Honor is getting ready to launch its new Magic8 series, and this time, there’s something for everyone—including a smaller phone. Here’s what we know right now, based only on the latest and most trusted leaks from China.
Design & Build
Honor’s upcoming Magic8 lineup is set to feature three models — the standard Magic8, a higher-end Magic8 Pro, and a new addition called the Magic8 Mini. The Mini is expected to be the smallest, with a 6.3-inch screen. The regular Magic8 will have a 6.58-inch display, and the Pro will be a bit bigger at 6.7 inches. All three are likely to have slim bodies and easy-to-hold designs, but exact details on weight and materials are not out yet.
Display
The Magic8 Mini will feature a 6.3-inch display, making it a good pick for people who want a phone that’s easy to handle. The Magic8 will have a 6.58-inch screen, and the Magic8 Pro will come with a 6.7-inch display. This means both the regular and Pro models are slightly smaller than last year’s Magic7 series, which could help with one-handed use.
Processor
Honor is mixing things up with different chips for each model. The Magic8 Mini will use MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500 processor, which is expected to be fast and power-efficient. The Magic8 and Magic8 Pro will both get the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, Qualcomm’s latest top chip, so you can expect smooth gaming and quick app loading on these two.
Cameras
Rear Camera
There’s not much official info yet about the cameras on the Mini or the regular Magic8. However, the Magic8 Pro is rumored to have a powerful setup: a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a huge 200MP periscope telephoto camera for super zoomed-in shots.
Front Camera
No official details are out yet about the front cameras for any of the Magic8 models. More leaks are expected soon.
Battery
Right now, there are no confirmed details about battery size or charging speeds for the Magic8 series. We’ll update as soon as more is revealed by Honor or trusted sources.
Software
All three phones are expected to launch with the latest version of Honor’s MagicOS, based on Android. This should bring new features and a smooth, user-friendly experience.
Audio & Haptics
There’s no official info yet about speakers or vibration motors for the Magic8 series. We’ll share more when Honor announces these details.
