HONOR’S Best Flagship Yet? Honor Magic5 Pro 5G Review

Available for pre-order now, the latest smartphone to join the HONOR family is the Magic5 Pro 5G. Loaded with incredible features such as a Quad-Curved 6.81-inch floating screen, IP68 water and dust resistance, and a sophisticated design, this phone is as premium as technology gets. 

To see if this 2023 flagship is really as ‘magic’ as the marketing claims, I put this device’s features to the test. 

Extraordinary Triple Star Ring Design

Nowadays our smartphones are an extension of our personality, so it’s important that we have one that looks the part. Featuring a flawless Triple Star Design, HONOR with the Magic5 Pro 5G has excelled in creating a sophisticated design that still has charming unforgettable character. 

Not only did I find the appearance impressive, but also a comfortable fit in hand. Wondering what colours are up for grabs? Well, you have two options to choose from, a Black version for that classic look and a Meadow Green version for a beautiful pop of colour.

Super Dynamic 6.81-inch Vivid Display

Whether you’re partaking in some good old series streaming or even social media scrolling, a fantastic smartphone display is a must-have. The new HONOR Magic5 Pro 5G features a 6.81-inch Quad-Curved Floating display paired with 1800nits² peak brightness and is said to boost your viewing experience to incredible levels.

To put this display to the test, I tuned into one of the most talked about films in the world right now – Luther The Fallen Sun, and was blown away. Not only were the graphics bursting with clarity and vibrancy, but they also were effortlessly seamless thanks to the display’s 120Hz refresh rate. These specs really delivered when it came to capturing all the edge-of-seat action in the best possible quality. 

The long-lasting 5100mAh battery the handset is powered by was also super helpful and gave me hours of uninterrupted entertainment. 

Magical Lenses

When you take pictures on the Magic5 Pro 5G magic happens – well not literally but it’s pretty close. Boasting a fantastic HONOR Falcon Camera system consisting of a 50MP Ultra-Sensing Multi-Dimensional wide main lens, a 50MP Ultra Wide lens and a 50MP Periscope Telephoto lens, this HONOR gives you everything you need to snap exceptional photos day or night. An 8×8 dTOF Laser Focusing System is also thrown into the mix giving users faster focus, more precision and deep information detection. 

I headed to the beautiful village of Virginia Water to try out this cool camera system out for myself. 

As you can see from the striking waterfall shot above, the HONOR Magic5 Pro 5G camera really lived up to expectations and then some! Capturing images filled with life and detail was easy as can be. 

Extraordinary Performance: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor

Running on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the HONOR Magic5 Pro 5G supposedly delivers an ultra-fast and seamless performance. A Discrete Display chipset is also featured, providing users with smoother and more stable imagery. 

To test this, I headed to the Google Play Store and downloaded one of the most played heavy-duty games in the market right now: Walking Dead: Road to Survival, to see if this HONOR could really keep up with the punches. 

Throughout my gameplay, I was extremely impressed with how effortlessly the Magic5 Pro 5G performed. Not only were the graphics super fast and seamless, but any loading was rapid – just what you need to achieve a fantastic gaming experience.

Now you’re all filled in on the magic this HONOR has to offer, it’s time to get your hands on a Magic5 Pro 5G device of your own! Pre-order is available NOW plus you’ll receive a FREE gift pack worth £250!
