With a 6.81-inch 120Hz refresh rate LTPO OLED display, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, sophisticated triple 50MP rear camera setup, 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, and

66W fast charging, this device seems to redefine the boundaries of what's possible, all at a compelling starting price of just $1,249 (with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage).

Visually, the Honor Magic5 Pro captivates with its aesthetic appeal. Available in Meadow Green or Black with a glass back, the phone exudes sophistication and feels luxurious in hand. The frosted glass not only adds a pleasing texture but also resists fingerprints, seamlessly blending into the glossy, color-matched aluminum rails. The circular camera bump on the rear, housing the triple camera array, adds a distinctive touch without overshadowing other design elements.

On the front of the phone, the QuadCurved Floating Screen, with curved edges on all sides (steeper on the left and right edges), offers an immersive visual experience. The display supports a peak brightness of 1,800 nits for HDR content, ensuring legibility even under bright sunlight. Practical features like an optical under-display fingerprint reader and well-positioned power and volume buttons contribute to the overall user-friendliness.
