With a peak HDR brightness of 1800 nits and Innovative Display Luminance Improvement Technology, the HONOR Magic5 Series ensures crisp pictures even in direct sunlight. The HONOR Magic5 Pro has the best display color accuracy in the industry thanks to its Dual-Luminance Calibration for normal indoor brightness of 120 nits and outdoor brightness of 800 nits.
A Discrete Display Chipset is also included in the HONOR Magic5 Pro to enhance the visual appeal of moving pictures. The chipset delivers a greater frame rate with less power consumption for a smoother, longer gaming experience while providing an always-on high dynamic range (HDR) effect to improve video quality.

Circadian Night Display, which promotes better sleep, and an industry-first LTPO display with 2160Hz Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Dimming technology, which reduces screen flickering and is ideal for people who spend a lot of time using smartphones, are two more cutting-edge eye comfort features.
