Honor is preparing to introduce the Magic 8 Pro Air, a slim flagship smartphone that combines a lightweight frame with strong camera hardware. The device has appeared in recent teasers, highlighting its thin profile and periscope telephoto lens.
Key Design Features
The phone measures just 6.1mm thick and weighs 155g, making it lighter than competitors such as the iPhone Air (165g) and Galaxy S25 Edge (163g). This focus on reduced weight aims to improve one-handed use while keeping a premium feel.
Camera Setup
The rear triple-camera system includes a 64MP periscope telephoto lens with 3.2x optical zoom (and up to 100x digital zoom), f/2.6 aperture, 74mm equivalent focal length, and optical image stabilization (OIS).
The main sensor uses a large 1/1.3-inch type with 50MP resolution, f/1.6 aperture, and OIS. It pairs with a 50MP ultrawide lens (f/2.2 aperture, 112-degree field of view). The front camera is a 50MP unit.
Other Specifications
- Display: 6.31-inch (or approximately 6.3-inch) OLED panel with 1.5K resolution.
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset.
- Battery: 5,500mAh capacity with 80W wired fast charging.
- Memory: Up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.
- Software: MagicOS 10 based on Android 16, with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
The device comes in four shades: Fairy Purple, Light Orange, Feather White, and Shadow Black. Storage options include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
Launch Details
Honor plans to unveil the Magic 8 Pro Air in China on January 19, 2026, alongside the Magic 8 RSR. Pre-orders are already available on platforms like JD.com.
This model stands out in the slim phone category by avoiding heavy trade-offs in battery size or camera features. More details will emerge closer to the event.
