So I decide what to wear and what not to wear!! The world doesn't revolve around you friend! I'm not interested in facial unlocking, if I want to use that I buy an iPhone and not a copycat

Based on reviews ive seen from rando... moreFind a way to get Chinese version, then the battery will no longer bother you, although the global version also isn't something that let you down in middle of day but yeah it is a loss in battery to almost every competitor in this field.
But 2y os update for such good phone is not what I ever choose for my self.

GSMArena, big thanks for your review. So now we can have an overall conclusion:
GPU Throttling problems because it has a bad cooling system. Mix that up with this ugly design, lame battery with 109h endurance rating, even more lame given the fact they boast about the "new silicon carbon battery", cameras are very good but still not the best, and video and selfie are far from the best, it has optical sensor (like 200$ phones) not ultrasonic sensor and the 0 software support Honor offers (Honor Magic 4 Pro from April 2022 is still with Android 12 in March 2023) and you got... A BIG FAIL of a phone!

Aierlan, 14 Mar 2023It's 3 OS updates and 5 years of security patches. Gsmarena confirmed it in their interv... moreMaybe spiritual upgrades but not real upgrades. As the Magic 4 Pro launched in April 2022 is still with Android 12 in March 13 while most flagship phones got Android 13 a half a year ago!

Great to see that superwide is not of course thing, even with the performance of other cameras being great.
lvl2 - great lens, lvl3 - hi res and great lens, this is like lvl1.

I think on balance of probabilities GSMArena have got it wrong by saying it is optical. Maybe. But I'm suspicious they are wrong.

Anonymous, 14 Mar 2023yeah right , it's so ordinary it top dxomark chart in camera and display . get yourself ... moreLiterally doesn't matter, a gold-sprayed turd also looks nice, in the end this phone is failing where it matters, for battery life and sustained performance. You're better off getting one of the other good phones, there's not much difference between these displays and cameras anyways.

Snapdragon 8 gen 2 is a great chipset in any other device. Battery is poor compared to other snapdragon 8 gen2 devices and it has the throttling of a folding phone. That pill isore at the top of the screen needs to go too. Would love to see how long the battery lasts if ever the ray tracing capability gets used. Won't be getting one of these.

Also hav... moreYes. MIUI is fine, no bugs, nothing, everything is so fast and smooth. Battery life very good, display is perfect. Just true flagship, like many reviews said.
