Honor‘s Magic 7 series, launched earlier this year in China, might be getting a new budget-friendly member – the Magic 7 Lite. Evidence for this Lite variant surfaced after the device was spotted on the Google Play Supported Devices and Play Console databases.
We were expecting the Magic 7 Lite sooner or later as a successor to the Magic 6 Lite. But it seems it won’t be a completely new model as we had hoped.
Honor Magic 7 Lite could be a rebranded phone.
The device was listed in the Play Console database with model number HNBRP-Q1, the same as that of the Honor X9c which recently launched in Malaysia.
The Play Console listing does explicitly identify the device as the Magic 7 Lite, but expect the name, there won’t be much difference in terms of specs. We know that since the Play Console sheds some light on the Magic 7 Lite’s internals as well.
The listing reveals the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, paired with the Adreno 619 GPU and a generous 12GB of RAM. Storage capacity and camera details, however, remain a mystery for now.
The phone also shares the same resolution (1224×2700) as the X9c, adding weight to the possibility that this is a rebranded model. If they are indeed the same, we can expect the Magic 7 Lite to feature a large 6600mAh battery, a 6.78-inch curved OLED display, and a sturdy build rated for 2.2-meter drop resistance.
With the launch of the X9c fresh in mind, it’s tempting to connect the dots and assume the Magic 7 Lite is simply a regional rebrand. However, there’s a chance Honor has some modifications planned for this Lite variant. We’ll have to wait for an official announcement to understand the full picture.
