User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

Although my Magic5 was not a bad phone, it was not always stable. Glitches, especially when google apps were used, were more common than exception. Also, the total lack of decent software support was also a deal-breaker for me. No decent security patches (only quarterly) and no major updates of any kind, at least not for the EU market. Although it was advertised that it would get one major upgrade (from 12 to 13) I never saw that one coming on my device, even when by that time Android 14 was nearing release. You could say it was a device related issue but I had two, bought 4 months apart from each-other. The MagicOS is also not my cup of tea. It's still the same old one as in older Huawei devices with the exception of the so called "large widget folders" and maybe some other slight differences.

            Had this phone a week now. As an average user, all these negative comments about CPU, 2020 Cameras etc are as usual not necessary. This phone is excellent from build quality to user experience. For average day to day use it is perfectly capable. I believe 99% of users will be perfectly satisfied and very happy.

              It's incredible how in 2025 there still 5MP cameras around there, it's too bad and can't be defended by "cost cutting". Technology from 2004.

                  kvlada, 15 Feb 2025Definitely didn't expect Magic7 Lite to be such a down... moreThank you for your Review. I searched youtube for reviews but couldnt find many " opinions " on it. I was really hesitant whether I should get it or not, its for 280 euro where i live, 512gb.
                  Thanks to your Review I will look for another Mid Range phone, Most probably Poco X7 pro or something. I was seriously doubting the performance of the CPU, as the Chip is the same as the one in my 3 years old phone.
                  Poco x7 pro seems promising, but the cameras are okayish. Looks like that how they managed to keep it cheap.

                    Definitely didn't expect Magic7 Lite to be such a downer! After three days of using it, here are my impressions:

                    The good:

                    - Comes with factory-installed "liquid" screen protector.

                    - Kinda waterproof (washing is possible but not full submersion).

                    - 512GB Memory / 8GB RAM model is somewhat cheap, around $250-300.

                    - Stereo speakers (headpiece works as speaker).

                    - There's a system shortcut to turn on flashlight by double clicking volume down button

                    - Curved OLED + Always-on screen, not something you usually see in this price range

                    - Apparently the screen glass is better than usual, so it should *in theory* withstand drops and impacts. I didn't want to test it myself, because I didn't get my phone for free like those Youtube reviewers.


                    The bad:

                    - Something's wrong with battery charging. Battery charge works at 5W speed, can't seem to work any faster. I've tried a Samsung fast charger, a Huawei charger, it still charges the same. From 50% to 100% in over 3 hours. While you're using the phone, it doesn't charge at all, like, it even loses percentage while being connected to the charger. Oh, and the charger doesn't come in the box, so you have no idea where to charge it on...

                    - MagicOS in 2025 is absolute garbage. Two-sided notification screen, what the hell? I don't want iPhone interface, that's why I bought Android. I can't choose shade options. Why are volume and backlight intensity sliders always there? Keyboard choice button doesn't show in gesture navigation mode. Some options are missing from settings menu. Some older apps which worked perfectly on Samsung and Motorola are behaving weird on MagicOS. And there are plenty of other tiny annoying things that I didn't expect from Honor.

                    - Automatic backlight correction doesn't always work correctly. It always set it too dim in low light.

                    - Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is EXTREMELY sluggish on resource intensive apps like Google Maps. You won't get more than 3 fps. If you only watch videos and write messages it'll be probably okay.

                    - You can't turn off RAM swapping. If you have 8 GB of RAM, then 8 GB of memory is always allocated to swapping out app data. This could be an issue if you have 256GB of memory, as that could possibly wear out the flash chip in few years.

                    - Fingerprint reader is placed too low. It's hard to reach with one hand. They should've gone for a power button capacitive fingerprint reader instead.

                    - Camera capsule is too wide. You can't see more than 2-3 notification icons. If you turn off battery percentage you can't see the percentage on notification screen (most normal phones show battery % on notification shade).

                    - Camera opening has 4 holes, but only 2 holes are actual cameras, 1 hole is LED flash, and the last hole is dummy. Designer guy who did this just stopped caring.

                    - This is a low-cost, non-Samsung phone, so I would expect no software support at all. Maybe 2 or 3 security updates for the next 12 months, and nothing after it. But that's just what you get for your money.

                    - No 3.5mm headphone jack. I'd expect low-cost phones to have this jack, but I guess Honor thought this wasn't a low-cost phone.

                    All in all, it's a very mixed bag.

                    I've been using many Honor phones, ranging from 2018 to 2020, and they've performed flawlessly and had really no problem with them. Trump kicking Huawei out must've made them take a turn for the worse...

                                Is SD 6 gen 1 worth it if I use it for Right aligned game?

                                  I have bought it yesterday in my country (France) to replace a very unperformant Redmi 13C and I am very satisfied by the performance and the smoothness of this device.

                                    Itech, 01 Feb 2025This phone is not bad to be honest but but nowdays Chinese ... moreif only the redmi turbo 4 was available at the same price...this phone is now at 300 at amazon, while the x7 pro (aka eu redmi turbo) is pricer and it is a downgraded redmi turbo 4 with less mah and no notification led...this at 300 atm make a better option compared to poco at 370 considering this one has much better build quality and camera...

                                      I've just bought one. The battery life is just disappointing. It went down 15% in one hour of usage. That never happened to me with other phones. I remember setting up my M15 for the first time and after one hour of configuring it, the battery went down like 5%.

                                        litteraly the Same as x60 pro ans x9b 😭😭🙏🏻
                                        but not the same released date .. 🙏🏻
