Alongside all the top smartphone companies, Honor also showcased its new devices at Mobile World Congress 2023. Besides new products, the China-based company has also introduced its new battery technology.

Honor held an event to introduce its newest technologies and products in Barcelona. Yesterday, more information was given on the new Magic5 Pro at a keynote session as well as the new foldable device of the company, Magic VS. Everyone turned their attention to Magic5 Pro as it will decide Honor's 2023 success against its competitors like Samsung, regarding flagships. Honor's CEO, George Zhao, led the session and said the company moved from tech-centric to human-centric.

The Magic5 Pro was surely the most awaited product of Honor. With its triple-camera setup, the Magic5 Pro will be available in five different colors: Glacier Blue, Hot Orange, Classic Black, Meadow Green, and Coral Purple. Zhao mentioned that its rear snappers were designed with a black hole in mind, and the triangle shape simplifies Honor's famous "Eye of Muse" shape. Its new display is defined as "circadian-friendly, " meaning it is better for your eye health. The Honor Magic 5 Pro reduces eye exhaustion by 18% by replicating the variable darkening of natural illumination.

It comes with a 50MP wide lens, a 50MP telephoto lens, a 50MP ultra-wide lens on the back, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens on the front. It also includes multiple features like AI motion-sensing capture.

This new feature will let you take impressive photos even if there is a high-motion movement in the frame, like dancing or jumping. It surely has an impressive camera setup, and the camera is the feature that makes it stand out the most.
