Honor made a best pitch to join big participants in the smartphone world previous year with the launch of the HONOR Magic 4 Pro. It was a best step in the straight direction, and Honor now wants to build on that momentum with the new HONOR Magic 5 Pro. It is a flagship phone with flagship specs. You are able to check the HONOR Magic 5 Pro performance by checking and testing its features all the way.
Honor’s new flagship phone looks very promising indeed, with a superior design, promising specs, and an awesome camera system that we cannot wait to put to the test.
Pros:
- Nice design and build
- Impressive camera selection
- Powerful hardware
Design:
- Attributes: 162.9mm x 76.7 x 8.77mm (HWD)
- Colours: Meadow green and black
- Weight unit: 219gms
From a design perspective, the Honor Magic 5 Pro takes some things from with the Magic 4 Pro and has learned some lessons, too. For a start, it’s offering a dull back panel option to bring down the fingerprints we found the mirrored Magic 4 Pro to pick up. Also available in different colors, instead of catching Meadow Green – while the famous black retains its glossy shine for those who love that style.
Like the HONOR Magic 4 Pro, the edge of the display and the back panel have a slight curve to them – something Honor calls its Symmetrical Design – which helps it to sit nicely in your hand. The edges themselves are flat, though, to add a little extra grip and hold only 2 physical controls – a volume cradle and a power push button on the right-hand side.
The evolution of “The Eye of the Muse” design ascertained in the Magic 4 Pro and Magic 3 is present and correct in the 5 Pro as well. This refers to the sheer camera design on the phone’s rear panel, and this year that camera round sits a little more prominent than it was on the 4 Pro. It’s a centerpiece of the design without a doubt and is a statement compared to how some of its competitors do it. We don’t mind it, though, and considering the emphasis on the cameras in this phone, for it to be such a prominent part of the design is no real surprise.
As with the Magic 4 Pro, there’s no expandable storage in the 5 Pro, with only a SIM card slot along the bottom edge. There is as well speaker unit here, next to the USB-C charging point, which teams up with the earpiece speaker to offer stereo sound for a more immersive feel.
Conclusion:
In the HONOR Magic 5 Pro, Honor has produced a smartphone that looks the part of a flagship device, with some amazing specs and interesting features – not to mention a couple of industry certifications to support it up.
While the hardware looks pretty promising, its ability to rise to the high expectations of flagship status relies on how well the software performs and how long it is supported.
