Anonymous, 07 Mar 2023I was talking in general. Who said anything about Samsung? ... moreNo, it was a normal example. What's so hard to understand here? You say DXOMark reviews are "paid" (without any proof btw) but then get automatically offended when I say the same about garbo yewtoobers like MKBiasedHD. Get a taste of your own medicine sonny. Facts are, Honor is #1 currently. Cry about it.
As for Honor vs Vivo, I already said I'm getting the Honor soon. Does that make you upset?

By writing "Samdung" it's obvious you're just a blind fanboy - ironically your name is "notafanboy" while you're the opposite as you always rant with that Korean brand.
Real life reviews and comparisons tell 1000 times more than Dxoscam which makes paid reviews as it's even stated in Android Authority and Android Central. Someone putting a comparison video that has 20k subscribers is not MKBHD type of thing so stop with these rants.
According to Dxoscam, the Vivo X90 Pro+ is not even a top 10 camera. Do you agree with that? Because if you agree with #1 you must agree with #12 as well. It's not that you only have to agree with what fits you the best. Huh??

I've seen a couple of comparisons and the camera is very good but definetly not the best and #1 like Dxomark said with their paid review... it has some weak points like video recording and some HDR pics have strange artifacts. Selfie camera is neither top tier. The screen is neither the best, resolution is FHD+ and BOE screens are not that good. The only pro is the dimming but the double hole removes a lot of useful screen space and it makes very to watch content with a huge black hole in the left side... also the new battery technology is only used in China. Why it's not in the Global version?
Also once you start a video, you can't switch between the back cameras... I was expecting more from this phone, given the fact is very similar to Honor Magic 4 Pro I've expected more improvements, charging speed even down went from 100W to 65W wired and 100W to 50W wireless. I fear for the support this Honor will have given the fact the Honor Magic 4 Pro is still running Android 12 and that for a 1.200€ flagship is completely not acceptable. I won't buy this phone.

Super Android 22, 06 Mar 2023Better screen, nope (at best its a tie except samsungs scre... moreThe S23 Ultra has actually 32-bit audio recording and playback (the S23 Ultra speakers can play up to 32-bit 384kHz while the Magic 5 Pro remains at 24-bit 192kHz) other than that it truly has USB 3.2 unlike this Honor, also with direct DP support but doesn't make too much sense having Wireless DeX capabilities.
The problem with Honor is that their support is very weak, as of 6th March 2023 the Honor Magic 4 Pro is still with Android 12 while even 200$ Samsung midranges got Android 13 and the premium phones got it 5-6 months ago, the design is subjective but that back cover is the ugliest design I have ever seen.
I agree this phone is very good and as of March 2023 it's the only real rival the Samsung S23 Ultra has, as all of the other phones are way too weak to compare, like the Xiaomi 13 Pro with so many weak points. But it's a pity the optical zoom is still x3.5 it should be at least x5 and that Honor's support is basically zero as their 2022 flagship has still Android 12 but for the rest good phone, not worth the buck though but for 800-900€ looks like a good purchase for someone who doesn't want Samsung either for whatsoever reason.
Ben's gadgets just dropped the first real life comparison between the Samsung S23 Ultra and the Honor Magic 5 Pro and photography-wise it looks like a tie, it depends on someone's preferences to pick one over the another one. The Samsung wins in zoom (obviously as having x10 optical) and video-wise Samsung wins both with front and back cameras, but for the rest it's just personal preference.

A honest Huawei user, 05 Mar 2023Keep telling that to yourself, yet no matter how hard you s... moreBetter screen, nope (at best its a tie except samsungs screen aint doing 2160 pwm dimming), i dont think samsung can do 24 bit audio recording, quality of speakers we wont know till its actually released. Design is completely subjective, i love circular centred island, i think the galaxy phones since s20 have been disgusting (the s10 was the last good looking Samsung phone but again, thats purely an opinion).
Once the phone is actually released with actual public software on it then we can see if the camera and video quality is worse, its got theoretically better sensors in the magic 5. Also proper secure dual unlock features, the magic 5 is lighter and smaller yet has a bigger screen, has far better battery tech and materials with better charging, better gps postitioning/nfc features/certification, screen protection, theoretically both have usb 3.1 except magic 5 has DP input for monitors (i dont get why gsm give samsung usb 3.2 and everyone else 3.1 when a. SoCs support usb 3.1 gen 2 and b. 3.1 gen 2 and 3.2 gen 2 are essentially the same with same speed data transfer)
Also the magic 5 ultimate is coming out too with a few better upgrades vs the pro so in reality the only thing samsung has over the magic 5 is a stylus, ok, and 4 years software support (even though most people get the phones on 2 year contracts so defeats the purpose of wanting more than 3 years of updates and thats if the carrier pushes the updates out).
Also samsung has a budget probably 10 times that of honor (wasnt even its own company 10 years ago) and samsung have probably a minimum of 10 times the staff vs honor yet cant make a phone thats generations ahead but also cheaper than the competition (supposedly the magic5 ultimate is releasing for €900 which would less than s23 money, dunno if thats correct though).
Also the ultimate supposedly comes with usb C earbuds/headphones, samsung comes with a cable that doesnt work with a lot of chargers (specially ones that are a couple years old).

Anonymous, 05 Mar 2023The best phone in the world at any price, first in DXOMark ... moreKeep telling that to yourself, yet no matter how hard you scream at the top of your lungs, the S23 Ultra is still a better choice at the end of the day. Being better in most face to face aspects, better screen, better audio, extremely better design as this is uglier than rotten meat, better video recording, zoom, selfie, much better software with real updates (Honor Magic 4 Pro from April 2022 is still with Android 12 in March 2023 while S22 Ultra got Android 13 in November 2022) and so on...
Oh and Dxomark is good for you to make you dream but Ben's reviews just dropped the first real life camera comparison between Honor 5 Pro and Samsung S23 Ultra (Xiaomi 13 Pro in the same comparison as well) and the winner is the S23 Ultra and even the Xiaomi 13 Pro wins in some backgrounds. This Honor is far from what Huawei was one day... so not worth the buck, like it or not.
95% of the comments from the comparison are saying they expected much more given DXO gave the Honor the 1st rank and it's obvious they're paid as it has been proven not only it doesn't have the best camera, that it underperforms as well. At the end of the day no 1" sensor so paid reviews won't hide the truth. The truth is shown with real life reviews.

The best phone in the world at any price, first in DXOMark in both camera and display, silicon carbon battery tech, displayport out, the best OLED with the highest frequency dimming, 3 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates promised. They can only improve the charging speed, add WiFi 7 which is shameful to omit as OnePlus has it and at 1200 euros it should have 4 Android updates.
Apart from the S-Pen, this makes the Samsung S23 Ultra look like a joke. I still went with the OnePlus 11 as in North America this is not available and the S23 Ultra is a really poor value.
