Honor has officially lifted the veil on its Magic 8 Series, setting new benchmarks for design, performance, and AI integration. The lineup includes the Magic 8, starting at RMB 4,499 (~SGD 875), and the Magic 8 Pro, priced from RMB 5,699 (~SGD 1,110).
Design & Colors
Both Magic 8 models share a sleek and modern aesthetic, though they stand apart in texture and detail.
- Magic 8 – Features a refined, elegant finish with a broader camera frame housed in a rounded-square module. It’s available in Rising Sun Gold, Celadon Gaze, Snowy White, and Velvet Black. The display boasts an ultra-narrow 1.18mm flat bezel, emphasizing symmetry and precision.
- Magic 8 Pro – Steps it up with a matte premium texture and subtly angular corners for a more professional vibe. Its color palette includes Rising Sun Gold Sand (signature), Azure Blue, Snow White, and Velvet Black.
Display
The Magic 8 Pro shines—literally—with a 6.71-inch OLED quad-curved display offering:
- 2808×1256 resolution
- 120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate (1–120Hz)
- 6000-nit peak brightness
- 4320Hz PWM dimming

This combination delivers a cinematic, smooth, and eye-friendly viewing experience—whether you’re gaming, streaming, or editing photos.
