Specifications for three upcoming Magic5 series smartphones have leaked online. Billed as the Magic5, Magic5 Pro and Magic5 Prestige Edition, the trio should all rely on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Honor has hinted at the launch date of the Magic5 series too, with new flagships due on November 23.

Honor has outlined details of its next flagship hardware launch event. As the image above shows, Honor will present new devices on November 23 at 14:30 CST (06:30 UTC). While Honor's has shared details globally, the launch will only be for the Chinese market. Typically, Honor takes a few months before it releases new devices in other markets. With that being said, Honor often does not release all its smartphones globally.

Meanwhile, a specification sheet for the Magic5, Magic5 Pro and Magic5 Prestige Edition has leaked on Weibo. As the screenshot below highlights, all devices feature identical displays, as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage. However, the specification sheet suggests that Honor will distinguish the three smartphones on battery capacity and camera hardware.

Likewise, the Magic5 will be significantly cheaper than the Magic5 Pro and Magic5 Prestige Edition. Still, the Magic5 may start at CNY 4,999 (~US$695) with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Conversely, the Magic5 Prestige Edition is listed at CNY 7,999 (~US$1,112), an astounding price even with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. While the Prestige Edition is tipped to offer premium hardware like the Sony IMX989, its price makes it CNY 1,000 (~US$139) more expensive than the equivalent Xiaomi 12S Ultra and CNY 2,000 (~US$278) more than its cheapest variant.
