Welcome. In front of me I have the brand new Huawei Made 50 Pro and today I will go over unboxing along with a quick
0:08
overview of this phone. So anyway let's just pop it straight open just so we can see how it looks like
0:21
There we go. Okay, so right here we got a 66 watt charger
1:41
It's kind of hard to see through the little paper, but you can see it right here in this
1:46
outline. So that's a 66 watt charger, and let's just put it aside. And we got a type A to type C cable
1:55
So there's the type A, and here's the type C. And we'll get a type C. We'll get a type A
2:00
So that's all we get in the box, which is surprisingly decent amount for a flagship nowadays
2:09
Now, as you can see, this is the orangish color right here
2:13
I'm still trying to figure out if this is actual like some leather or plastic
2:20
But honestly, I cannot tell. Anyway, let's just get a look at the OS
2:26
So right here, we are running... if I can actually quickly find it
2:34
Oh, come on. So this is the EMUI 13, which is international
2:40
though China is running Harmony OS 3.0, so they do have a little bit of differences between
2:45
So I assume this will be the EMUI 13, because I'm not in China, obviously
2:51
Anyway, let's just quickly go through the setup. You can get a look at how the display actually looks like
2:55
It does have curved edges. so you can see it is rounded right here at the both ends which personally I do like
3:05
what I don't like is Huawei telling me that I need to sign into Wi-Fi because
3:11
отп you are way I don't shouldn't need to be forced into it I don't give a shit that
3:16
you want to collect data collected between your China users I'm not Chinese I don't
3:22
I shouldn't be subjected to this so yeah Now I do have a little bit of a problem with Huawei
3:30
It is a scummy company in general with weird ties to government and other stuff
3:38
So my overview of this device might be a little bit clouded by this
3:44
so forgive me for that. But maybe having a little bit broader idea, perspective
3:51
of not just a device, but the company might give you just a, I don't know, better decision making there
3:57
Anyway, I guess I'm going to connect to a network. It's not like I have a choice
4:04
We need a who needs my data, right? There we go. I can connect to Wi-Fi, or I have to connect Wi-Fi
4:21
but it doesn't even nag me twice about setting up some kind of protection on my device
4:25
I mean, why would they care? It's unlike the device is protected. They're gathering all the data
4:29
They don't care if it's protected or not. Fantastic. Now, another stupid thing that I hate about Huawei
4:36
is their idiotic approach of copying everything that Apple does, but everything that Apple does shittily
4:42
So one of these things is signing into your Huawei ID, which I'm comparing it to Apple
4:47
just because it's literally presented the same way, and it's the equivalent of it
4:53
So sign in. If you don't want to, you have to go through these
4:57
hoop jumping by going to don't have a Huawei ID or forget your password
5:01
without any kind of mention that by pressing here you can actually
5:05
not set it up at all. What? And the reverse psychology also
5:13
by having the confirmation on reverse side. Brain aneurism. Do I have to use these There we go Obviously all the trash gathering data protocols are enabled
5:34
like personalized aids, statistics. There we go. Let's just quickly go through this
5:46
Alright, another one. Update software automatically, right, enable and continue. You don't want it
5:53
don't want it it's like right here in the text like are you fn kidding me another stupidity here now I can actually finish no no no no
6:09
never mind there we go so now we actually get to see the home screen it took a
6:19
little bit longer than I should have but what can I do it's
6:22
Huawei. It's as dumb as it can get when it comes down to setups. So, they even copied Apple
6:32
like swipe-ups. Great plagiarism. I love it. And now one thing that I'll also mention
6:41
I did use to own a Mate 20 Pro, so a little bit behind. I recently upgraded it, but the
6:48
reason I'm mentioning it is because this is a very very... similar to mate 20 pro in terms of just the overall design of the phone along with the
7:00
OS so it is running a newer version because it's running MMI MIMI 13 but they still
7:07
keep the stupid things that bugged me personally like the split of the control center
7:14
I think it's even control called control center which is just can you can you
7:20
not be as obvious about copying Apple. Like, come on. So there we go. We have split between
7:26
tagles right here, the control center and the notifications. And depending on which side
7:31
you pull it from, you will get a different thing, right? It used to be before one of the updates
7:38
that you had it together like you do on every other Android. Google did make this change at one
7:43
point but I think they reverted it because I guess probably not many people liked it. Myself included
7:50
I absolutely despise this. So, especially if you're using gestures and some third-party application
7:57
when you have a swipe down for notifications, usually the, it will just give you the option for notifications in a launcher
8:05
It doesn't give you separation between notifications and toggles. It's just considering it to be one, at least the launcher that I used to be that way
8:20
So because of that, I was unable to get what I actually wanted, which were the toggles
8:25
