When the Magic 5 series was released during MWC, Honor had announced that it would add a model with a silicon-carbon anode battery in the future.At the mainland launch of the new product today, they officially announced the use of this technology.Honor Magic 5 Ultimate Edition. The Prestige Edition packs a larger 5,450mAh battery (compared to the 5,100mAh of the Pro itself) in the same size interior as the Magic 5 Pro. Honor named it the “Qinghai Lake” battery. Compared with the industry’s mainstream solutions, its energy density is 12.8% higher. It relies on low-voltage charge energy gathering technology to release the potential of the battery.
At the same time, the Prestige Edition is also different in appearance. The factory referred to the watch when designing the camera area, and added an octagonal “gem mirror” to it. The front of the device is also replaced with nano-ceramic curved glass, but other hardware specifications are basically copied from the Magic 5 Pro, mainly Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 6.81-inch 120Hz screen and 50MP rear triple camera. Taking the opportunity of this event, Honor also made a further introduction to the self-developed C1 RF enhancement chip that was not mentioned much at MWC. With the support of C1, the transmit and receive revenue of Magic 5 Pro and Ultimate Edition mobile communication antenna can be increased by 17% and 35% respectively, the Wi-Fi speed can be increased by up to 200%, and the delay can be reduced by up to 90%. For underground garages, shopping malls, elevators, subways and other signal “depression” scenarios, C1 also has targeted optimization.
The Honor Magic 5 Ultimate Edition is only available in 16+512 configurations and is priced at RMB 6,699. The official will also provide a gift box with a Mont Blanc custom protective case at a price of 7,499 RMB.
