Ultra-thin phones in 2025 show some clear compromises, especially in camera performance, even though they are classified in the upper category. However, neither Apple with the iPhone Air nor Samsung with the Galaxy S25 Edge were able to provide a competitive photography experience, unlike what Honor offered.
The Magic8 Pro Air phone relies on an integrated camera that includes a 64-megapixel telephoto lens with optical stabilization, allowing optical zoom of up to 3.2x and zoom capabilities of up to 100x.
It also comes with a 50-megapixel main camera with a large sensor size of 1/1.3 inches and an f/1.6 lens aperture, which is specifications superior to competitors that use smaller sensors.
Photos taken with the phone show strong performance, with clearer details and better dynamic range compared to phones like the iPhone 17, along with more balanced colors. The phone also excels in some aspects even when compared to powerful devices such as the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Overall, the Magic8 Pro Air proves that a slim phone does not necessarily mean sacrificing camera quality, but rather it can provide an advanced photography experience within a compact design.