because my swipe down was activating the notifications instead. And before, obviously, it would work because it was just one and the same in a way
8:36
So there we go. Now, to actually go into the specs of this device, it is surprising because it is running the newest hardware
8:44
So something must have changed with how Huawei is allowed to do business
8:50
because this is running a snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 though here comes the caveat
8:55
it's a 4G 1 I didn't even know that there is a 4G
9:01
snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 I guess the more you know so anyway although
9:09
because I think the 5G 4G is tied to the processor that's kind of why I'm adding
9:16
this on but it could be that it's actually not that's why maybe it's running 4G
9:20
whatever it's hilarious that a phone that has been released basically September 6 of
9:25
2022 is running a 4g instead of 5 even though technically 5G is just a scam in a way
9:34
which I will touch upon later on a little bit just because I guess it would be nice
9:42
to inform people to probably not overspend for something that they might not be
9:46
actually able to utilize so anyway let's jump straight to it to actual specs right here
9:52
Display. This is a OLED display, 1 billion colors, 120 hertz refresh rate
9:58
It's a 6.7 inch display with 91.3% screen-to-body ratio and 423 pixels per inch
10:05
Pretty good display, nothing bad to say about it. The only thing that bugs me about it
10:10
is the hideous notch that they still decided to keep after five years
10:16
Actually, no, not five years. Three years? I mean, what I'm referring to is the mate 20 pro that I used to use
10:23
The notch is as big if not even bigger. So it's not like we don't have technologies to substitute this
10:33
Like, oh, I don't know. Let's just say right here. The fold has an under display, which also, I mean, I do understand this is a little bit more expensive device over this one
10:45
But there's also Aksin, ZTE Aksin, I don't remember exactly, I think V-40, something like that
10:53
which has also under camera It does it even better than Fault and costs half the price So there is at this point not really any kind of good explanation why they decided to go with the stupid outdated notch that no one likes
11:10
They also have a under-display fingerprint sensor, so they could have probably somehow substituted
11:16
the notch for just matchless design and would have been significantly better
11:23
Now moving on to other things like the cameras, which will probably be the main selling point of this phone
11:31
As you can see, we have a quadruple camera setup. So we have a 50 megapixel white sensor with a F1.4, 64 megapixel periscope telephoto, F3.5
11:45
It has also PDAF stabilization, right? Auto-focus, there we go. so that's focusing
11:55
13 megapixel ultra wide and on my spec list that's basically it
12:05
Oh these cheeky s. So this I guess that's not a camera
12:17
Yeah, that's not a camera. Now on the camera. I mean on this camera, it kind of looks like that might be a lens right here at the center
12:27
But if I look at it myself, it's just designed to reflect light in like a circular pattern
12:35
It's kind of like a, for instance, brushed aluminum would be in circles. It kind of makes it look like there is a sensor at the middle
12:41
There isn't. So this is just a, honestly, a blatant scam right here to make you think you have a quad camera setup
12:48
Now, to be completely honest, the triple camera setup that we have right
12:52
here is pretty okay apart from maybe the 13 megapixel ultra wide that could have been
12:57
significantly better but other than that 50 megapixel wide and the 64 periscope that's just insane
13:05
so yeah you're getting pretty decent photo quality right here i mean obviously it's wawa so that's
13:12
primarily there right now the only thing that they can really try to do have really really good
13:18
cameras and hopefully they can win in this aspect but other than that that
13:22
this phone isn't winning any other awards. So, now, continuing at the front
13:30
we have a 13 megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and we also have the
13:36
for the face scanning the time-of-flight 3D sensor, the depth biometric sensor
13:42
So that's kind of why this notch is so stupidly big, but like I said
13:47
substitute it for something probably less secure and remove the fricking notch
13:52
and make the phone look just much more modern, along with the 2022 releases
14:00
The design here hasn't changed for several years now, and it just looks right now, in my opinion, outdated
14:08
Now, like I mentioned before, we do have a Snapdragon 8 plus Gen 1
14:14
which at the time of recording this, I think it is the newest one
14:18
There is about to be a Snapchat 8 Gen 2, but I don't think any phone has got the treatment with that processor
14:27
So this is, at the moment, the highest processor you can get, the best one
14:31
which is also what is being powered or what is powering the fold for, if you're wondering
14:38
So at the moment, the best processor. Actually, I mean, I mean take that back
14:46
Apple will most likely have the best processor. but this is for Android
14:51
It's the best. So I also mentioned we have only 4G connectivity right here
14:57
for reasons that World doesn't want Huawei to have 5G because Huawei not very trusted with people's data
15:07
So bad China, bad Winnie DePoo. So there we go. So phones like this are getting kind of treatment of no 5G for you
