going to be using before wrapping up this video so let's talk about the display it
has adopted the wrap-around edges where your the screen seems to just be falling off the edges
i really like this and this is happening more and more now on most displays that we see talking of
the specs though it's a 6.57-inch display with a 89.7 screen to body ratio so you can get loads of
screen and very minimal bezel at the bottom here a very very small tune and with that wrap-around
display where it falls off the edges it feels like you don't have anything down the sides it's an
OLED display with over a billion colours it offers a 120-hertz refresh rate which you can change
inside the settings and that's really nice to see now because this is the entry-level honor
50 there is a pro variant i weren't too sure if we can see the 120-hertz display but we have and
i really like that option its resolution is 1080 by 2340 which will give us a pixel density of 392
pixels per inch so your images will look crisp and clean your text will look easy to read and
you can just enjoy sitting back and flying through tik-tok looking at our display you're going to
find the front camera which is actually in the form of an o dot in the top part of the display
which is okay but i would prefer either a v-shaped or it was moved over to the left-hand side or
the right-hand side because when you're gaming if you hold it and it's on the left-hand side
it actually drops off your display and you can hardly notice it whereas in the middle
here it does wrap around but i would maybe just prefer that over to the left-hand side or the v
shape that i have used before but you do have a front-facing camera which is 32 megapixels in size
and that is a wide camera lens with an f 2.2 in aperture and that means everyone and everything
will get in your shot when it comes to video recording it's only at 1080p at 30 frames per
second, that's its highest resolution there may be other variants need to check that out in my camera
review or my full review which will be linked in the video description once live so turning around
and looking at the rear camera i'm reminded of my cooker downstairs however this device punches
a lot more power and can take great shots of food so let's discover what all these lenses do so your
main sensor is 108 megapixel wide sensor which is f 1.9 in aperture and it has phase detection
auto focus your next is an 8-megapixel ultra wide lens which is 120 degrees field of view
which means everyone will get in your shot i really like 120 degrees field of view ultra
wide lens and that's an f 2.2 in apricon your next is a 2-megapixel f 2.4 and this is your macro lens
and your final one is a 2-megapixel f 2.4 which is your depth lens so that will give your bow
car and you can really get people sharpness and your macro will be your chrome effect
the black and white style or gray style that you want to get when it comes to video recording we've
got 4k but it's only locked down to 30 frames per second i would have preferred 60 if possible
but however, i do know this is the entry-level then you have your 1080p at 30 or 60 frames per
second and you do have a gyro eis and this means it's electronic image stabilization system built
in this is really helpful taking videos on rough terrain or you've got shakes or your movements and
this will help to reduce that stuttering effect on your videos finally the power and performance side
what's running our new device so we have first of all it's running android 11 with magic ui 4.2
this means the google play services has returned depending on the market and region you buy your
the device in it's running the Qualcomm snapdragon 778 5g six-nanometer processor which is an optical
processor with variant speeds you have a gpu from adrannu which is 642l and again we'll be testing
out gaming and seeing how well it performs so your battery built into your device is a 4
300 millionth hour battery it offers fast charging at 66 watts 70 charges in just 20 minutes
and 100 charge in 45 minutes and believe me we'll be testing that out so it comes in two variants of
sizes or other options in other regions you have 128 gigabytes of storage six gigabytes of ram
128 gigabytes of storage eight gigabytes ram 256 gigabytes of storage and eight gigabytes around
which we have here not in the uk and other regions you can get 256 gigabytes of storage
and 12 gigabytes of ram and that all depends where you live so here in the uk the honor
50 starts at 449 pounds and that's for 128 gigabytes and 6 gigabytes of ram however i
have the 256 gigabyte version with 8 gigabytes of ram which will cost you 529 pounds at the moment
they do have fantastic offers and deals available coming up to black Friday there may be even more
coming so make sure to go and check out their high honor uk website which will be linked in the video
description so i will make sure to leave a link there as well as any further videos i will create
okay enough said that that was quite a lot so my the first question is what do you think of the honor
50 now that has the google play services are you more interested and will you buy it let me know
it's always great to hear from you i hope you've enjoyed this video as well and also let me know if
