Honor Magic8 Pro Key Specs Leak Ahead of Launch

Just days before its official debut, the Honor Magic8 Pro has once again stirred excitement in the smartphone world as key specifications leaked online, hinting at a powerhouse device designed to compete directly with flagship rivals from Samsung and Xiaomi.

The upcoming launch, scheduled for October 15 in China, has become one of the most anticipated tech events of the month.

The leak, attributed to the reputable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, outlines an impressive spec sheet. The Magic8 Pro will reportedly feature a stunning 6.71-inch quad-curved OLED display with a crisp 1.5K resolution – promising smooth visuals and vibrant colors. Under the display, Honor has fitted a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, marking a step forward in security and convenience. Additionally, users can expect 3D face recognition for quick and secure unlocks, blending cutting-edge biometrics into one sleek device.

Battery life looks to be a standout feature. The Magic8 Pro is rumored to pack a massive 7,200mAh battery supporting 120W wired fast charging, setting a new benchmark even among premium Android phones. On the camera front, the leaks suggest a triple-lens setup with dual 50MP sensors and an impressive 200MP telephoto lens. The main camera boasts an f/1.6 aperture and a 23mm equivalent lens, indicating that Honor is targeting photography enthusiasts who demand both detail and versatility.

Under the hood, the Magic8 series will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM. Geekbench listings have already confirmed the Qualcomm SM8850 chip and show promising results – scoring 3,424 in single-core and 10,318 in multi-core tests. It’s expected to launch with Android 16 out of the box, making it one of the first smartphones to ship with Google’s newest OS version.

Pricing and full specifications will be revealed at the official launch event on October 15, but with the rumored performance, display, and battery improvements, the Honor Magic8 Pro looks ready to make a bold statement – if only Honor would finally consider unlocking its bootloaders for the enthusiast crowd. Until then, fans can only hope this sleek flagship lives up to the hype.
