Design and build

The phone measures 161.2 x 75 x 8.3mm and weighs 219g. The front uses Honor’s NanoCrystal Shield on international models, while the back uses fibre-reinforced plastic. It carries IP68 and IP69K ratings, so it resists dust, immersion and high-pressure water. Colour options are Sunrise Gold, Sky Cyan, Black and White.

Display

The 6.71-inch LTPO OLED display has 1256 x 2808 pixels, about 458 pixels per inch. It adjusts its refresh rate up to 120Hz. Brightness is exceptional, reaching 1800 nits in high brightness mode and 6000 nits peak. It supports Dolby Vision and uses 4320Hz PWM dimming, which helps people sensitive to screen flicker.

Performance and software

Inside is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 3nm chip with CPU cores reaching 4.6GHz and an Adreno 840 GPU. It is among the fastest chips available. You can choose 12GB or 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. The phone launched with MagicOS 10 on Android 16, and Honor lists up to seven major Android upgrades, which is excellent long-term support.

Cameras

The main camera uses a 50MP sensor with an f/1.6 aperture and optical stabilisation. The star is a 200MP periscope telephoto with an 85mm focal length, ideal for portraits and distant subjects. An ultrawide camera completes the setup. Laser autofocus and a colour spectrum sensor improve focus and colour. Video reaches 4K at up to 120fps with 10-bit recording. The 50MP front camera works with a 3D depth sensor for secure face unlock.

Battery and charging

Battery size depends on the region: 7100mAh globally, 6270mAh in Europe and 7200mAh in China. Global models support 100W wired charging, and all versions support 80W wireless charging. Reverse wireless charging lets you top up earbuds or another phone.

Connectivity

You get 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 with many audio codecs, and NFC. The USB-C 3.2 port supports DisplayPort output. International models support two nano-SIMs plus eSIM. An ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor adds fast, secure unlocking.

Tips for new owners

When setting up the phone, check that your region’s version has the battery size you expect, since it differs by market. Install MagicOS updates promptly to benefit from the long support promise. Try the 200MP telephoto in daylight for the best results. Use the original charger to reach 100W. If you use eSIM, confirm your network supports it first. Finally, pick a case that fits the camera bump properly, as the large module can scratch easily.

How it compares

Compared with the Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design, the Magic8 Pro uses a newer chip and a bigger battery on global models, with a similar 200MP zoom camera. Rival flagships from Samsung and Apple offer strong cameras too, but few match its battery size and update promise together.
