In the last few years, workwear has dominated the menswear landscape. Think hard-wearing overalls, utility jackets, and cargo trousers with belt loops and more pockets than you actually need. This trend doesn't seem to be dying down, meaning that the modern man doesn't just want something that looks good, they also want it to be functional. They want an outfit that will support their day to day actions as well as end up on the Insta grid of Throwing Fits.
The new HONOR Magic5 Pro is no different to the workwear movement. It's the kind of device that makes you stop and marvel, a striking combination of superior engineering and stylish aesthetics, one that cements HONOR as global icons in the technology world. Intrigued? You should be.
Form And Function
Architect Louis Sullivan dictated that “form follows function”. But his protégé, Guggenheim mastermind Frank Lloyd Wright, took it a step further, designing for a world where “form and function are one”.
When you pick up the Magic5 Pro, you’re struck by the fact that it’s all screen. The display is the design here — at 6.81 inches, it’s objectively massive but feels comfortable in the hand thanks to the innovative quad-curve design that wraps around all four sides. The screen bleeds into the very edges of the phone with an ultra-narrow bezel — there are no gimmicks, no compromises, just full immersion into whatever’s at hand. Whether it’s gaming, streaming or working, IMAX Enhanced Certification and always-on HDR make moving images look smooth and natural, while dual-luminance calibration means the screen remains clear even in direct sunlight.
And if you're worried about the effects of your screen time usage on your eye health, HONOR has found a solution. The brand has worked with technology safety experts TÜV Rheinland on getting the first TÜV Rheinland Circadian Friendly Certification for blue-light filtering and colour temperature adjustment, which can help aid sleep and protect your eyes.
One Of The World’s Best Cameras
With the Magic5 Pro, HONOR has created a camera that actively makes you a better photographer. Upon release, it immediately reached the top of the DXOMARK global camera ranking, thanks to its Gaudi curve-inspired “Star Wheel Camera System” — three 50 megapixel cameras that work together to capture dynamic, high-quality images even in ultra-low-light conditions, with up to 100x zoom. Compared to its predecessor, the Magic4 Pro, the camera system has a larger sensor for superior performance, and is quicker in every sense: from start-up, to focusing, to shuttering.
The real magic starts when you turn on the Falcon Millisecond Capture, which provides an intelligent and fast shutter speed to capture the exact moment you touch the camera button. In simple terms, it means clearer, higher-quality images and never missing a shot again, whether that's catching your explosive movements in the gym or making memories at the football ground.
Fuelled By AI
The feature that truly makes you stop and pay attention more than any other is Magic5 Pro’s AI motion-sensing capture. Using an AI network trained on more than 270,000 images, the camera automatically detects movements and facial expressions to identify the perfect time to take a photograph. To prove its point, HONOR used the AI to capture the exact moment basketball pro Piotr Grabowski broke the Guinness World Record for the highest between-the-legs slam dunk, with the camera able to detect the high point of the jump. It’s a genuinely revolutionary tool that takes the pressure out of capturing the perfect shot. Now, whether it’s immortalising a jump-for-joy moment or documenting fast-paced action, your camera will do the hard part for you.
Full Motion
For would-be cinematographers, the Magic5 Pro allows you to film in 4K resolution, meaning ultra-high-quality, professional-grade footage — whether it’s a home movie or a professional project. As any true filmmaker knows, the real magic happens in the edit, which is why the phone comes with intuitive, built-in editing software. It’s powered by a lightning-fast eight-core chipset and a super-large battery that delivers all-day charge, meaning you can rely on it for busy days and spontaneous events, while facial recognition and hardware-level data protection ensure your privacy.
