Honor Magic 8 Air: A New Contender in the Ultra-Slim Smartphone Arena

It is now clear what the Honor Magic 8 Air smartphone looks like, which is expected to be lighter than the iPhone Air. As seen in the image, the device resembles modern Pixel smartphones, although similarities to the iPhone Air can also be found. Insider Ice Universe shared the image, noting that the new model will have a body thickness of 6.3 mm and weigh 158 g. By comparison, the iPhone Air measures 5.6 mm and weighs 165 g.

Yes, the difference in thickness is noticeable, but it seems Honor did not aim to create the thinnest smartphone. Instead, despite its very slim body, it is expected to feature a 5500 mAh battery and a display with a diagonal of 6.3 inches. This means the smartphone will be very thin, very light, compact overall, but with a decent battery. Such a combination is generally unheard of today. Yes, you could think of the Vivo X200 Pro mini, but it is significantly thicker and heavier.

The Honor novelty has also been rumored to feature a Dimensity 9500 SoC and support for 80-watt charging. Ice Universe was the first to accurately report on the new trend towards waterfall-screen smartphones, the notch in the iPhone X, the new design of the iPhone 14, and Samsung’s 200-megapixel image sensor. Exclusive information about new products is leaked to him by sources in the research and development department of the South Korean giant.
