Last Monday, February 27, HONOR presented at the Mobile World Congress the new generation of its already iconic Magic Series family, made up of the HONOR Magic5 Lite, HONOR Magic5 Pro and the brand new folding phone, HONOR MagicVS. In Hipertextual we have already been able to try the youngest of the family, leaving us with very good feelings within an increasingly competitive mid-range. It is a balanced device, with top-level technical specifications and a battery that lasts up to two days or more.
Since its official presentation in Barcelona, the expectation for the three new devices has been very high. At the moment, the first that has seen the light of day is the HONOR Magic5 Lite model, which also has a very interesting launch offer and that we tell you later.
What does magic mean in technology?
The Magic family name is not accidental. At the beginning of the 20th century, the British writer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke, author of works of science fiction such as “2001: A Space Odyssey”, he pronounced the following sentence: “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.
If we review the great technological inventions throughout history (electricity, airplanes, the telephone…) they all have in common that, during their presentation, the only explanation people could give him was magic. Talking to a person who is in the other part of the world as if they were next to you or being able to light up an entire house by turning up a switch, there could be no other explanation.
Over the years, we have gotten a little more used to this type of innovation, and what used to be magic now has an explanation that practically everyone knows. However, that has not reduced the ability to surprise us. When we talk about mobile telephony, and we see everything that today’s smartphones are capable of, the capacity for amazement has not diminished either..
That is precisely what HONOR wants to achieve with its HONOR Magic Series family, first with the HONOR Magic5 Lite model, continuing with the HONOR Magic5 PRO model and culminating in the crown jewel, the HONOR Magic Vs.
HONOR Magic5 Lite: much more than a huge battery
Throughout these weeks in which we have been testing the new HONOR Magic5 Lite, one of the aspects that has caught our attention the most is its incredible battery. With a capacity of 5,100 mAh, thanks to the intelligent management made by the terminal itself, it reaches up to two days of intensive use. In fact, during the days prior to the launch of the terminal, the prestigious DXOmark laboratory ranked the new HONOR Magic5 Lite as the number 1 phone in terms of battery performance.
But HONOR has not only dedicated itself to integrating a great battery into its Lite model, but has also managed to establish itself as the lightest and thinnest phone in the entire category.
However, the battery is not the only aspect to take into account. We leave you a list of strengths of the phone that is surely what you are looking for if you want to buy a new phone.
A versatile camera: we have a module, already recognized in previous models of the brand, where the arrangement of the three cameras and the flashlight generates a sense of harmony. In terms of hardware, the three cameras are divided into: an ultra-sharp main with a 64-megapixel sensor, a five-megapixel wide-angle and a two-megapixel macro. The result is great photos in virtually any setting.
Screen with great image quality: the new HONOR Magic5 Lite has an OLED screen that reaches up to 6.67 inches and a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. In addition, it includes a protective tempered glass of only 0.65 mm, capable of withstanding accidental falls from a height of one meter.
Processor: HONOR has chosen the powerful 6-nanometer Snapdragon 695 5G processor that ensures full power and optimal device performance at all times. In addition, within the performance section, HONOR has incorporated a new system that converts a portion of the storage into RAM memory.
Introductory offer and marketing
The new HONOR Magic5 Lite is now available for sale in three colors: Titanium Silver (only on the official HiHonor website), Emerald Green and Midnight Black. If you could not accept the introductory offer, now you can also get one of the best phones that we will see this 2023 within the mid-range with a most interesting promotion.
Specifically, HONOR gives the purchase with an HONOR Band7, 20 euros discount and six months of screen protection. If you are looking for a good phone that meets all aspects and even stands out in terms of battery or camera, the new HONOR Magic5 Lite is a great choice.
