HONOR has launched its Magic8 Series in the Chinese mainland, unveiling what it calls the first "Self-Evolving AI Smartphone" lineup. At the core is the flagship Magic8 Pro, engineered to elevate daily tasks, imaging, and performance with next-gen AI tools.
Powered by the updated YOYO Agent, the Magic8 series can automate tasks across more than 3,000 scenarios—from sorting out blurry screenshots to tallying work expenses and drafting emails. A new AI Button offers one-touch access to features like live content recognition during video calls and on-demand camera activation. Behind the scenes, YOYO Memories builds a private, searchable knowledge library by analyzing users' photos, chat records, and documents—all while promising user privacy.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Magic8 Pro's 200MP Ultra Night Telephoto Camera, featuring a 1/1.4-inch sensor that captures more light for clearer, detailed shots of distant subjects at night. HONOR's AI anti-shake technology boosts the odds of crisp zoomed images sevenfold without a tripod, achieving an industry-leading CIPA 5.5 stabilization standard. Plus, the new Magic Color engine reproduces up to 16.77 million colors, letting creators apply cinematic or personalized color styles to their photos with ease.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip leverages AI to upscale low-resolution games to 1080p at 120 frames per second, ensuring smooth transitions and responsive gameplay. The Magic8 Pro also packs a 7,200mAh battery—larger than most flagships—supported by three power management chips and 120W wired plus 80W wireless fast charging. In practical tests, wired charging can refill a drained battery in roughly 30 minutes, keeping up with the pace of modern digital life.
With its blend of AI-driven productivity, night-ready imaging, and gaming-friendly performance, the Magic8 Series positions itself as a tech-savvy choice for young global citizens, entrepreneurs, content creators, and digital nomads looking for a smartphone that adapts to their evolving needs.
