Honor is expected to announce the Honor Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro later this month in China. Reports have revealed that the lineup also includes two other models, such as the Magic 8 Mini and Magic 8 Ultra. Speculations are rife that these devices will debut in the first half of 2026. In a new leak, tipster Digital Chat Station has seemingly shared details about the Magic 8 Ultra’s primary camera.
Honor Magic 8 Ultra to feature 50MP OV50R main camera
The above leak claims that the Honor Magic 8 Ultra will be the first phone to feature the OmniVision OV50R 50-megapixel camera. This new sensor is expected to enter the mass production phase in Q1 2026.
The tipster further said that this 50-megapixel sensor features a large 1/1.3-inch size with 1.2μm pixel units and 100 percent QPD (Quad Phase Detection) for faster and more accurate autofocus. It supports the latest LOFIC technology, offering a dynamic range of up to 110dB, along with 4K triple-channel HDR and 10/12/14-bit RGB RAW output. Additionally, it includes DAG HDR support and boasts 20 percent lower power consumption compared to the OV50K sensor.
Other reports surrounding the Magic 8 Ultra have revealed that its camera setup will also include an ultra-wide lens and a 200-megapixel Samsung HP9 periscope telephoto camera with 4.3x to 7x optical zoom.
While there is no information available about the Honor Magic 8 Ultra’s other specs, it is likely to feature the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which powers the Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro. While the Magic 8 and 8 Pro are expected to release globally, it is unclear whether the Ultra edition will be made available in markets outside of China.
