Honor releases its 5 Pro flagship and Magic V foldable to Europe. The long-awaited Magic Vs folding phone from Honor is now available to customers outside of China, along with a brand-new regular flagship model called the Magic 5 Pro.
Honor releases its 5 Pro flagship and Magic V foldable to Europe:
The Magic Vs made its debut in China in November of last year, but it wasn’t until the MWC trade exhibition in Barcelona that it was formally introduced in Europe.
Foldable Device:
The Magic Vs, the company’s second book-style foldable, is made to function as well while closed as it does when opened, much like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. Instead of a tablet, you can carry in your pocket, it’s a phone you can occasionally open to get bigger. Honor releases its 5 Pro flagship
In light of this, it has a hinge that closes flat and measures 12.9mm, which is about as thin as a foldable can be. Even better, the external display has a higher refresh rate of 120Hz while the internal panel is limited to 90Hz.

Flagship device:
The Magic Vs has the specs to compete with non-folding flagships in its own right because of its high-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and triple rear camera setup, which includes a 54MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and an 8MP 3x zoom. Honor releases its 5 Pro flagship
But, the honor magic 5 pro, which was unveiled in Barcelona for the first time globally, outperforms it in that regard. This more traditional flagship slab phone has a quad-curved OLED display, a rear camera with three 50Mp lenses, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
In all honesty, it appears to be a fairly generic flagship device, but Honor believes that the Magic 5 Pro’s camera and display will set it apart in a competitive market.
Display:
The screen is a large 6.81-inch panel with curved edges that uses LTPO OLED technology and can operate at refresh rates ranging from 1 to 120 Hz. Even a specialized display chip is included to support HDR and control video and gaming frame rates.
All of it is very convenient for the high-end market, but Honor has made an effort to stand apart by putting a strong emphasis on health. The panel is the first LTPO to have 2160Hz pulse width modulation dimming, which lessens flicker, along with a variety of other technologies, such as decreased blue light emissions and dynamic dimming, all of which are intended to lessen eye strain and disrupt sleep.
Camera:
The camera has three lenses, each with an absurd name. The triple camera system known as the “Star Wheel” is situated on a “Gaudi Curve” slope away from the body of the phone in the “Eye of Muse” ring design.
The lenses are important. The three cameras, including the huge 1/1.12in primary camera with OIS, each have a 50Mp sensor. In truth, I lied. There’s still one more ridiculous term to come, with ‘Falcon Capture’ technology designed to capture images of moving targets without blur.
Gesture controls:
Also, Honor has included various motion-based gesture controls on the phone, such as the ability to scroll by waving your hand or taking a screenshot by clenching your fist, but in my brief testing, these were just as needless and useless as you’d anticipate.
Together with the Pro, the standard Magic 5 was also made public. The same 8 Gen 2 chipset, curved display, and triple rear camera are all present, albeit with significantly less advanced lenses and sensors. It also has a comparable appearance.
Specs:
Wireless charging and the IP68 rating are the two biggest things you give up, along with simpler cameras.
The Magic 5 Lite, which we thought was a great-looking mid-range phone when we reviewed it but couldn’t quite stand out in a competitive market, was the phone that came before the Magic 5 and 5 Pro only last week.

price:
Although the precise release date hasn’t been revealed, the Magic Vs should be available shortly for €1,599. Its price is €200 less than the Z Fold 4.
The 5 Pro will be available in Q2 (April to June) and will cost €1,199; the basic Magic 5 will cost less, at €899.
We’ll be putting the 5 Pro through its paces next week, and I’ll be reviewing the Vs foldable right now, so keep an eye out for my opinions on the phone soon.
