Honor Magic 5 PRO Review

It won’t be wrong to say that Honor has left no stone unturned as it is equipped with all the latest features which are hard to find in any other dual SIM 5G mobile which is available in the same price range. It is so far one of the best options for those who are looking to upgrade from a 4G mobile with 5G having powerful camera, RAM, battery backup and stunning design.


There are almost kinds of features available in this 5G mobile and that makes it a complete package for all consumers. While reviewing its specs we observed the advantages are more as compared to the disadvantages. The large OLED screen size of 6.8-inch is very good for online as well offline binging, touch is also quite good hence it also perfect for playing games and opening multiple Apps at the same time. Furthermore, the 16GB RAM is quite powerful for smooth working of heavy games and Apps so, there will be no issues doing multi-tasking. Also, the OS i.e. Android 13 is commendable and is one of the latest OS in the market supported by the super-efficient Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 -4 nm Octa-core 1 x 3.2 GHz Cortex-X3 & 2 x 2.8 GHz Cortex-A715 & 2 x 2.8 GHz Cortex-A710 & 3 x 2.0 GHz Cortex-A510 processor that makes it more powerful for a lag free multitasking.

The battery backup is superb as it is 5100mAh that too with wireless charging, reverse charging and fast charging support. There is no need to worry about charging at short intervals even after working for long hours. The exquisite triple primary camera setup of 50MP + 50MP + 50MP along with AI and LED flash captures stunning 8K videos and HD photos even in low light. The front camera of 12MP is good for clicking crisp and clear selfie shots. Moreover, the curved design looks stunning and gives it a unique look. The IP68 rating makes it water and dust resistant so, the user can use it in all weather!
Exceptionally there is also Infrared connectivity so that it can be used as remote for many smart devices like AC, TV, Fan, Audio system and any other gadget which operated through IR remote.

The internal space of 512GB gives enough space to store data but there is one problem that there is no SD card slot which means it cannot be expanded so it is very important to choose the right variant size of RAM and internal space otherwise it might create problem later. Anyways there are almost all sorts of connectivity options as well sensors which need to be there in any latest smartphones.

While reviewing the cons of Honor Magic PRO we found that the major disadvantage is that it does not have micro SD card slot and also lacks FM radio which is a normal thing because Bluetooth headphones can be used to listen to the music and audio as it support reverse charging hence there is no need to worry the Bluetooth headphones charging especially on the go.

Apart from the above cons and like any other latest smartphones it also has non-removable battery. Furthermore, there is no Gorilla Glass screen protection and no additional cooling technology.

Final words:


It is one of the best dual SIM 5G smartphone with superb camera, battery backup, RAM and design but it is not a gaming mobile as there is no extra cooling feature to maintain its temperature after long use. So, apart from having almost all features it cannot be called a gaming mobile at the price of 1200 EUR
