okay guys don't ask me how i got my hands on this thing but this
this is it straight from across the pacific ocean
the china only honor tv from huawei
featuring i'm just gonna put this down they're hung mang os which at one point
was rumored to be huawei's answer to
being cut off from Android now though now they've like they've walked that
back they've said it's more like an Android fuchsia competitor something
i don't know we don't know what it is because i can't read anything on this so
thankfully i've brought along a special friend to help me check out the honor tv
and it's hongmang os dennis first i'm not your friend
yes i can help you read this honor smart tv you're full of yes
that's all it says why do they need so many characters for that what about pro
oh no that's fine i get you don't you don't read english but i can read
chinese this video is brought to you by privacy.com get a brand new virtual
credit card number every time you shop with privacy check out the link below
and get five dollars off your first purchase it's basically free money and
if anyone likes free money it's dennis yes
give me all the free money all right
so this is honor smart tv pro
or so dennis claims so they only sell this in china for now
right no ever as far as we know oh um okay this is all pretty visual
i think i can figure this out got that composite cable included
i got this i got the stand but it looks kind of
tilt um probably because it goes like that oh
okay oh weird
the power plug doesn't have the holes so i guess that means it doesn't work
with uh locking extension cords and stuff
okay it's kind of apple remote but like cheaper in plasticer but wait it has
honor magic link with nfc
okay so what does that do so i mean i think you can
tap this thing and then we'll switch they'll connect your phone to the tv do you want to
install that on your phone oh wait not
did you just say huawei not this one is a 55-inch model so i just
wanted to kind of show the design on the back it's actually kind of
kind of an interesting shape and the i o is weird so the power goes in here
which i can't think of a good reason to do that beyond like cost saving measure
because like the power supply happens to be here no vase amount except that
there's like oh yeah no it is a vase amount so you
just gotta maybe put a pin in it and then like pop it out so that's where we
put the stand oh that's kind of nice it has a little cover for where the stand
goes if you want to wall mount it oh this is the part on off oh oh so it's
just like an accent light yeah okay cool
oh okay there we go so what do we got here
three hdmis usb 3
Ethernet oh collapse i guess oh that's kind of a
different connector than i'm used to seeing for it and then uh that's a three
and a half millimeter jack what is that though it's for that uh
composite video adapter this guy right here okay cool we can see
the integrated speakers through the grill down here so i've got three on
this side another three on that side all right let's go ahead and throw it up
here hey who left all these hats here
lttstore.com we got three different colors how much of our personal
information is likely to be collected in the next
hour uh i'm not using my phone
i'm doing it i like to live dangerously hey look
there's no proof they spied
you can prove it later lioness
she says nice to meet you her name's yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo yeah so basically it
says you need to access your phone
your written right storage and camera
and you need to um why does it need my camera
well there's always a lot of questions about this but i think you have to say agree
fine oh i wonder oh on your what for your huawei device need to be you can only
use some huawei i guess okay i got my hands on an honor view 20 here so i'm
just going to wait for it to charge up in the meantime
why don't we experience chinese tv okay so i'll just agree
just agree on so i agree with the one on the right well what am i agreeing to
disagree so basically it says
above data will be trans transfer
transferred and collected to the
repo people republic china's server so in order to have the complete experience
i need to agree to give the people to the republic of china
do you have a huawei account
i actually think i do so far honestly my main comment is this
is pretty similar to any other oh no
what okay again is this this device
only supports power account that's registered in china now what
so do we really need this anyway though uh i don't know we can try without the
account
in beijing not vancouver that was super weird why
did it
oh you can only like try you can watch 10 minutes for free
but and then you have to like you have to link your huawei
membership to watch the full version
never seen this movie that looks like crap
so this is free you don't need a membership to watch it how are the how
are they on board speakers no only mr jang has the code
to do this actually not too bad oh
so these are just all the built-in movie platforms that's why here can i browse
for a second that's why we're actually seeing a lot of the same movies from one
to another and this is cool meow i guess different platform and this is my mango
tv
mango tv is that this is mango tv what's mango tv so mango tv is like um
like one of the mainland television stations they do a lot of like reality
shows holy crap this one has 75 seconds of ads
wait so i have to have a membership to watch it without ads then yeah
so i've got to give them credit hong mangos is like very content centric like
you fire it up and it's not like here's a bunch of random stuff
here is all whole bunch of platforms that you're may
or may not be interested in so i guess i never mentioned this before this is a 4k
tv i mean this content doesn't look great this is pretty low bitrate but
then there was that other video that took a while to kind of kick in at a
higher bit rate so maybe it will eventually it's got two gigs of RAM 32 gigs of
internal storage it's got their high silicon hong hoo how do i
