As an Indian, I have equal trust and distrust for both Chinese and USA phones. I love Google's aesthetics and design language the most but hate Google and meta from my guts. No one company can beat Google in privacy violation, personal data collection.

Everybody who has tried a Huawei, and especially a Mate 20 Pro, has still a soft spot for it 😢 The problem I think is that nobody wants to spend so much money for a (almost perfect) phone, when the competition, like Samsung ore Google, are much more trustable and arguably have better software. But one day I'll surely buy again a Huawei/Honor device...

I got a feeling that America would just keep banning any competition that comes up as a challenger to their smartphone leadership.

I use an honor magic 5 lite. Its a fantastic phone and is way better than the iphone 11 that i used to own

Nice video I bought myself an Honor Magic 4 Pro when it released over a year ago and am very happy with it. However it was a long thought process for me cuz I had the same doubts you explain in your video. To be honest I only bought it because of the nice aspect ratio and a good deal (700€ warehouse deal) and because I was so let down by my last Sony. My experience however was amazing and according to gsmarena it's a brand that grows currently really fast in the west. There's now even a German Honor Office which you can see growth in real time over linked-in. They hire like crazy

Best phone I ever had was Honor 8. If I wanted a function it almost always turned out that it was already built-in. Software was epic with knucklegestures. Loved the finger sensor on the back of the phone that was lightning responsive. Had it for 4 years and by then it struggled to open up chrome because the lack of software updates and also of course the hardware itself. Tried to find a replacer... never did.

Using P60 Pro in the States. Love it.

Loved your presentation and the important points covered. Hoping to see more of your reviews/content on android police.

Great video! 🔥 Will you be reviewing the Honor Magic V3?

My current phone is a disappointing pixel 6 pro. Can't wait to swap to the Honor Magic 5 Pro next year.

Absolutely i would like to have one of honor's mobiles, whin it comes to trust, you say it best (if you trust Google, apple, Microsoft, Amazon ) you can trust honor I've been mate fan since mate 7, i used mate 7 8 9 10, my wife is using mate 20 Looking forward to use honor magic 6 or any phone that fits my needs Cheers.

After 15 years with iphone, i finally switch to the Honor. Its quite impressive how good it is compare to ios.

I both used Huawei and Honor specifically the recent Honor 90 and the misconception about trackers is weird. Huawei phones are filled with chinese trackers (I checked it via Adguard DNS) and the Honor phone doesn't have one. Both devices are Global market not chinese region based on my test.

A prejudiced person is like a man, who has full vision, but refuses to see.

My Huawei mate 10 was one of the best phones I had. Battery life after 2 years excellent, fast and snappy and it was excellent cameras for the time. I really loved that phone. Then I got the Samsung note 9 whith the exynos and got very disappointed. Kirin chips perform fantastic without being the fastest in benchmarks. Real life use is very different with results on benchmarks.

I used Huawei P30 Lite for almost 5yrs. It is still one of the best phones I have ever used. Even though it wasn't waterproof, I constantly used it during heave rainfall, listening to music, the back glass is cracked because I dropped it towards the end of it's like, the charging port broke towards the end, and after 4.5yrs of rough usage it died. (If I repair the charging port, it will still run). If not for the Google ban on Huawei, I would have never steered away from Huawei ever in my life. I now use a Pixel 6A, the camera is AMAZING, but the battery life sucks, never had that problem with my Huawei. I do wish for Huawei to be back.

amazing Video, I really miss that mate 20 pro phone

Never

I use a honor magic 5 pro and Samsung a54 😊

You mention that the phone is "under a grand" truth is it's around half the price of the similarly spec'd S23 Ultra, has better screen, better battery, faster charging both wired and wireless, 3d face unlock, better desktop mode, the OS is great and does what I need it to do, better cameras < 10x zoom (spend more than a day playing with the cameras and you'll probably find that out!) I've had 4 Huawei devices including the Mate 40 pro, the Xiaomi Mi 11 ultra and now the Magic5 Pro. The Magic's camera are like a hybrid between the clarity of the Mate and the DSLR qualities of the 11 Ultra, so to me they are unbeatable especially at £680. Camera isn't perfect, no camera is (sorry for the spoiler Apple, Samsung and Google fans), binned raw on on the main sensor isn't great - Huawei gave us full res raw on all three lenses - that's something Honor could fix in an instant. Let's not beat around the bush, we all know that American Tech companies' shareholders were taking a hit because of Huawei's ever increasing market share, that's why they were banned - this is the 21st century, we can disassemble software and hardware very easily to trace any nefarious/malicious intent on the behalf of the manufacturer, not a single shred of evidence has been put forward.....wonder why? Value for money wise, and this is what you should be reporting, it cannot be touched.

At the time I had one of the best phones iPhone 6 plus..... unfortunately or fortunately I needed a phone for a short period and was given a Huawei P30 unbelievable camera and awesome all-round problem with Huawei was they got ridiculously expensive.... Still have a p20 lite kept as backup phone along with iPhone 6.

Im skeptical about the its Software and ecosystem becasue theres no way it could replicate it plus the amazing camera capability

Yes!

im looking to buying one is it a good phone for games

Here's the thing, i have huawei p20 pro and honor x9a. Will at&t/verizon ever give me a cellular service? Just wondering if i could still use my phones even only for 1month in time for my trasition to the US.

No, you can only trust Samdung and Crapple.

They don't support updates for long time and there are always bugs and camera is not top top notch as Huawei is. Still it's good phone if they give along term of os and security updates and ise better ui than magic os hope they understand that and doesn't insist on chinese ui for west and other regions where they sell their phones

The real question 😂 can u trust us politics

I trust Huawei 100 times more then ANY FROM USA. Such a stupid question.

sadly for you HUAWEI Is still the camera king Everywhere in the world and dxo mark.

I bought honor magic 5 pro last month for 699£ in Liverpool Before i had pixel 7 bought last year for 599£ Damn 🔥, the difference is like earth and sky. No way, i hated pixel camera

Nope

That part about you can trust Google, Microsoft and Apple with your data? Funny as hell you should become a comedian.

The number of times this guy said "The West" in this video is obnoxious

No software updates...

No

No they betrayed the consumer it's kind of like a cheating girlfriend... They got caught red handed. You would be dumb to take her back😭💔

Can you trust Apple 🍎 phones ?

Hell Yes

I do not trust them.

Based on your statements in this video, I feel you are under-qualified to make statements around data security and implications of data leaks to Chinese vs. data leaks to western orgs.
