The HONOR Magic5 Lite is now official with an interesting design
We still didn’t see a live image of the phone, but based on the company’s renders, this device has immensely thin bezels. Not only that, but its bezels seem to be uniform. That’s quite odd for a budget phone, and we’ll wait for a live image in order to be sure.
A centered display camera hole is included here, while the display is curved. All the physical buttons sit on the right-hand side of the phone, while the company’s logo sits on the back of the device.
The back side of the phone is also curved, proportional to the front. There is also a circular camera module on the back. It actually looks like a letter ‘O’, as the camera module is not located in the middle.
Its siblings will launch at MWC later this month
It’s interesting this phone got launched now, as its siblings are expected later this month at MWC in Barcelona. The HONOR Magic5 and Magic5 Pro are expected to make an appearance.
Now, in terms of specs, this is a budget phone, clearly. It is fueled by the Snapdragon 695 SoC, and comes with 6GB of RAM. It also includes 128GB of internal storage, and has two SIM card slots.
A 6.67-inch fullHD+ OLED display is used here, and it has a 120Hz refresh rate. Android 12 comes pre-installed on the phone, along with HONOR’s Magic UI 6.1 skin.
The device supports 40W wired charging
A 5,100mAh battery sits on the inside of this phone, and the device supports 40W wired charging. A charger is included in the box. Do note that wireless charging is not on offer.
A 64-megapixel main camera (f/1.8 aperture) is backed by a 5-megapixel ultrawide camera (f/2.2 aperture), and a 2-megapixel macro camera (f/2.4 aperture). A single 16-megapixel unit can be found on the phone’s front side.
This handset does include an optical in-display fingerprint scanner too. Bluetooth 5.1 is supported, as is 5G (SA/NSA) and Wi-Fi 802.11 ac. You will be charging the device via a Type-C USB port at the bottom.
The HONOR Magic5 Lite comes in three color options
The HONOR Magic5 Lite comes in Emerald Green, Midnight Black, and Titanium Silver color options. It is priced at €379 ($405), and it will soon be available to pre-order in France. Availability in the UK has also been confirmed, and it will likely spread to other European countries too, but we’re not sure yet.
