After a slow breakaway, HONOR is firmly striking out on its own, branching out from its initial Chinese and mid-tier markets. Its second global flagship has just arrived at Mobile World Congress 2023 — the HONOR Magic 5 Pro. Boasting powerhouse specifications and more ambitious software plans, could this be your next flagship purchase?
HONOR Magic 5 Pro: Design and specs
Building on last year’s Magic 4 Pro, there’s an instantly familiar look and feel with the Magic 5 Pro. The “Eye of Muse” circular camera housing remains the centerpiece of HONOR’s flagship design language. Complete with a new Antoni Gaudí inspired glass curvature, it’s an eye-catching look, if not entirely unique. The glass back gradually sloping up to the camera lens is wonderful. It is, however, a complete fingerprint magnet. Color-wise, it comes in Meadow Green or Black, though HONOR has also shown off light blue, bright orange, and light purple colorways. We’re yet to hear about availability, however.
