HONOR Magic5 Lite. The latest Lite addition to the HONOR Magic series delivers all-round visuals and performance with a 120Hz all-round OLED Curved Display, high-capacity durable battery and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G Mobile Platform, all engineered to fit in a pocket-sized body. Available at an affordable price, this phone is set to make technology more accessible with reliable manufacturing to users around the world. As part of HONOR's efforts to reach carbon neutrality by 2030, HONOR Magic5 Lite does not include a charging adapter.

Featuring the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G Mobile Platform, the HONOR Magic5 Lite delivers robust performance across productivity and entertainment apps. The user experience is further enhanced by HONOR RAM Turbo, which enables the smartphone to use a section of the storage as RAM to keep more apps active for more efficient multitasking.

Certified by TUV Rheinland for low blue light emissions, the HONOR Magic5 Lite is easy on the eyes, and features industry leading 1920Hz PWM Dimming technology to reduce screen flickering, further alleviating eye fatigue stemming from prolonged use. Running the Android 12-based MagicUI 6.1 operating system, the phone comes with an anti-aging engine that minimises performance degradation over time to ensure a consistent, smart user experience.

In games where quick reflexes are required, users will appreciate the responsiveness of the HONOR Magic5 Lite's display, which supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate and a 300Hz touch sampling rate, allowing the device to almost instantly register and react to user inputs. Holding the device with one hand, the HONOR Magic5 Lite offers an innovative mistouch prevention enabled by AI technology to prevent unnecessary hassle caused by accidental inputs.

The HONOR Magic5 Lite inherits the design as the iconic flagship Magic Series camera lock-up, featuring a circular Matrix Star Ring at the back which captivates the viewers as it captures them. Arranged along the Matrix Star Ring, the powerful Triple Camera system - comprising a 64MP Ultra-clear Main Camera, a 5MP Wide Angle Camera and a 2MP Macro Camera - allows users to capture their daily lives in photos and videos that can be shared with friends and family at the touch of a button.

    How many versions of Android will this receive?
    clay's avatar
    2 updates I believe so android 13 and 14 for this mobile, android 14 is due to release this year so Honor has some catching up to do.

    The Honor 90 Lite comes with android 13 pre installed unlike the Honor Magic 5 Lite. (edited)

    Bought this last week. Screen is great, battery lasts ages and the os is very fluid although still stuck on android 12, due an update soon. Speaker and cameras aren't very good if this bothers you.
    maddogb's avatar
    an odd request i know but can it do automatic call recording?

    HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT. Sorry but this is very HOT! This is ranked number one for battery. dxomark.com/sma…-5G

    I wonder how it gets to that point? If it has to kill all background apps along the way then count me out.
    dontkillmyapp.com/

    I bought an Honor View 10 back in 2018 and it has this exact problem. In the pursuit of longer battery life, Honor kills apps in the background that's not whitelisted by them so notification rarely works for non-mainstream apps, they tried very hard to hide battery optimisation options under smaller menus (I was 5-6 menus deep just to get to it).

    I just bought it in Black.

    My Poco F3 is stuck on fastboot cycle and Xiami wants a fortune to fix it, but I could buy this phone for £40 more!

    The only reason I bought it is my daughter bought it at the weekend, the screen takes priority for me as I travel a lot and watch stuff on the plane etc and I love the screen, deep blacks and great colour, brightness. She says she gets just under 2 days of good use on full charge.

    The pics are actually fine despite the several negative comments, video is pretty good too, it also seems super smooth....and as others have said, fairly future proof.

    Considering the great reviews this got at the launch price, this is a steal. IMHO

    Oof, another great phone deal Mr Switch! Excellent price considering the RRP. Tempting but my wallet has already taken a battering after the Moto deal . Surely the best current deal for someone that needs a new phone tho
  6. underfamed's avatar
    So…….. this or the moto g54? Basically the same price after newsletter code. More ram on the g54 but AMOLED display on this
    JamesB83's avatar
    I'd definitely go for this, faster charging too (40w Vs 15w). But have to buy a brick seperately as someone said. (edited)
  7. innocent's avatar
    Code definitely makes sweeter this decent phone with 6gb ram (as opposed to 4gb at this price point). (edited)
    deleted531767's avatar
    Not a bad price for a backup phone.
  8. lukins1's avatar
    Micro SD slot?
    bantiuk2001's avatar
    no slot
  9. Daleslass's avatar
    Does anyone know if this has NFC please?
    Maximus17's avatar
    It does
  10. AFRogers's avatar
    Does this have Wireless charging please?
    clay's avatar
    No

    Look at the asus zenfone line, 8, 9 and more recently 10 if you are after android
  12. tom6195's avatar
    Review doesn't say very nice things about the camera
    DopeyDunker's avatar
    I'm getting the feeling that manufacturers are deliberately holding back the camera on mid-to-lower range phones. Some of them are pretty mediocre and I can't believe they couldn't do better if they wanted to.

    superhot! sooo tempted!

