We brought the Honor Magic8 Pro back with us from China, and while we’re tinkering with Honor’s latest flagship, we thought, why not do an unboxing?
It’s a short and sweet task – you get a USB cable, a SIM eject tool, and the phone. Depending on the model, you can enjoy either 100W (global) or 120W (Chinese) charging speeds, but you’d need to supply your own charger.
We had the chance to check out the blue-ish Mint Magic8 Pro while at Honor’s announcement event, and now we also have the silver-ish Gold. They share the wavy lines that appear on the rear panel under specific light.
A key improvement with the Magic8 Pro is the telephoto camera. The sensor, while still a 200MP 1/1.4-inch unit, is the newer ISOCELL HP9, and it’s an imager developed with zoom cameras in mind. The other improvement is the lens, now a native 85mm f/2.6 unit (up from 72mm).
Finally, in a related note, the Magic8 Pro adds a dedicated camera control button, something the Magic7 Pro didn’t have. But unlike the majority of phones that use a capacitive button, the Magic8 Pro has a physical button (just like the iPhone), and it’s a better implementation. The physical feedback you get is simply better than a vibration you’d receive on a competing phone.

Been rolling with this platform for a few weeks now and the vibe is just right. The bonuses are generous but never have crazy playthrough rules. I feel respected as a player and that makes all the difference. Keep up the great work. 33win69
