Honor recently launched the Magic7 Pro and is now rumored to be developing its successor, the Magic8 Pro. This upcoming model will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC and a triple rear camera system: a 50 MP main, 50 MP ultrawide, and a 200 MP periscope telephoto lens, similar to its predecessor. However, improvements in the main camera are expected, although hardware changes remain unclear. The Magic8 Pro is anticipated to offer enhanced camera capabilities, including smoother frame transitions and improved focusing speed, with a possible unveiling in October. More details will emerge as the release date approaches.
Honor introduced the Magic7 Pro in October and made it available in November. Today, we are already hearing the first whispers about its successor, the Magic8 Pro, straight from China. Last month, we learned that the non-Pro version of the Magic8 will be smaller than the Magic7.
Rumor has it that the Magic8 Pro will feature Qualcomm’s forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC (or whatever its final name will be) along with a triple rear camera configuration: a 50 MP main sensor, a 50 MP ultrawide, and a 200 MP periscope telephoto lens.

On paper, this resembles last year’s setup, but the main camera is expected to see enhancements—though it remains unclear if any hardware changes are in the works since the sensor retains the same 1/1.3″ type size as the Magic7 Pro. Nonetheless, anticipate that the Magic8 Pro will include “smooth frame transition,” “super frame synthesis,” quicker focusing times, optimized dynamic range, and improved power efficiency for the camera overall.
These are the details available so far, but we’re bound to encounter more rumors about the Honor Magic8 Pro as its launch approaches, likely set for October.
