A well-known tipper just tweeted what appears to be a teaser image. “Go beyond the Galaxy to witness the real Magic” is written on the image, and the capitalization of Galaxy is obviously a jab at Samsung’s flagship line. So it’s evident that Honor has big goals for its forthcoming top dog. The current speculated specifications also seem extremely promising.

The first black hole ever photographed by the Event Horizon Telescope appears in the teaser’s background, which is an interesting reference to the Galaxy series.

More information about Honor’s MWC plans is still awaited, and we’ll keep you informed as soon as it is released. For now, let’s take a look at what’s known about the device so far.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, LPDDR5x RAM, and UFS 5.0 storage are all included in the Magic 5 trio. The Magic 5’s battery will have a 5,000mAh capacity and 66W fast charging, while the batteries in the other two models will have a 4,800mAh capacity and 50W each of wired and wireless charging. The 40W UFCS charging standard will also be supported by the series.

There will be a fingerprint scanner embedded in the display of all three gadgets. While the other models will offer 3D facial recognition, the Magic 5 will only enable 2D face unlock. Additionally, the series will include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, USB 3.1, dual speakers powered by Dolby, an X-axis linear motor, and USB 3.1.

The Prestige Edition will have a nano-ceramic build, in contrast to the metal-glass hybrid chassis used by the Magic 5 and Magic 5 Pro. The Magic 5 will have an IP54-rated chassis while the Pro and Prestige variants will have IP68 protection against water and dust.
