 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, their Hongmeng 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 Fuchsha 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 Hongmeng OS, Dennis. First, I'm not your friend. Yes, I can help you read this. Honor Smart TV. You're full of sh**. 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 it. You don't, you don't read English. I don't read English, I can read Chinese. This video is brought to you by privacy.com.

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. So, so Dennis claims. So they only sell this in China for now, right? No, ever as far as we know. Okay, this is all pretty visual. I think I can figure this out. Got that composite cable included. Nice. I got the stand, but how come it looks kind of tilt? 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 locking extension cords and stuff. Okay, it's kind of Apple remote, but like cheaper and plastic-er. 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 they will connect your phone to the TV. Do you want to install that on your phone? Why not? Did you just say why 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 an interesting shape. And the IOs weird. It's the power goes in here, which I can't think of a good reason to do that beyond like cost saving measure. Cause like the power supply happens to be here. No VESA mount, except that there's like, oh yeah, no, it is a VESA mount. So you just got to 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 button on and 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 HDMI's, USB three, ethernet. Oh, coax, I guess. Oh, it's kind of a different connector than I'm used to seeing for it. And then that's a three and a half millimeter jack. What is that though? It's for that 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've got three different colors. How much of our personal information is likely to be collected in the next hour? 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 Linus. Yo. Yo. Yo. 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 storage and camera. And you need to- Why does it need my camera? Well, there's always a lot of question about this, but I think you have to say agree. Fine. Oh, I wonder if it's- You can only use it for your Huawei device. You can only use it on Huawei I guess. Okay, I got my hands on an Honor View 20 here. So I'm just gonna wait for it to charge up. In the meantime, why don't we experience Chinese TV? Okay. So I'll just agree. Just agree. So agree is the one on the right? Well, what am I agreeing to? Just agree. So basically it says above data will be transferred and collected to the People of Republic of China's server. So in order to have the complete experience, I need to agree to give the People's Republic of China- Yeah, you just have to agree. 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 TV. Oh no. What? Oh, click again. It says this device only support a Huawei account that's registered in China. Now what? So do we really need this anyway though? I don't know. We can try without the account. Hello, how's the weather today? Beijing's weather today is sunny. The highest temperature is 33 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. The current weather is sunny. Is it telling you the weather in Beijing? Not Vancouver. That was super weird. Why did it answer and then just gone? Hello, Yoyo. Let's play a movie. These contents may be what you want. 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. Wow. Never seen this movie? That looks like crap. So this is free, you don't need a membership to watch it. How are the onboard speakers? Only Mr. Jang has the code. Actually, not too bad. So these are just all the built-in movie platforms. That's why, here, can I borrow this for a second? That's why we're actually seeing a lot of the same movies from one to another. And this is Cool Me Out, I guess, different platform. It's a different platform. This is Cool Me Out, I guess, different platform. And this is Mango TV. Mango TV is that this? This is Mango TV. What's Mango TV? So Mango TV is 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. Hongmeng OS is like very content-centric. Like you fire it up and it's not like, here's a bunch of random stuff. Here is a whole bunch of platforms that you 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 bit rate. 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 Honghu, how do I, whatever. 818 chip. So that's two Arm Cortex A73s and then two A53s. So two high performance, two 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'd 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 nit peak brightness, 94% screen to body ratio. That kind of checks out. And then dual band WiFi. You can see the bit rate did pick up on this. It's still not great. Like you'll still see some banding and some blocking in the water, but it's quite a bit better than it was before. All right, so is there anything on here that isn't just TV shows or- Well then this music doesn't work. There are some Chinese. Wait, did we lose our internet connection? I don't think things are loading in anymore. You have to- Did we just get kicked off? No way. Is our internet working here? It's working. Okay, so let's try reconnecting again then. Okay, click it. Okay, we're back. Welcome to the story of HuHuMama. HuHuMama is gonna tell you this story. SpongeBob. Episode one. In the beautiful- Wait, I'm not translating this. You have to. You have to. How am I supposed to enjoy this content if you don't- SpongeBob. SpongeBob. There's no way that's all she said. I'm listening. Du du du. Du du du. Du du du. Yes, SpongeBob story. That's the worst translation 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, the thing is SpongeBob. Yeah, they want some kind of partnership. Just press agree. Agree, agree, agree. Just agree. And also just got the Chinese Huawei- Oh, we got a Chinese Huawei account, suckers. Yeah. Okay, video call. Should we try video call? Sure. Call your mom? My mom use iPhone. Okay, in the meantime, let's find something that didn't work before because we didn't have a Huawei account. This one. This one. Okay, whatever this is. Yeah, it's free. If you have a Huawei account. If you have a Huawei account, it's free. But yeah. Oh. Dang. Oh, you have six minutes, then you have to upgrade your membership. You have to upgrade your account to a paid version. Like a premium version. You need to have a gold membership. So it's like 39 Chinese Yuan per month. Okay, so that's like 550 US dollars per month. And then what does 60 yen get you? Two months? Three months. Three months. Oh, so it's a lot cheaper if you subscribe for a year. Yeah, and 12 months is 180. Yeah, but that's the same. No, it's not the same. Yes, it is. Times four. It's the same. It's 20, 20. Oh, 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. Okay, that's pretty cheap. Okay, so why don't we dig into the settings menu a little bit now then? It's the standard mode. Why would you tell me it's standard mode? How am I? Just one to four. Here. Okay. Picture mode. What? Yeah. What? What do you mean what do you want? I can't read it. Picture mode. 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. Now let's find out what these settings are. I want to try one more thing to see if I can remove smooth motion. Cause 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. 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 our smartphone. 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. We 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. 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. Oh, so you're remote. So the point is you like stick this on your like, remote, but it's on your table or your whatever, your coffee table or something. And then you just put, throw your phone on there. And it's like, okay, now you're in remote mode. You're adjusting to this, right? Yeah. Look, Glen is, look how cool this is. You can change different, it's easier. Oh, that is way better. Okay. So this is easier. Okay, so if you go to any shows, like, okay, let's go back to the Rangers. So it's kind of like the Chromecast and it casts to your phone now. So you control your phone now, you tap it and change on the TV. Look, Glen is, you are controlling. Oh, cool. Oh, that is pretty cool. You can adjust the volume here on the TV. Yeah, yeah. Oh, nice. Your 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. 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. LTTstore.com. LTTstore.com. 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 phone selfie cam. Like it actually looks fine. And obviously blown up this big, it looks kind of garbo, but like it's good enough. Oh, pfft. You have different frame. Oh, good, that's useful. You can only open a camera on the control so you can't really creep someone. No. Interesting. They are not creepy at all. Your privacy is protected. Ni hao, Youyou. Lai der yin yue. What is that? Bo fang di yi ge. Ni hao, Youyou. Youyou. Youyou. I still have to get up 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, 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 overall as a North American, I don't really feel like I'm missing out on a whole lot, but hey, if you're in China, I guess it seems all right as long as you agree to all the terms and conditions.
