Barely months after the Honor Magic7 Pro’s November 2024 launch, leaks about its successor, the Magic8 Pro, are surfacing from China. The flagship is rumored to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset and a triple rear camera system mirroring its predecessor’s 50MP main, 50MP ultrawide, and 200MP periscope telephoto setup.
The Honor Magic8 Pro, expected to debut in October 2025, is already generating hype. Powered by Qualcomm’s unannounced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, it promises cutting-edge performance. The camera system, at first glance, seems identical to the Magic7 Pro’s: a 50MP, 1/1.3” main sensor, 50MP ultrawide, and 200MP periscope telephoto (1/1.4” Samsung ISOCELL sensor).
Magic 8 Pro to include notable software-driven camera upgrades
The main camera is set to shine with software enhancements like “smooth frame transition,” “super frame synthesis,” faster focusing, better dynamic range, and lower power consumption, per a Weibo post by Digital Chat Station.
These tweaks suggest Honor is focusing on refining the Magic7 Pro’s already impressive AI Falcon Camera System, which earned praise for its 100x zoom and vibrant shots. While the sensor hardware appears unchanged, the improved processing could elevate low-light performance and video stability.
To recall, the Magic 7 Pro features a flat design with slightly rounded edges on the back. It packs a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 1280 x 2800 resolution, a pill-shaped cutout housing a TOF 3D sensor for secure face unlocking, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and a 5,850mAh battery — all protected by an IP68/IP69-rated dust and water-resistant body.
The Magic8 Pro’s early leak follows rumors of a smaller non-Pro Magic8, hinting at a diverse lineup. With MagicOS 10 (Android 16), the Magic8 Pro could build on the Magic7 Pro’s global success. As October 2025 nears, expect more leaks to flesh out this flagship’s story—Honor is clearly not slowing down.
