HONOR is making a big deal about how good the camera is on this new phone. It has great hardware, and the company says it has come up with new algorithms that make taking photos faster, easier, and better.

The Magic 5 Pro has almost too many features. Everything about this phone is some of the best we’ve seen this year, from the camera to the battery. Specs aren’t everything, of course. But if you want a device with all the bells and whistles, the Magic 5 Pro is worth a look:
Price and what’s available
Since this phone has one of the best lists of features we’ve seen so far in 2023, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it costs €1,199 (about $1,266). That’s for the only model in the world, which has 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Honor told us that it comes in two colors: black (shown all over this article) and Meadow Green. But at the launch, it showed off blue, light gray, orange, and green. We don’t know what these other colors are called or where or when we might be able to get them
