Honor is reportedly gearing up to launch the Honor Magic 5 series in its home country China by the end of next month. Reports suggest the new lineup will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and some serious camera tech. Ahead of any official announcement, an Honor Magic 5 series model has been spotted on China’s MIIT website. Separately, a leaker has revealed the camera details of the upcoming smartphones.

An Honor smartphone with model number PGT-AN00 has visited China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) certification site. The model number is said to be associated with the Honor Magic 5 series, codenamed “Piaget”. As usual, the listing did not shed any light on the specs of the smartphone but hints at an imminent launch.

According to leaker Digital Chat Station, the lineup will debut with an impressive camera setup. The Pro and Ultimate models could come with a quad 50MP camera setup, however, some devices may have a 64MP camera sensor. Notably, the smartphones could also support up to 100X of digital zoom.

All three handsets— Honor Magic5, Magic5 Pro, and Magic5 Ultimate— are expected to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor under the hood. There could also be a more affordable model, called Magic5 Lite, which may feature an overclocked Snapdragon 695 SoC. The devices may come with a 120Hz refresh rate, PWM dimming, and IP68 rating.

Recently leaked renders suggest the series will continue to use the popular circular camera design consisting of three camera sensors aligned in a triangular pattern. The renders are likely for the vanilla model. The brand hasn’t confirmed the launch date yet but reports suggest the Magic 5 series will debut on February 27.
