Original post follows…
Honor has finally started teasing the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air in China. This is a new addition to the lineup, which already includes the Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro that debuted in October 2025. The new phone is positioned as a compact device packed with powerful specifications. While Honor has not officially revealed any hardware details yet, several Chinese tech bloggers have already leaked key information.
Honor Magic 8 Pro Air specifications (rumored)
Leaks suggest that the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air will feature a slim and lightweight design, measuring just 6.3mm in thickness and weighing around 158 grams. The phone is expected to sport a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, making it suitable for users who prefer compact phones without compromising on screen quality. On the software front, the device is said to run MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.
Powering the Magic 8 Pro Air is the Dimensity 9500 chipset. The phone is also tipped to house a 5,500mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging. However, reports suggest that the device may miss out on wireless charging support.
Camera specifications remain unclear at this stage, but reports claim that the Magic 8 Pro Air will include a telephoto camera. Given Honor’s track record with the Magic series, the phone is unlikely to be a slouch in the camera department, as the lineup is known for delivering top-notch photography performance.
The Magic 8 Pro Air is expected to be available in multiple colour options, including black, white, purple, and orange. Reports add that the device’s slimness and overall weight may vary slightly depending on the chosen color variant.
Honor Magic 8 Pro Air launch timeframe (expected)
Recent reports suggest that the Honor Magic 8 RSR, a more premium version of the existing Magic 8 Pro, will be announced before the Chinese New Year, which is scheduled to fall on Feb. 17. It is likely that the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air will debut alongside the Magic 8 RSR.
