However, the Honor Magic8 Pro phone provided strong performance in battery and charging tests, after initial quick experiments that included previews and initial tests.
Apparently, the battery size varies depending on the region; The Chinese version has a capacity of 7200 mAh, while the European version has a capacity of 6270 mAh, and there is a version for other markets with a capacity of 7100 mAh. Despite this difference, all versions are based on silicon carbon anode technology.
Although the European version is the lowest in capacity, it achieved an excellent result in the active use test, reaching 19 hours and 7 minutes, approaching the performance of competitors such as the Oppo Find X9 Pro, and clearly superior to the previous generation.
As for wired charging, the phone globally supports a capacity of 100 watts, whether via the Honor charger or via USB Power Delivery, while the Chinese version reaches 120 watts when using the company’s charger.
During tests, the phone was fully charged within 40 minutes using the Honor 100W charger, reaching 81% after 30 minutes. Similar USB PD chargers provided very close performance, with minor differences.
On the other hand, performance may be affected when using chargers that do not support PPS with capacities of 20 or 21 volts, as the voltage may drop to 9 volts and this is reflected in the charging speed. It also shows an additional period of approximately 25 minutes after reaching 100% to complete the final slow charge.
The phone supports wireless charging with a capacity of up to 80 watts via the official charger, while regular Qi2 chargers provided very low power, making it suitable for slow charging only.