whatever 818 chip so that's two ARM cortex a73s and then two 53 so too high
performance to lower performance a mali g51 GPU so you could feasibly play some
cheapo Android games on it i guess although i can't imagine how you get
access to the play store the pro has the six speakers the vision
only has four and it's got a 60 hertz refresh rate 400
peak brightness uh 94 screen to body ratio that kind of checks out and then
dual band wi-fi you can see the bit rate did pick up on this
it's still not great like you'll still see some bending and
some blocking in the water but it's it's quite a bit better than it was before
all right so is there anything on here that isn't just tv or tv
it doesn't work um there are some chinese um wait did we
lose our internet connection i don't think things are loading in anymore
yeah did we just get kicked off
no way is our internet working here
okay so let's try reconnecting again then
okay click it
episode one in the beautiful well i'm not
translating this you have to
how am i supposed to enjoy this content
ever if i ever have to go to like you know an important business meeting with
someone chinese or something i'm not bringing you look they're gonna be like
spongebob yeah they want some kind of partnership just press agree i agree i
agree and i just got the uh the chinese
oh we got a chinese wallet account yeah
okay video call should we try video call sure
call your mom my mom used iphone
okay in the meantime let's find something that didn't work before because we didn't have a huawei account
uh this one this one okay whatever this is
yep it's free if you have a one we have a hallway account it's free but yeah oh damn oh
you have six minutes then you have to upgrade your
account to um a paper like a premium you need to have
a gold membership so it's like 39 chinese grand per month
okay so that's like 550
us dollars per month uh and then what does 60 yen get you two
months three months three months oh so it's a lot cheaper
12 months is 180. yeah but that's the same
no it's not the same yes it is times four
three months so times four oh i thought it was times three see the math here wow
even though i cannot do translate i can do math what so that's like 25 bucks a year yeah
okay that's pretty cheap okay so why don't we dig into the
settings menu a little bit now that's the standard mode why would you tell me
it's standard mode how am i just one to four here okay so one
picture mode what what do you want two more i can't
read it don't be like oh
press contrast
this is so much easier than getting you to do it dennis i'm just using bixby
vision and it's like there we go dynamic contrast yeah you're out of a job
dynamic contrast dynamic backlight image noise reduction gamma correction dynamic
picture compensation uh now let's find out what these
settings are i want to try one more thing to see if i
can remove smooth motion because if you can't do that at all that would be
horrible that's off okay let's try that
oh that looks better okay
wow that's a lot better okay big breakthrough guys dennis
check it out with andy's account we were able to get
into the app to control the tv with uh with our smartphone yeah with
specifically a huawei or honor smartphone you can't use a third-party
one still for example in the app they have the controller and all those like
layout here you can see let's click the control and see
oh you have to look at it while doing it it's easy yeah oh that's
so you drag it you drag it yeah and then stop
and you click oh that is a horrible interface
that's the worst here's a ufc your
phone's locked right yeah you tap it
you click you're controlling i'll say your remote
so the point is you like stick this on your like
on your table or your whatever your coffee table or something then you just
throw your phone on there and it's like okay now you're in remote mode you're adjusting this right yeah look glass
look how cool this is you can change different it's easier oh that is way
better okay so this is easy okay so i don't know if we go to any shows like
okay let's go back to avengers so it's kind of like the chromecast and it cast
to your phone now so you control your phone now you tap it and change on the
tv look Linus
you are controlling oh cool
oh that is pretty cool you can adjust the volume here
on the tv yeah yeah or
oh nice phone
that is pretty cool i mean i can't think of a reason that i
would oh i guess i could use my headphone jack yeah and if someone's sleeping you can watch that like okay
and another thing now we can see the camera
oh nice a mirror app
hey nice see the camera pop out nice shirt
andy ltdstore.com that's that's pretty cool
image quality is actually not bad like when you consider how crappy like a
laptop webcam is like this is more like a foam selfie cam
like it actually looks fine you know obviously blown up this big it
looks kind of garbo but like it's good enough oh boom you have different frame
oh good that's useful you can only con open the camera on the controls so you
can't recreate someone you're not oh
interesting they're not creepy at all
your privacy is protected
what is that both
i still have to get off and reach the remote and play
the music conclusion wise honestly it's
more polished than i expected quite frankly like it's got a
ton of features but it's also still way behind in a number
of ways like when it comes to third-party app support um as well as
just the overall fit and finish of things like the integrated digital
assistant although that last one in particular is something that we've
certainly seen before i've got to give them credit for having a massive amount
of content just and like content that people would probably actually care
about just like baked right into the tv the minute you fire it up
as well as the very affordable streaming service especially if you buy the
year-long subscription but uh overall as a north american i don't
really feel like i'm missing out on a whole lot but uh hey if you're in china
