The Magic8 Pro Air marks Honor's entry into the ultra-slim smartphone sector. Set to be officially launched on January 19, this device measures a mere 6.1mm thick and weighs only 155g. It boasts a triple rear camera system, featuring a 50MP main shooter with a 1/1.3" sensor and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera.
Honor has now disclosed that the Magic8 Pro Air is equipped with a battery capacity of 5,500 mAh. While this is smaller compared to the offerings from other Chinese brands utilizing Si/C technology, it is notably 10% larger than the battery found in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, despite the thinner profile of the Honor device.
Honor claims to have integrated the highest energy density battery ever used in a flagship smartphone for the Magic8 Pro Air, reaching a density of 917Wh/l. The device supports 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
Earlier today, the Magic8 Pro Air was spotted in the Geekbench database, showcasing the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC alongside 16GB of RAM.
