Honor has released the Magic 8 Pro in global markets after its initial debut in China last month. The international version is nearly identical to the Chinese model, with the only changes found in the battery size and wired charging speed.
Design and Display
The Magic 8 Pro features a 6.71-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K resolution of 1,256 x 2,808 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. Honor states that the panel can reach up to 6,000 nits of peak HDR brightness. The phone is rated IP68, IP69, and IP69K for dust and water resistance. It measures 161.15 x 75 x 8.32 mm and weighs 219 g. It is offered in Black, Sunrise Gold, and Sky Cyan.
Internals and Software
The device runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and the Adreno 840 GPU. Honor offers the phone with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, GPS, AGPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou, NFC, OTG, and USB-C.
The Magic 8 Pro uses an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and includes an accelerometer, gravity sensor, infrared sensor, gyroscope, compass, ambient light sensor, and proximity sensor.
