Honor Magic 5 Series: Launch, Models, and Colors
Honor unveiled two phones under the series — the Honor Magic 5 and the Honor Magic 5 Pro. Alongside them, the company introduced the Honor Magic Vs, its first foldable flagship to launch outside China. The Magic 5 Pro arrives in five color options: Black, Glacier Blue, Meadow Green, Orange, and Coral Purple. The standard Magic 5 comes in Blue and Black, while the Magic Vs is offered in Cyan and Black. All three devices run MagicOS 7.1 based on Android 13.

The Magic 5 Pro is the headline device of the range.

The phone is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance.
Photography is a major focus of the Magic 5 Pro.
