😮😮 MagicOS is super solid. Desktop Mode is outstanding. CPU performance meets other flagships. Cameras are excellent. Yep, another excellent device in 2023. This year is insane. Also, special shout out to the FIND X6 PRO's bRoll footage.

Took the plunge and received mine today. I'm getting 5G here in MD. I installed Nova Launcher and everything is perfect. The in hand feel puts the S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 shame. I'm getting the same feeling when I used the Huawei Mate 20. Honor hit a grand slam with this.

Recent subscriber because of my interest in the device, so thanks for being one of the few tech reviewers to deliver it so eloquently! Does seem to be the most LG type phone I've seen since their demise, even down to the use of the front ToF sensor for gesture control! Here in the UK it seems a really good buy, less than $900 and with free watch, free headphones and 6 months screen protection. Might just hang to see what the pixel 8 pro offers in terms of camera performance as it is rumoured to use the same sensor.

2:22 I'm not sure why you're surprised. Did you not research the specs of the phone for the script and see that it has 3D Face scans just like iPhones? That camera is a 3D Time of flight camera, essentially the same thing as Apple Face ID. That's why it works in the dark. It's not surprising at all.

I'm aware of how well it's supposed to work it doesn't change the fact that it is surprising and refreshing to be able to enjoy Tech when it works the exact way it was supposed to. not every phone has it.
