Honor Magic5 Lite Hands-on: First Impression

As seen in the pictures, we like the Blue color because it has a matte glass finish that does not attract fingerprints during use. The standout feature of the phone’s back is the protruding circular camera module.

The system consists of 3 cameras, including a 64 MP main camera, a 5 MP ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. Additionally, the front of the device has a 16 MP camera.

The device has a large 6.67-inch OLED panel screen on the front with FHD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The screen’s peak brightness is 800 nits, and it also integrates a fingerprint sensor.

The Honor Magic5 Lite is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of memory. The device also uses a portion of the internal memory as virtual RAM with a maximum expansion capacity of 5GB, which makes multitasking smoother.

The Honor Magic5 Lite comes pre-installed with Android 12 with Magic UI 6.1 interface when it goes on sale. The battery capacity is 5,100 mAh, which is also high, and the device supports 40W charging, making charging times less of an issue.
