Following its debut at Mobile World Congress earlier this week, the Honor Magic5 Pro enters our offices and joins our review queue.
So let’s do an unboxing, then we’ll talk a little bit about this powerful smartphone. Honor packs the Magic5 Pro with a case, a 66W charger, and a cable. Our unit is Meadow Green.
The Honor Magic5 Pro is an amazing device. The corners of its front glass are shaped and taper to the sides. Create a smooth, curved look to your phone.
Then, at the rear, the panel rises gently to meet the camera island, creating a subtle bulge that catches the eye. The back is also textured, which will please some and annoy others.
The Magic5 Pro has a unique design
Upfront, the Magic5 Pro has a gorgeous 6.81-inch 1312x2848px AMOLED panel with 120Hz variable refresh rate, 1800 nits of peak brightness, and a dual punch hole, which fits a 12MP ultrawide selfie camera and a 3D ToF sensor for depth reading and biometric unlocking.
A single side dish
Honor takes the camera performance of the Magic5 Pro seriously. It comes with a 50MP 23mm main camera with a custom 1/1.12-inch sensor. Features large 1.4µm pre-binned pixels. These increase to 2.8µm after binning at 12MP, which isn’t much smaller than the 3.2µm binning pixels of a 1-inch sensor.
There are two other 50MP cameras: a 13mm ultrawide unit with autofocus and 2.5cm macro capabilities, as well as a 90mm periscope telephoto camera that can go up to 100x digital.
The Magic5 Pro is capable of serious phone photography. It even topped DxOMark’s smartphone ranking.
We’ll run our own tests in our full review, coming soon – stay tuned!
