I'm back from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona where this of course was
announced the honor magic5 Pro and I'm super excited to check it out and give
you a preview of it and my first impressions in this video so this mobile here has a 6.81
inch screen 120 hertz pretty standard nowadays right however it's got the industry's highest
dimming on it so it's a rate of 2160 Hertz for the pulse width modulation and that translates
into a screen that is super solid you do not see any flicker with it at all it's got a 5100
milliamp hour battery all powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 it has ufs 4.0 storage
3D face unlocking so way more secure than 2D face unlocking and honors star wheel triple
camera design which consists of 350 megapixel cameras a optical zoom periscopic camera 3.5
time zoom main camera and Ultra wide and it does have ai motion sensing which can take some
really cool photos on for example Sports Action like that in a split second because the AI is
monitoring that and it will take those photos before you can even react and take it yourself
so we do get with the phone a clear TPU case some trade tools some paperwork the cable which is type
A to type c and honors supercharge now this is 66 watts and of course when my full review
comes I'll let you know the battery life and the exact charging time I'm able to get so this is a
6.81 inch phone and it has an extremely good build quality to it the Finish is superb just like the
magic vs really top-notch Hardware here so the screen they call it their quad curved floating
screen and it's 120 hertz and I'll get into it in a little bit more detail and go over some of the
features of it but because of the curve down the bottom and the top and then left and right when
you're holding it it feels very nice in hand there are no sharp edges anywhere middle frame around
the outside the volume and power buttons here are in a perfect location on that right hand side so
very easy for me to access those I don't feel like it's too low or too high it seems to be pretty
much spot on there so well done with the design of that because a lot of Manufacturers actually
get that wrong which is hard to believe so type c poured here with video out support SIM tray takes
two Nano Sims microphone antenna lines loudspeaker one of two because there is a another right here
at the top and we do have an IR transmitter another microphone there so the middle frame
is all around the outside and it just gives it a very premium nice feel to this phone as for the
weight and size of it while it's 119 grams pretty standard for a phone that has a middle frame on
it and of course packing a 5100 milliamp hour battery within it the thickness so measuring here
that is going to be 8.77 millimeters again that's pretty standard for these types of Flagship phones
so these rear cameras they have it set up with this what they call a star wheel triple camera
design they're all 50 megapixels so we have a periscopic 3.5 times optical zoom camera then
we have the main camera which is 50 megapixels and of course the ultrawide so they're all the
same megapixel count here now they've based this the concept the design of this here is the eye
of muse design and then the curvature to them they say is a tribute to Gaudi now Gaudi is very famous
in Barcelona for a lot of his designs it's very fitting considering this was launched at Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona now this phone has an absolute stunner of a screen so 6.81 inches ltpo
it's got the quav curvature to it that I mentioned before and it looks really good now one of the
best things about it for me at least and something I talk about a lot of my reviews is pulse width
modulation and the flicker you can often get with these displays well because it is running a very
high 2160 Hertz pulse width modulation I don't see any flicker with this at all so just having
a look at one of my reviews here it happens to be of course the honor magic vs check the channel for
that too by the way if you're interested there's no flick here and at all angles I don't see it
shimmering or flickering at all now the brightness on this screen is crazy and it's HDR 10 plus mode
it can Peak at 1800 Nets and you're looking at a resolution here of 1312 by 28 48 pixels which does
give us a PPI of 661 so it is extremely sharp gestures are working really well and 120 hertz
so it is super fast smooth and fluid and for your spec junkies out there well it pretty much covers
all bases within this we have a 5100 milliamp hour battery it does have 50 watt wireless
charging along with the 60 6 wire charging all powered of course by that new Snapdragon 8 Gen
2 it does have the faster RAM and we get ufs 4.0 support with it so there's a lot of tech packed
into this and not only that of course we've got that 3D face recognition the unlocking it's even
got a AI privacy call mode the fingerprint sensor it's not a lot in here including Wi-Fi seven if
you happen to have a course a Wi-Fi 7 router then it will work with the honor magic 5 Pro as for the
software it is based on Magic OS 7.1 now honor did announce that they will give us three major
Android updates and up to five years of security patches for the phone which is great and it is
coming out with Android 13 which that magic OS 7.1 is based off honors magic 5 Pro is looking
very impressive indeed and I can't wait to really get more into depth with this with you which will
be up and coming in my final review of this magic 5 Pro so the camera setup on the rear is looking
very promising the screen is probably one of the best if not the best that I've used and tested
out now I'm someone that is a little sensitive I Won't Say I'm the worst out there too the flicker
you sometimes get with pulse width modulation from these ltpo the OLED or AMOLED screens but because
it is 2160 Hertz I'm not seeing any flicker Watts however it looks very steady to my eyes and
there's even a lot of other features in there too health related to lower and reduce the blue light
and the flicker free thing is the best one for me to this phone now it's powered by the Snapdragon
8 Gen 2 performance so far First Impressions I can tell you now is very good it's extremely
quick smooth with 120 hertz battery life of course that's going to be covered those charge times more
on those cameras all of that good stuff will be up and coming so make sure you do subscribe
and stay tuned for my final full review of this very promising indeed phone the honor magic 5 Pro
