Honor Magic 5 Pro was unveiled with a custom 1.12-inch camera sensor

Honor today detailed its new “dual flag” strategy. In this strategy, both product lines share the “Magic” name, one side is the traditional series and the other side is the Magic V folding. There are exciting developments for Magic Vs, but this isn’t the place to go into it right now. Today, we are currently focusing on unveiling the new Honor Magic 5 and Magic 5 Pro flagships Check their specifications we let.

A look at the specifications of Honor Magic 5 Pro

In the new series, the “Eye of Muse” camera ring design that we saw last year has been transformed into a Star Wheel triple camera system. Marketing gimmicks aside, what you need to know is that this camera has moved to a triple 50MP setup.

But its main module has a customized 1/1.12-inch sensor and has a bright aperture of f/1.6. Compared to the Magic 4 Pro, which had a 1/1.56-inch sensor and f/1.8 aperture, this is a huge upgrade in light-gathering ability. Even better, Honor enabled optical image stabilization on the main camera. Its 50-megapixel ultra-wide (122-degree) camera also has a brighter aperture, f/2.0 (vs. f/2.2).

Along with the sensors, the periscope module has also changed significantly. Now instead of the 64 megapixel sensor, there is a 50 megapixel sensor called Sony IMX858, which is undoubtedly one of the best. The lens still offers 3.5x optical zoom (with a brighter f/3.0 lens versus f/3.5) and an Ultra Fusion computational optics system to deliver high-quality digital zoom of up to 100x.

While the camera system is aided by an array of sensors, a 3D ToF laser for focus, a multi-spectral sensor for color temperature, and a flicker sensor, they will also have the help of advanced software features. Earlier, Honor collaborated with Guinness to set a sports record and did it automatically with AI motion sensor recording mode.

Record the moments of breaking world records with Magic 5 Pro Honor camera

For IMAX Enhanced Movie Master allows users to shoot and edit movies on their phone. Speaking of which, the phone can record 4K videos at 60fps in HDR10+ or 10-bit Magic-Log format.

A look at the design and display of the Magic 5 Pro phone

Looking around the phone, you’ll notice its curved design, apparently inspired by the works of architect Antoni Gaudi. The man behind many bold and unusual masterpieces in Barcelona, including the one where MWC is held every year. The 6.81-inch screen is curved on all four sides. The large LTPO panel can also reach 120Hz refresh rate. Like last year’s model, it has a resolution of 2848 x 1312 pixels, which gives it a pixel density of 461ppi.

With an improved design, the Magic 5 Pro screen can reach a maximum HDR brightness of 1800 nits (nearly double the Magic4 Pro’s maximum 1000 nits). It also uses high-frequency PWM dimming at 2160Hz when it needs to step down. The display is also calibrated for color accuracy at two brightness levels – 120 nits for indoors and 800 nits – outdoors. It’s a 10-bit panel with HDR10+ support. It also has a cinematic pedigree with an IMAX Enhanced certification. Stereo speakers with DTS:X Ultra also increase the entertainment potential to make the user feel more immersed.

On the front, there is a pill-shaped cutout for the sensor in the upper left corner. One is a 12MP selfie camera sensor (f/2.4, fixed focus) and the other is a 3D depth sensor. It enables 3D face recognition. There is also a fingerprint reader under the display.

Snapdragon 8 generation 2 chip for maximum power and efficiency

Well, it’s time to mention the Snapdragon 8 generation 2 chipset, which is supposed to produce the necessary power for this device. Honor has paired this chip with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. This phone comes with MagicUI 7.1 user interface based on Android 13. Of course, this part of the Magic 5 Pro specifications was stated in general because Honor has loaded this phone with a lot of custom hardware.

Its discrete display chipset can help boost frame rates in games, and it also has an always-on HDR effect to enhance videos. Also, its separate security chipset was developed by Qualcomm. In fact, this is where sensitive information such as passwords and biometric data (face ID and fingerprint) is stored.

After all the mentioned items, we come to the connectivity section, where Honor claims the industry’s first independent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna architecture for this phone, which can increase Wi-Fi 6 performance by 200% and delay by 30%. % Reduce.

The phone is powered by a 5100 mAh battery that supports 66W wired supercharger and 50W wireless charging. Fortunately, this brand has not yet removed the charger from its product box.

Honor Magic 5 A little lower than the Pro model but higher than the Magic 4 Pro

Honor Magic 5 is completely similar to its Pro brother in terms of specifications, but it is slightly reduced. This model comes with a slightly smaller (yet still very large) 6.73-inch screen. Maximum HDR brightness drops to 1600 nits. However, again, this is much higher than the Magic 4 Pro.

Perhaps the most important difference in the camera difference is that it uses 54-megapixel main (1.49-inch), 50-megapixel ultra-wide and 32-megapixel telephoto modules. The Honor Magic 5 uses the same 5th generation Snapdragon 8 chipset, but instead the memory configuration is limited to 256.8GB. Also, the phone is a millimeter thinner than the Pro, but has the same 5,100 mAh capacity and supports 66W wired SuperCharge (though no wireless charging this time).

Pricing and delivery time

The Honor Magic 5 series will be available in the quarter of April to June. Honor Magic 5 comes in blue and black colors, Magic 5 Pro comes in glacier blue, grass green, coral purple, orange and black colors.

The Honor Magic 5 Pro will be available in one configuration, 512/12GB, for €1,200 (equivalent to $1,270 / £1,055 / Rs. 105,000). But its more substantial sibling, the Honor Magic 5 (8/256GB) configuration, priced at €900 ($950/£795/Rs 78,500) looks more affordable. Considering the same processor and other specifications that make it higher than the Magic 4 Pro model, it can be a suitable option as a flagship.
