As Honor gears up to launch its flagship “Magic 8” series of smartphones, some of its details have started spilling on the internet. And like always, Honor’s upcoming flagship phones will have a big emphasis on the camera experience. With the Honor Magic 8 Pro potentially grabbing the title of the first phone in the world with dual 200MP cameras.
Honor Magic 8 Pro rumors roundup
A one-of-a-kind camera setup
Like I mentioned before, the Magic 8 Pro might be the first to sport a dual 200MP camera. There have been reports that Honor has been working on a new primary and an upgraded periscope sensor, which we might see in this device. Its 200MP main camera is likely to be an Omnivision sensor, while there are no details on that new 200MP periscope camera. Yet.
Some rumors even suggested that Honor will use the switchable dual zoom lenses with a single sensor — like the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra — although this was disproved by an Honor official. Saying that Honor’s solution was a “better technology”.
Display and battery
Other than this, the Honor Magic 8 Pro could bring a 6.71-inch flat OLED display smartphone. And since this is a flagship phone, Honor might make it IP68/IP69 rated as well and give it a premium glass build.
One of the major upgrades from the Honor Magic 7 Pro comes in terms of battery size since the Magic 8 Pro might feature a mammoth 7,000 mAh battery. A huge upgrade compared to a 5,850 mAh unit on its predecessor. But it seems at least the wired charging speed will remain the same at 100W.
Upcoming Snapdragon chip
And of course, the Honor Magic 8 Pro is also expected to be one of the first smartphones to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip.
The Honor Magic 8 lineup recently received the 3C certification in China as well. And it reveals that at least one of the phones in this lineup will have BeiDou satellite messaging support. This is the same satellite connectivity we will see in the upcoming Redmi Note 15 Pro+ as well.
