27 February 2023
This is an all-around flagship, but it's not shy about aiming for first place in the smartphone camera competition.

    ViVo, 27 Feb 2023Have I made a mistake in getting the S23 ultra tomorrow? Hu... moreI just preordered Xiaomi 13 Pro, dont want wait months for this phone, too late Honor.

      How does Honor behave with updates?

        pocketbook89, 28 Feb 2023pretty much perfect but having that sloping edge screen is ... morePainful?? The curved edges literally reduces discomfort when swiping from the sides, that's why it's curved LMAO

        And yes I know you didn't mean it literally

          From the photo samples the camera looks to be quite impressive, probably even the best I've seen tbh. It's unbelievable the amount of fine details and shades it's able to capture 🤯

            pretty much perfect but having that sloping edge screen is painfulll...even samsung phase the edge out from their s23 models while s23 ultra have the very minimal edge screen... too bad

              Anton-, 27 Feb 2023sony sensor and ultrasonic screen fingerprint, this phone j... more2 years of os updates. Are you ready for it? After 2 years it will be brick. Also I read back camera cutout is covered with plastic.

                So according to all the reviews, Honor is the best thing that can be bought from the flagships, and the reviewers do not have the full version available. ONEPLUS 11 will still prove to compete with it in some parameters, but Samsung 23 and iPhone 14 will only be bought by fans of the brands. Honor is ahead of the competition approx. Fast forward 2 years already and only in March will they send the real flagship of the brand to the market, so they will confirm it firmly.

                  I want buy one

                        Txindoki, 27 Feb 2023Yes. That's why Honor phone has 5G and Play servicesCould easily be one in secret.

                          Have I made a mistake in getting the S23 ultra tomorrow? Huawei was my go to phone with the mate 20 pro until US-assholes did them dirty. This phone has google play services and reminds me of Huawei at their peak. Hot damn!

                            Considering the pricing of the Xiaomi 13 pro in Europe the pricing of the magic 5 pro looks actually quite reasonable. €100 and you also get double the storage and a slightly stronger all round camera setup (much better telephoto sensor and better selfie camera with 4k selfie video). The f1.6 versus f1.9 aperture shoild also help to compensate for the slightly smaller main sensor. Unfortunately thougg it will be still quite a while before this is available for sale so will have to wait for reviews

                              UltraHD, 27 Feb 2023It's..... Really ugly in person..Stop talking about yourself. T_T

                                The shape of the camera ring looks like a bulging soda cap before you open it

                                  It's like having a Huawei but with Google Services officially.

                                  Very similar to the Mate 50 Pro device:
