There's a smallish number of devices that have ever failed that test, and having two of them do it in a year isn't a great ad for the brand's focus on durability, even though these tests are way more extreme than what most people might subject their phones to in day-to-day life (unless you like to put it in your back pocket, caseless, and have a tendency to forget it's there and sit on it). So, with all this in mind, you're probably...

Hands-on: Honor Magic5 Pro

Honor's Magic5 series got a quiet start with the Magic5 Lite, but the company was saving its best performance for the MWC – the new Honor Magic5 Pro is an all-round flagship that builds on last year's design.
