The Xiaomi 17 and Vivo X300 have recently entered the Chinese market as compact flagship phones, each featuring a 6.3-inch display. Now, Honor is reportedly preparing to join the trend with its own compact offering, expected to debut next year. Although the official name has not been confirmed, reports suggest it will be called the Honor Magic 8 Mini. In a new Weibo post, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has shared several key details about the device ahead of its official launch.
Honor Magic 8 Mini specifications (rumored)
According to the leak, the Honor Magic 8 Mini will feature a 6.31-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, offering a compact yet premium viewing experience. For security, the phone will include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, a feature usually seen on flagship-grade models.
The device is expected to be powered by a Dimensity 9500 series chipset, although an earlier report suggested it could use the Dimensity 9500+, an overclocked version of the same processor for better performance. While the leak does not reveal details about the battery size, charging speed, RAM, or storage, it does confirm that the handset will support wireless charging.
On the imaging front, the Magic 8 Mini is said to feature a 200-megapixel primary camera paired with a periscope telephoto lens, aimed at delivering high-quality zoom photography. However, it is not yet clear whether the device will include an ultra-wide-angle camera. The Honor Magic 8 Mini is expected to launch alongside the Magic 8 Ultra in the first half of 2026.
Other compact phones in the making
Besides the Magic 8 Mini, several other compact flagship phones are expected to debut in China in early 2026. These include the Oppo Find X9+, OnePlus 15T, and iQOO 15 Mini, all set to compete in the growing compact flagship segment.
