Have got it since yesterday.
At the moment, very happy. It reminds me a lot of my previous Huawei but with official Google Services and many more improvements.

Good looking phone considerably cheaper than s23 ultra. But I'll stick with my cheaper 7 pro.

Apparently it's major updates like the update from A12 to A13 that take longer than usual

I will change my Chinese Mate 30 Pro 5G for this new Magic 5 Pro.
I want to continue having practically the same as a Huawei but with certified Google Services and without losing photographic quality.

Pre-ordered my Honor yesterday. Hopefully I get it in a few days time. I thought I could deal with the problems that come with OriginOS on my Vivo X90 Pro+ (imported from China) but it's rough. Notifications from many apps like Telegram don't work in dark mode. Can't pay using my phone (NFC) because the X90 Pro+ is not on the certified phones list of the banking app - and it will never be certified because it's not meant to be used outside China. Battery life is rather unimpressive as well. Camera on the other hand is fantastic, and I do know I'm downgrading when it comes to that with the Honor Magic5 Pro... As much as I love taking pics with my phones, I've come to realize it's not the most important aspect of a smartphone. Thanks for reading.

Dxo mark ranked 1 camera phone, however gsmarena shows artefacts in camera test around every dark object? How to understand this? One of the two is liar.

While Sammy made the update available for S22 Ultra in Octobera, Honor started to push this in March which it's not OK since the A13 was released on August

[deleted post]For that price you can't buy anything better. Not even 600£ FFS that's a really good deal... good catch mate!

Mate 30 Pro, 14 Apr 2023And couldn't that throttling issue be fixed by an OTA ... moreIt seems something that came from the hardware / building part. They can launch an OTA to downgrade the GPU speed but that would affect a lot in the final performance.
This Honor is nothing like Huawei reborn unfortunately, it's much worse. Huawei never made such mistakes.

notafanboy, 14 Apr 2023Stop spreading false information man. A13 is already availa... moreEverything I have said is true except because it got Android 13 in April 1st, okay so basically 8 months after Pixel, 7 months after OnePlus, 6 months after Samsung and 3-4 months after Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo... even much later than Motorola which was the worst updating but Honor is way worse.
They said it will receive Android 13 in October 2022 (there is even a GSMArena press release) they got it 6 months later... it took 12 entire months since its launch to get the first real OS update, that's shameful for a mid range but for their flagship costing 1.200€ lol it just shows they care 0 about support. Be wise and use rationale, you can't defend this no matter how much you love Honor. Their support is tr4sh.

Anonymous, 12 Apr 2023Honor has no focus on battery life. See S23U 5000mAh batter... moreAnd sum up the GPU throttling problems no one else has with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 except for this Honor. That means bad QC internal build or bad cooling - possibily both if we look where this brand comes from. GSMArena said it in their review so there is no reason they would invent that.
Oh and the Magic 4 Pro is still without any Android 13 update, so the support Honor gives is 0 to none. I mean no one asks to monthly updates but they promised Android 13 in October 2022 and in April 2023, 6 months later, there is no update. In May 2023 Android 14 beta will start while their 1200$ flagship from 2022 has the 2021 software. It's shameful.
