Honor Magic 8 Pro Launches in the UK as Leaks Tease Ultra-Thin ‘Magic8 Pro Air’

Early reviews praise the 200MP telephoto, with CIPA 5.5 stabilization delivering sharper handheld night zooms.

Overview

  • Honor’s Magic 8 Pro is now on sale in the UK for £1,100 in Sunrise Gold, Sky Cyan and Black with broad carrier and retailer availability.
  • The flagship centers on a 200MP AI SuperNight telephoto using a 1/1.4-inch sensor, f/2.6 aperture, 3.7x optical zoom and an OIS system rated CIPA 5.5.
  • Reviewers report standout results from the 3.7x–10x range and say the telephoto’s natural bokeh and stability can replace a larger camera for some work, though very long zoom still trails multi-tele rivals.
  • Core hardware includes Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6,270mAh silicon‑carbon battery with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging, plus a dedicated AI button and on‑device tools alongside Google Gemini features.
  • Separately, unannounced Magic8 Pro Air leaks point to a roughly 6.1mm, 155g design with a protruding camera visor, a 5,500mAh battery with 80W charging and MediaTek Dimensity 9500, with a company manager teasing its lighter weight versus iPhone Air; launch timing and specs remain unconfirmed.
