Verdict
The Zeblaze Thor 5 Pro is a full-Android watch suited to notifications, news and 4G calls, but its weak battery holds it back.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Zeblaze Thor 5 Pro

  • Standalone 4G LTE functionality with nano SIM support for calls and data
  • Large, crisp 1.6-inch LTPS display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection
  • Fluid performance for multitasking and gaming with 3GB RAM and quad-core CPU
  • Dual 5MP cameras for video calling and decent daylight photography
  • Access to the full Google Play Store for downloading standard Android apps
  • Premium build quality featuring a ceramic bezel and metal case

What we don't like about Zeblaze Thor 5 Pro

  • Poor battery life, with some users reporting as little as 6 hours of use or needing twice-daily charging
  • Lack of app optimisation for the round screen, sometimes requiring a 'squared off' mode that reduces size
  • Absence of an IP water resistance rating, making it vulnerable to moisture
  • Awkward side-facing camera angle for photography and video
  • Bulky design that may not be aesthetically pleasing on thinner wrists
  • Finicky setup and occasional pairing issues with the companion app

Verdict

The Zeblaze Thor 5 Pro is a 4G LTE-capable smartwatch phone featuring a 1.6-inch LTPS crystal display with 320x320 resolution and a premium ceramic bezel. It is powered by a MediaTek MT6739 quad-core processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, running on Android 7.1.1 with full Google Play Store support. Main characteristics include dual 5MP cameras for video calls and photos, built-in GPS/GLONASS, and face unlock security. Its primary pros are its high memory capacity, standalone cellular connectivity, and the inclusion of high-quality hybrid leather straps. However, notable cons include poor battery life from the 800mAh cell (often requiring daily charging under heavy use), a lack of official IP-rated waterproofing, and some unoptimized apps for the round screen.
