Honor has finally launched its Magic7 series in Europe, bringing the Magic7 Pro and Magic7 Lite (review) to the continent. Let’s dive into what these phones offer.

Honor Magic7 Pro

Originally announced in China in late October, the Magic7 Pro now makes its way to international markets with a few adjustments. 

It has a 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED display that offers a 1280x2800px resolution, a 1-120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits for standard usage. HDR brightness climbs to an impressive 5,000 nits. Honor has also included a high-frequency PWM dimming at 4,320MHz for reduced eye strain.

The device is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM. It features a 5,270mAh battery that supports 100W wired and wireless charging. The battery is a downgrade from the 5,850mAh battery found in the Chinese variant and its predecessor’s 5,600mAh pack.

Despite the smaller battery, the Magic7 Pro retains its state-of-the-art camera system. It boasts a 50MP primary camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor and a two-step variable aperture (f/1.4-f/2.0). 

This is paired with a 200MP 3x periscope zoom camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor and a 50MP ultrawide lens with macro support to complete the rear setup. For selfies, there’s a 50MP front camera accompanied by a 3D camera for face scanning, all housed in a pill-shaped notch.

The Magic7 Pro runs MagicOS 9.0, layered over Android 15. It brings features like Magic Portal, AI-powered Honor Notes, real-time AI translation, and Gemini AI. Additionally, the device is IP68 and IP69 certified for protection against dust, water, and even hot water jets.

The Magic7 Pro is available in Lunar Shadow Grey and Black for €1,300/£1,100 (approximately ₹115,390). 

Honor Magic7 Lite

Coming to the Magic7 Lite features a smaller 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1224x2700px and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, coupled with 8GB of RAM, powers the device. At the same time, there’s a 6,600mAh battery with 66W fast charging support to fuel the phone. 

On the camera front, the Magic7 Lite includes a 108MP main sensor, a 5MP ultrawide camera, and a 16MP front-facing camera.

Priced at €370 (₹32,800) for the 8/256GB model and €400/£400 (₹35,500) for the 8/512GB version, the Magic7 Lite comes in Titanium Purple and Titanium Black.

Honor has officially launched the Magic 7 Lite smartphone in the Italian market, expanding its Magic 7 series lineup. This follows the October 2024 release of the Magic 7 and Magic 7 Pro in China, and the recent appearance of the Magic 7 Pro and Magic 7 Lite on an Italian shopping platform, signaling their European debut. The Magic 7 Lite is essentially a rebranded version of the Honor X9c which launched in Malaysia and Singapore a couple of months back.

Honor Magic 7 Lite Features

The Honor Magic 7 Lite boasts a curved 6.78-inch AMOLED display capable of rendering 1.07 billion colors with a peak brightness of 4000 nits and a resolution of 2700 × 1224 pixels. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor paired with an Adreno A710 GPU. The device operates on MagicOS 8.0, based on Android 14, and offers configurations of up to 8GB RAM and 512GB storage.

The smartphone features a dual rear camera setup, including a 108MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and a 5MP wide-angle camera. For selfies, it includes a 16MP front camera. The primary camera system is capable of 4K video recording and up to 10x digital zoom, whereas the front camera can shoot videos in 1080p and offers 2D facial recognition. The phone is backed by a massive 6600mAh Silicon-carbon battery supporting 66W fast charging.

Additional features include a fingerprint sensor, Ultra Bounce 2.0 anti-drop technology, and IP64 water and dust resistance. The device supports dual SIM, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, GPS (with AGPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo), and dual stereo speakers. It also integrates AI capabilities, Magic Capsule, and Portal features. The phone measures 162.8×75.5×7.98mm and weighs 189g.

Availability and Pricing

The Magic 7 Lite is available in Titanium Purple and Titanium Black color options. It is priced at €369.90 for the 8GB/256GB variant and €399.90 for the 8GB/512GB model. Customers can purchase the device directly through the Honor Italy website.

The post Honor Magic 7 Lite debuts in Europe featuring a 6.78″ Curved AMOLED display, 108MP main camera & 6600mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is gearing up to expand its flagship Magic 7 series globally, following its initial debut in China this October. Ahead of the official announcement, leaks have surfaced online revealing the European pricing, specifications, and color options for the Honor Magic 7 Lite and Magic 7 Pro. Meanwhile, Honor China has also teased a Porsche design variant for the series, alongside the announcement of its upcoming Honor Imaging Technology Conference.

European pricing and variants

According to details spotted by 91mobiles, the Honor Magic 7 Lite 5G will be available in an 8GB+512GB configuration, priced at €376.89 (approximately ₹33,200). It will come in black and purple color options. The higher-end Honor Magic 7 Pro 5G will retail at €1,225.90 (around ₹1,08,000) for its 12GB+512GB variant, offered in black and grey colors.