15:18
Now we do have also 8 gigs of RAM that is powering this device
15:23
It should be, well, not should be, but will be plenty enough RAM to power this device
15:29
And we have a couple different storage versions, so we have 256 at the very start
15:35
and 512 gigs of storage at the high end. And these are only two options, to be honest
15:42
So, yeah. Now popping out the SD tray, oh, SD tray, my bad
15:48
Sim tray. You will see that we have a SIM card right here and on the other side we have nano memory. Now this is the Huawei's like
15:58
proprietary nano memory. Honestly, they should have changed it already to something else. Not very many people are interested in this garbage
16:06
Maybe in China, but I have no clue and for instance Europe. I haven't encountered a single person that used to have a Huawei device or still has
16:14
that decided to purchase nanom memory now Now majority of them would most likely like to pop in a normal SD card like this one a typical run SD card that almost any other device takes But no Huawei decided to be special I think Snowflakes
16:33
and make their own proprietary memory that only fits with their phones
16:36
Making it kind of useless because one of the benefits of SD cards
16:40
is that you can pop it into, as an example, adapters like this
16:46
You would have to have a new adapter for nano-memory in this case. you can pop in into laptops that sometimes support SD cards, other phones, but no, they needed to be special and put their nano memory
17:00
So just mistake after mistake here. So with that being said, last thing to mention is the battery size right here
17:11
So we have a 4,700 million power battery with a 66 watt charger like I mentioned before, which that's pretty good
17:20
And we also have a fast wireless charging at 50 watts, which is also stupidly fast right here
17:27
specifically for wireless charging, so that's nice. And 5 watt reverse wireless charging
17:32
So again, if you have something like buds that can be wirelessly charged
17:36
you can just lap them on the back of the phone and charge them up. Phil L mentioned you do need to turn that on in the battery settings
17:42
because the phone doesn't detect it automatically. So yeah. So anyway, to finish this off, like I said, I'm not the biggest fan of Huawei just because of their practices, specifically, also their ties
18:02
But trying to be objective here on top of that, this phone costs almost $1,200
18:11
Now for that price You can get a Samsung Galaxy S-22 Ultra
18:18
That will come with things that this phone doesn't come Like for instance
18:23
Google Play services Now objectively it will have probably at this point
18:28
A little bit crappier camera quality Although this might be just purely objective
18:34
So possibly they could both be taking fantastic photos And just one will be the other phone
18:40
in some cases and vice versa though I'm guessing right here. So honestly, I'm not going to really count in the camera
18:47
but in terms of Google Play services, that is probably one of the most important things to a lot of people
18:52
In terms of charging, this phone will be better. And what else is there to actually compare
19:01
Processor-wise, I guess this is actually better, surprisingly. But what I'm getting at is for $1,200 bucks
19:08
this is a little bit inflated price for no reason considering this phone doesn't even support
19:16
5G now like I mentioned 5G is a little bit of a scam
19:20
so even if for instance you pay extra for 5G and you check it
19:26
for instance like in your status bar it says yeah you're connected to 5G you can check it
19:30
using a code and you might just as well be connected to a fake 5G
19:34
basically using LTE speeds additionally the speeds recently there's been a couple of YouTubers
19:42
for instance like Mr. Who's the Boss or Linens Tech Tips that did
19:46
videos about the 5G being just both of them doing videos about just 5G sucking
19:51
like really badly Mr. Who's the boss specifically just completely dumpstering 5G just because at this
19:58
point it's absolutely useless but what I'm getting at here in addition to
20:04
just trying to make it explain why 5G isn't necessarily the be-all-end-all
20:12
You do need to pay for the phone actually having 5G connectivity
20:16
and you do pay a little bit more. So you might be paying, for instance, $100 more for a phone that has it
20:24
And here we already have a $1,200 price tag for a phone that doesn't even support 5G
20:30
I don't really, at this price range, I don't care if 5G as an infrastructure is shit and doesn't really work
20:38
my phone just because I'm paying 1,200 freaking dollars. I want everything the best in here
20:43
For that price, there is no reason to not get everything at the highest end
20:48
So that's one of my biggest concerns right here. The price of this phone doesn't align with what the phone offers
20:57
There are phones that offer more for the same price or less
21:01
And that's one of the reasons why I probably wouldn't recommend this device to anybody
21:07
not really and obviously that because also it's China so so yeah that's another one but as a phone itself
21:16
if we just skip over China is already overpriced while it's lacking primarily Google Play services
21:23
5G connectivity and has a pretty outdated design in general so there we go so with that being said if you found
21:35
is very helpful. My rant hate towards China in any way entertaining. Don't forget to hit
