Vs the 4 Pro from last year, Honor has packed in a fair few upgrades. Performance has been boosted with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 running the show. You also have Sony's IMX878 camera sensor, which can capture natural looking photos even in low light and dodgy conditions. There's no 8K video option but the Magic 5 Pro is on par with many flagship rivals for its camera tech.

Gamers will enjoy the smooth experience on Genshin Impact and other big Android titles. Magic OS however can be a wee bit shonky at times, which is a shame given the premium price. That grumble aside, the Honor Magic 5 Pro offers a solid package for under £1000, making it cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Just not by much!