Interestingly, there’s no mention of the regular Honor Magic 7 model on the leaked website. However, the substantial price gap between the Lite and Pro variants suggests that a standard model could slot in between the two. Given that the Honor Magic 6 Pro was launched in India earlier this year, it’s reasonable to anticipate that the Magic 7 series will also make its way to Indian shores.

What to expect from the Honor Magic 7 Lite

The Honor Magic 7 Lite is expected to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2700 x 1224 pixels. Under the hood, it will likely pack the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor.

The rear camera setup is rumored to consist of a 108MP main sensor paired with a 5MP secondary shooter, while a 16MP sensor will handle selfies. The device will house a substantial 6,600mAh battery and run Android 14-based Magic OS 8.0. Notably, it won’t include a charger in the box and will weigh 189 grams. Compared to its predecessor, the Magic 6 Lite, the key improvement appears to be a larger battery. The phone has previously surfaced on the Google Play Console.

Honor Magic 7 Pro:

The Magic 7 Pro will boast a 6.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2800 x 1280 pixels, Dolby Vision support, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, clocked up to 4.3GHz, a noticeable upgrade from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Magic 6 Pro. The phone’s camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 200MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, along with a 50MP front-facing camera.

It will feature a 5,850mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. Additional highlights include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, IP68/IP69 certification, DTS:X Ultra audio, and Android 15-based Magic OS 9.

While the Lite model offers an affordable entry into the lineup, the Pro variant is packed with cutting-edge technology to appeal to users looking for a premium handset.

Honor is gearing up to launch a bunch of new smartphones soon, with a recent benchmark sighting revealing the chipsets of two upcoming models. One Honor 300 series phone just visited GeekBench along with the Magic 7 Lite. So let’s check it out.

Honor 300 & Honor Magic 7 Lite Chip Reveal

The brand is set to unveil the Honor 300 series of premium devices in China on 2nd December 2024. This lineup consists of the base Honor 300, Honor 300 Pro, Honor 300 Pro+, and Honor 300 Ultra. The higher end Pros and Ultra models are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which is a flagship grade processor. On GeekBench, an Honor 300 series model (Honor AMP-AN00) was spotted with this same chipset along with 16GB of RAM (Via 91Mobiles).

It was also listed running on the Android 15 OS out of the box. Earlier this month, the Honor 300 Pro+ was seen on the 3C certification as well, with satellite connectivity and more. Alongside this premium device, the Chinese brand is also working on a mid-range Magic 7 series model as well. The upcoming model is the Honor Magic 7 Lite (Honor BRP-NX1M). Unlike the Honor 300, the Magic 7 Lite was listed with 8GB of RAM and Android 14 OS out of the box. It is a more affordable phone since it packs the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC.

Looking at the GeekBench database, the Honor 300 series model achieved a score of 2133 points in the single core test and 6,655 points in the multi core test. Meanwhile, the Magic 7 Lite scored 934 points and 2768 points respectively. A couple of weeks ago, the latter was even seen on the Google Play Console platform as well. So stick around for more as we will be covering the launch of both phones.

Honor‘s Magic 7 series, launched earlier this year in China, might be getting a new budget-friendly member – the Magic 7 Lite. Evidence for this Lite variant surfaced after the device was spotted on the Google Play Supported Devices and Play Console databases.

We were expecting the Magic 7 Lite sooner or later as a successor to the Magic 6 Lite. But it seems it won’t be a completely new model as we had hoped.

Honor Magic 7 Lite could be a rebranded phone.

The device was listed in the Play Console database with model number HNBRP-Q1, the same as that of the Honor X9c which recently launched in Malaysia.

The Play Console listing does explicitly identify the device as the Magic 7 Lite, but expect the name, there won’t be much difference in terms of specs. We know that since the Play Console sheds some light on the Magic 7 Lite’s internals as well.

The listing reveals the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, paired with the Adreno 619 GPU and a generous 12GB of RAM. Storage capacity and camera details, however, remain a mystery for now.

The phone also shares the same resolution (1224×2700) as the X9c, adding weight to the possibility that this is a rebranded model. If they are indeed the same, we can expect the Magic 7 Lite to feature a large 6600mAh battery, a 6.78-inch curved OLED display, and a sturdy build rated for 2.2-meter drop resistance.

With the launch of the X9c fresh in mind, it’s tempting to connect the dots and assume the Magic 7 Lite is simply a regional rebrand. However, there’s a chance Honor has some modifications planned for this Lite variant. We’ll have to wait for an official announcement to understand the full picture.