    Good specs for price but the curved display is a deal breaker for me.
    Limmy's avatar
    it's a 120Hz OLED on a budget phone, I'd say that's not much to grumble about (edited)
  16. DopeyDunker's avatar
    🔥

    Thanks, just bought for my son, goes well with my magic5 pro
    Crossbow's avatar
    Good for the price, but please note to avoid possible disappointment... compared to the top level cameras on yours, the ones on this are very average, camera review links:
    - Pro dxomark.com/hon…est
    - Lite dxomark.com/hon…est (edited)
  18. LEIGHP1875's avatar
    Just ordered couldn't resist at this price just hope camera ain't pants
    Crossbow's avatar
    It's not great tbh dxomark.com/hon…est, but if you have low expectations you could be pleasantly surprised in reality.
  19. Triggerhappytel's avatar
    I need a couple of cheap-ish phones for Christmas. I know I could go cheaper than this, but these specs for this money seem *really* good. Might have to consider whether to get this or wait for Black Friday.

    Code no longer works
  21. Itssocheap's avatar
    Bought this at the weekend from Argos @ £229 as a second phone and to play some old Android games. Gutted I didn’t wait for this.
    I must say it’s a very good phone indeed. Display is beautiful with the curved edges. Battery life seems excellent. Sound from the single speaker is a bit pony.

    Can we combine this offer with student discount ? (edited)
    MrSwitch's avatar
    Author
    Not sure, I'd guess not, as student discount sites are listing the same code
  23. GhostCaspar's avatar
    thanks, might sound silly but went for this since my Fold 3 is broken, but I am travelling a lot now and since this ranks #1 in battery life, I thought this would be great for me.

    Anyone know how fast their shipping is? Oh I see, they mention 1-2 days, but somewhere else on their website. (edited)
    clay's avatar
    If you have placed the order now you should get it tomorrow, DHL don't deliver over the weekend so order before Friday it you want the mobile this week.
  24. spencerslide's avatar
    Now in black too
  25. shug119's avatar
    Just bought the Motorola Moto G54 256GB 8GB is this a better phone ?
    iceangel8's avatar
    I also brought G54 are you returning it to get this? Is this a smaller size phone?
  26. Bzzzz's avatar
    Whats the best low budget phone for good camera and battery life please?? (Under 400pound max) if anyone can help me please
    clay's avatar
    In the same boat here, Have purchased the Honor 90 while the pictures seem better than my previous mobile shutter speed is very slow (3 seconds) in overcast and dark conditions, have 14 days to return this one.
  27. bantiuk2001's avatar
    Does anyone have experience with how HONOR UK is with return of item. Are they happy to take it back within 14 days if I dont like it after some usage. OR would they be like, no return as handset is unboxed and has been used.

    Also the 6GB RAM +5GB Honor Boost RAM, is that enough for general usage and somewhat future proof.
    vassy4u's avatar
    Yes. Returns are straight forward

    Confused by the personal ID during checkout - do I really need to provide my passport number?

    No lol
  30. Limmy's avatar
    Seems like a good phone as long as you don't care about camera .. incredible battery life and a very nice screen
  31. MCS123's avatar
    Can you use 🎧 with this thanks
    AOT's avatar
    Wireless but review says it doesn't have jack
  32. Tired.Ben.Affleck's avatar
    Samsung A34 is a far better phone if you can get in similar price (sub 200), camera performance is far better, the battery holds equally well, build quality is subpar however.
  33. J9STL's avatar
    is this better than the moto g54 ?

    Anyone have a student code they can DM as code for this not working and keen to get this. Much appreciated!
    KingOfCaledonia's avatar
    Student code won't work as this isn't full price. Try the 10% discount for Honor customers.
  40. Dakillah's avatar
    Had a chance to play with it for a while, I was blown out how good it works, screen is great, as well as battery, hence camera is bit weak spot thought. suppose if camera is not something you care about, this phone is excellent pick, aspecially at this price.
