Translation: machine translated

New year, new luck: Honor refreshes its line-up with two new top smartphones, the Magic 5 and 5 Pro.

Compared to the predecessor models, the improvements are minimal; with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, there is above all a new chipset.

Honor advertises the round design of the camera module, which is slightly better equipped in the Pro version than in the regular variant: one 50-megapixel main, ultra-wide-angle and telephoto camera each with 3.5x optical and 100x digital zoom. In the regular version, the telephoto camera has 32 megapixels and 50x zoom, while the main camera has a minimally higher resolution of 54 megapixels.

In my world, Super Mario chases Stormtroopers with a unicorn and Harley Quinn mixes cocktails for Eddie and Peter at the beach bar. Wherever I can live out my creativity, my fingers tingle. Or maybe it's because nothing flows through my veins but chocolate, glitter and coffee.
