Honor has officially confirmed that it will launch the Magic 8 series on October 15 in China, alongside a few other new devices. The upcoming lineup includes the Honor Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro, both running the company’s new MagicOS 10, which is based on Android 16.
The event isn’t just about phones. Honor also plans to unveil the MagicPad 3, MagicPad 3 Pro, Magic Watch 5 Pro, and a new pair of Earbuds 4, all launching on the same day.
Among these, the MagicPad 3 Pro will make headlines as the first tablet powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This is the same flagship processor that will also power the Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro. The regular MagicPad 3, meanwhile, is rumored to feature last-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
What to expect?
Getting back to the phones, the Honor Magic 8 Pro will feature a 6.7-inch micro-quad-curved OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
It could pack a 7,200mAh battery with support for 120W wired and 80W wireless fast charging. On the back, the Pro model may carry a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, also with optical stabilization. A 50-megapixel selfie camera is expected up front. The phone will come in Rising Sun Gold, Azure, Snow White, and Velvet Black finishes.
The standard Magic 8 is rumored to offer a 6.58-inch flat display with the same 1.5K resolution, paired with a 7,000mAh battery and 90W fast charging. It likely skips wireless charging but might keep a similar camera setup with 50-megapixel primary, 50-megapixel ultra-wide, and 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.
Color options for the Magic 8 may include black, white, light blue, and gold.
