Honor has officially confirmed the key features of the new Magic 8 Pro Air smartphone. The main focus is on the combination of a slim body and a Qinghai Lake battery with a capacity of 5500 mAh. The smartphone supports 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
This slim device not only features an impressive battery but also boasts the industry’s thinnest periscope telephoto lens with a 64 MP sensor (maximum optical zoom 3.2x, maximum zoom – 100x). The resolution of the main camera module is 50 MP, with an optical format of 1/1.3 inches. The device will feature a smart flash of 5 LEDs for perfect portrait shooting under various equivalent focal lengths. Previously, samples of photos taken by the Magic 8 Pro Air camera were published. At the core of the device’s hardware platform will be the top-of-the-line Dimensity 9500 SoC. According to the pre-order page for the Magic 8 Pro Air on JD.com, the top version will feature 16 GB of RAM, with flash memory options of 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB.
The competition for Honor’s new release is fierce, with similar models emerging as worthy rivals. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, with its 200 MP camera and 100x Space Zoom, offers a compelling alternative. Moreover, insights from industry experts suggest that the Magic 8 Pro Air’s aggressive pricing strategy could make it a strong contender in the premium smartphone market. Early reviews highlight its robust processing power, lightweight design, and ultra-fast charging capability as standout features.
