Original design, photo module acclaimed by critics, premium technical sheet, the Honor Magic5 Pro does not skimp on any aspect to impose itself on the market of high-end smartphones. Better, during its pre-order phase, it benefits from a price reduction and allows you to obtain a touch pad for free.
Long confined to entry-level and mid-range smartphones when it was still in the hands of Huawei, Honor is now taking advantage of its independence to let all its creativity speak for premium smartphones.
And for what result! The Honor Magic5 Pro is a promising device, which is not only based on a muscular technical sheet. It also offers an iconic design and one of the best photo modules of the year. This has also been rewarded by the DXO Mark laboratory, in the same way as its screen.
Since April 18, it has been possible to pre-order the Honor Magic5 Pro. A particularly generous pre-order offer. It allows you to benefit from an immediate reduction of up to 200 euros, but also from a free Honor Pad 8 touch pad.
A smartphone with a unique design and remarkable
From one generation to another, high-end smartphones have the unfortunate tendency to look alike. Photo modules, for example, are often angular, and manufacturers have a knack for integrating them into the hull as best they can. A trend that Honor did not want to follow for its new flagship.
Placed on a table in the middle of other phones, the Honor Magic5 Pro does not fail to stand out with its unique aesthetic. Its circular back module, inspired by the work of the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, is perfectly integrated with the back of the phone, which gives it a unique cachet.
Honor has taken great care of the front panel by integrating a 6.81-inch AMOLED screen. Compatible with HDR10+, this panel promises optimal display quality with its infinite contrasts, its very good brightness and above all its adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz. A magnificent screen which did not fail to blow the DXO Mark laboratory which ranked it as the best slab currently available on the market.
Within “The Eye of the Muse”an accurate day and night camera
The screen isn’t the only feature praised by DXO Mark. The highly respected review site also rewarded the Honor Magic5 Pro’s camera. “The eye of the muse” puts the phone in second place among the best photophones.
Its back module is composed as follows:
- a 50 megapixel main camera dedicated to wide-angle and optical stabilization;
- a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera that handles both panoramas and macro shots;
- a 50 megapixel telephoto lens that guarantees ×3.5 optical zoom, ×100 digital zoom and a second optical stabilization.
Of course, the hardware part of this camera alone is not enough for the Honor Magic5 Pro to deliver great shots. The telephone relies on a perfectly calibrated software dimension. The on-board artificial intelligence thus allows the user to take advantage of the ” Falcon Catch “. This can detect movement in front of the camera, such as a cat jumping into a box, and automatically trigger the capture.
This technology is also able to capture a scene for 1.5 seconds to select the best photo. The software will trigger the shot 1 second before the manual triggering of the photo and 0.5 second after. The AI will then sort the shots and select the one that seems best to it. This is the guarantee of always having the best photo, even if it is taken on the fly.
The most powerful chips and components of the moment
The most powerful chip on the market: this is what the Honor Magic5 Pro offers, which embeds the Snapdragon 8 gen 2. Concretely, this means two things. First of all, that it is possible to play all the mobile games available on the Google Play Store without the slightest slowdown, even the most demanding ones. Then that the Honor Magic5 Pro is a device made to last. This power is the assurance of benefiting from a smartphone that can be kept for several years.
This chip also allows the Honor Magic5 Pro to be particularly enduring. Indeed, the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 guarantees excellent energy management. By coupling it to a 5,100 mAh battery, the Honor Magic5 Pro ensures autonomy of up to two days with normal use. Going on a weekend without your charger is therefore no longer a source of anxiety.
Bonus point for Honor: the charger provided in the box is particularly effective. Thanks to it, it only takes 15 minutes to recover 50% battery and less than an hour to be fully charged.
A free tablet and a price below 1,000 euros for pre-orders
With such a technical sheet, the Honor Magic5 Pro has enough to seriously overshadow the traditional players of high-end smartphones. But to be sure to drive the point home, Honor has launched a very generous pre-order offer.
Since April 18 and until May 1, it is possible to enjoy many advantages by pre-purchasing the Honor Magic5 Pro in its 12 + 512 GB version.
Starting with a reduced price: the manufacturer not only offers an immediate discount of 100 euros, but also a reduction coupon for an additional 100 euros when adding to the basket. This means that the Honor Magic5 Pro has a final price of 999 euros instead of 1,199 euros.
But that’s not Honor’s only gift. Indeed, an Honor Pad 8 tablet, worth 349 euros, is also offered for any pre-order of the smartphone, as well as a 6-month insurance on the phone screen. Many advantages that allow the Honor Magic5 Pro to play in the big leagues.
