Honor Magic 5 Pro Overview

Design

The Honor Magic 5 Pro features a striking “Star Wheel” triple camera setup at the back, arranged in a triangular formation on a circular island. This island also includes an LED flash (a flicker sensor and a multi-spectrum color sensor near it), a microphone, and a dTOF sensor. Honor refers to this design as the “eye of muse” design.

The phone has a glass back and an aluminum frame. The frosted glass back slightly curves up to blend with the camera system. The sides are also curved, both the front and back. Interestingly, the display has a pill-sized cutout for the camera.

The power and volume buttons are located on the right side of the phone. The top side has a speaker grille, a microphone, and an IR blaster. Similarly, the bottom has a dual SIM tray, primary microphone, USB-C port, and another speaker.

Moreover, the phone is IP68 rated for protection against dust and water.

Additionally, Honor Magic 5 Pro has a standalone Bluetooth and Wi-Fi antenna. Honor claims this is the industry’s first architecture. It resolves the mutual interference between the two connections, boosting Wi-Fi speed and reducing Wi-Fi latency.

Camera

The triple-camera setup comprises a 50MP primary camera with f/1.6 aperture and OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with f/2.0 aperture, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with f/3.0 aperture and OIS.
