Honor Magic 8 revealed: sleek design and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 confirmed
With a 200-megapixel back camera, the Honor Magic 8 series is anticipated to make its debut in October, according to a previously rumored launch schedule and camera configuration. One of the main features of the phone has now been revealed by the corporation. Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 CPU, which was revealed on Wednesday, will power it. The Honor Magic 8’s design has also been made public and is consistent with earlier leaks. The business is anticipated to make an announcement shortly on the launch date of its upcoming flagship devices.
Design and Specifications of the Honor Magic 8 Series (Anticipated)
The Honor Magic 8 series will be powered by Qualcomm’s top Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer said shortly after the unveiling of the flagship chip. However, it won’t be the first phone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 to be released in China. On Thursday, the Xiaomi 17 series of smartphones—which will rival Honor’s next phones—will make their Chinese premiere.
The pictures imply that the Honor Magic 8 series phone may have a metal frame and narrow bezels. Additionally, there are buttons for volume control and power on the right side. It’s interesting to note that one of the pictures also features a brand-new button that is flushed inside the frame. It looks a lot like the Camera Control button that Apple debuted with the iPhone 16 series. The Verge received confirmation from the business that this will be a dedicated AI button.
According to a Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station, the Honor Magic 8 will have a rear-facing camera lens with an f/1.9 aperture. The focal length of the ultrawide lens is reportedly 12 mm, whilst the focal length of the 3x periscope sensor may be 72 mm. For unlocking the phone, it may have a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Like its predecessor, it might also have an IP68 classification for protection to water and dust.
According to recent sources, the normal Magic 8, Magic 8 Mini, Magic 8 Pro, and Magic 8 Max may all be part of the Honor Magic 8 series. But according to reports, only two of the lineup’s models will go on sale in mid-October. The Magic 8 Pro and Magic 8 Max may have 6.7-inch and 6.9-inch screens, respectively, while the normal Honor Magic 8 model may have a 6.58-inch display.
