Honor Magic8 Pro presents itself as one of the most powerful flagship phones on the market, as it largely succeeds in combining durability and elegance thanks to its high build quality, matte frame, and IP69K protection certification.
The ultra-bright LTPO OLED screen enhances this experience, as it supports an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, a wide HDR range, and PWM technology that is comfortable for the eyes, in addition to additional features that reduce visual fatigue and ensure excellent clarity in various lighting conditions.
The phone relies on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which provides strong performance in daily use and gaming. However, performance decreases under constant stress due to lower frequencies, which prevents the maximum capacity of the processor from being exploited permanently.
On the other hand, the cameras stand out as one of the strengths, as they capture highly detailed images, provide effective periscopic zoom, and have good optical stabilization. While there is no variable aperture and colors in default mode tend to be bright and over-saturated, settings can still be adjusted to get more balanced results.
The ultra-wide lens performs acceptable with some blurring at the edges, while the telephoto lens maintains adequate quality even in low light.
In terms of additional features, the phone offers seven years of update support, a multi-use artificial intelligence button, in addition to advanced security systems that include an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and 3D facial recognition technology, which is a rare combination in Android phones.
The phone also provides a very good battery life despite the capacity of 6,270 mAh in the European version, with support for 100-watt fast charging, which significantly shortens the waiting time.
On the other hand, some negative points appear, such as the lack of a charger and cover inside the box, the absence of UWB support, in addition to the current limited capabilities of Wi-Fi 7. However, these observations do not materially affect the phone’s position, which remains strong within the flagship category.
