The HONOR Magic8 Pro Air has made its debut as a slim and lightweight flagship smartphone designed to avoid the usual trade-offs in cameras, battery life, and durability that often come with an ultra-thin design.
HONOR Magic8 Pro Air Specs
The HONOR Magic8 Pro Air features a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 1,216 x 2,640 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak local brightness of up to 6,000 nits.

It boasts an IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance and offers a physical Nano SIM slot that supports two cards alongside eSIM capability.
The HONOR Magic8 Pro Air uses a camera visor housing three sensors, led by a 23mm-equivalent 50MP main camera with OIS, alongside a 64MP periscope telephoto unit with 3.2x optical zoom and OIS, plus a 50MP ultrawide that doubles as a macro shooter.
The 5,500mAh Silicon-Carbon battery supports 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, catering to users who prioritize faster turnaround times when topping up. It’s powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9500, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and runs MagicOS 10 on top of Android 16.
