Honor’s next round of flagship phones might arrive a little sooner than expected. According to a new leak from tipster Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, the company is preparing to launch the Magic 8 lineup in mid-October.
That would put it a few weeks ahead of last year’s Magic 7 series, which debuted in late October before going on sale in early November 2024.
The Magic 8 series is rumored to include several models this year. In October, we may see the launch of the standard Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro, while a smaller Magic 8 Mini and a high-end Magic 8 Ultra could follow in early 2026.
What to expect?
According to previous leaks, the Magic 8 and 8 Pro will feature OLED displays measuring around 6.6 and 6.7 inches, respectively.
Both phones will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, have support for wireless charging, and ultrasonic under-display fingerprint scanners. The devices are also expected to feature larger batteries than their predecessors.
The Magic 8 Pro, in particular, may come with a 7000mAh cell and support for 90W wired charging.
The Magic 8 Mini, meanwhile, is said to take a different approach. It’s rumored to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chip, paired with a smaller 6.3-inch screen and a slimmer overall design.
As for the Magic 8 Ultra, it is expected to feature dual 200-megapixel cameras, one for the main sensor and another for a periscope telephoto lens. It will also run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip and may share features with the Magic 8 Pro, such as charging and display technology.
