Honor Magic 5 Pro

“The Honor Magic5 Pro is an incredibly powerful smartphone featuring a top-notch display, speakers, chipset, cameras, and charging options on the market, all wrapped into a beautiful and unique IP68-rated body. The Magic5 Pro easily aced our display and battery tests, and it was pretty fast to charge. We also found its speakers to be loud enough and its performance to be flagship worthy. The camera experience was as premium as it can be these days - the photo quality is excellent with natural-looking and balanced output across the board. The same can be said for the video experience, although we've seen a few zoomed videos of higher quality on other flagships.”

“With the Magic5 Pro, Honor continues to improve its predecessor, offering an overall package that includes powerful technology and doesn't have to hide from any competitors. Particularly in terms of security, Honor takes an additional step, introducing a dedicated security chipset for the first time, and it is currently also the only Android smartphone with 3D face recognition.”

“The Magic 5 Pro has a gorgeous design that is sure to turn heads, and it is rocking the latest hardware, bringing it on par with the best phones available today. You also get a vibrant screen that's one of the brightest around, excellent battery life with fast wired and wireless charging, and all the extras you could want. The three 50MP cameras at the back take outstanding shots in any lighting situation, and there's just one issue with this phone: the software. I don't like the lack of refinement here, and MagicOS 7.1 doesn't do enough to integrate all the latest features Google introduced in Android. That said, if you need an alternative to what Samsung and Xiaomi have to offer in this category, you'll find that there's a lot to like.”

“The Magic 5 Pro is a fully-featured flagship which can match most rivals on display quality, battery life, and even camera performance – but Honor still has ground to cover on the software side.”
