Honor's popular new series, Magic 5, is finally opening up to the global market
After a brief period of anticipation, the Honor Magic 5 series, introduced by Honor a while ago, is gearing up to secure its place in the global market.
During the MWC 2023 tech event earlier this year, Honor, a reputable name in the smartphone industry, unveiled its flagship models - the Magic 5, Magic 5 Pro, and Magic 5 Ultimate. The company also assured that the Magic 5 series would be reaching global markets in this year's second quarter. True to its word, the Magic 5 and 5 Pro models made their debut in Malaysia in April, with the Pro model making a subsequent appearance in the UK market. Now, further market expansion seems imminent for the Magic 5, as it has recently received approval in Singapore.
In a recent development, the IMDA authority of Singapore granted approval to the Honor Magic 5, identifiable through its model number PGT-N09. This certification strongly suggests that the Magic 5's launch in Singapore could be right around the corner.
