HONOR has just announced the Magic7 series smartphones in China. The global launch of the Magic7 series will follow later on, we’re still not sure when. In this article, we’ll focus on the ‘Pro’ variant of the device.

The Magic7 Pro is made out of metal and glass. HONOR opted for a flat display this time around. There is also a pill-shaped cutout at the top of it. Advanced facial scanning is supported here, and HONOR also offers Dynamic Island-esque software features.

The HONOR Magic7 Pro is packed with AI features and fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite​

The company says that it’s “committed to delivering the most intuitive AI smartphone experience for users” and that these phones come “with a range of AI-enhanced features, bringing groundbreaking advancements on photography capabilities, display, and hardware performance”.

The HONOR Magic7 Pro is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The HONOR C2 communication chip is also included, and the device comes in 12GB and 16GB RAM flavors, both use LPDDR5X RAM. The 12GB RAM model comes with 256GB of storage, while the 16GB RAM model is available in both 512GB and 1TB flavors. UFS 4.0 flash storage is on offer, by the way.

The Magic7 Pro features a triple camera setup on the back, led by a 50-megapixel main camera. A 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera is also included, as is a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera.

HONOR is using a 1/1.3-inch Super Dynamic HONOR Falcon Camera H9000 HDR sensor here with a huge f/1.4 adjustable aperture lens. HONOR says that the main camera “captures intricate details and enhanced brightness across various lighting situations”.

HONOR made a huge improvement to the periscope telephoto camera​

That 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, on the other hand, has “the industry’s largest” 1/1.4-inch sensor. The HONOR Magic7 Pro is also enhanced by the HONOR Image Engine 3.0. That engine adds portrait refinement, light and shadow enhancement, snapshot enhancement, and telephoto optimization.

A 5,850mAh battery sits inside the HONOR Magic7 Pro. That is the company’s third-gen silicon-carbon battery. HONOR promises that this phone will showcase “unparalleled battery performance”. For that purpose, the HONOR E2 4-in-1 Power Enhance Chip is also included.

100W wired & 80W wireless charging is supported​

What about charging? Well, 100W wired and 80W wireless HONOR SuperCharge charging is on offer. The phone’s audio was verified by SGS Five-star Audio Performance and has Spatial Audio certification.

A large 6.8-inch flat LTPO AMOLED display offers an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120Hz. It has a resolution of 2800 x 1280. The peak brightness here is, in theory, 5,000 nits. This display also offers a range of “eye-comfort features aimed at promoting users’ vision health and comfort”. Those features are a Circular Polarized Display, which also has the HONOR AI Defocus tech. It offers high-frequency PWM dimming too, at 4,320Hz, and more. It is also TUV Rheinland Full Care Display 4.0 certified.

Android 15 comes out of the box with MagicOS 9.0 on top of it​

Android 15 comes pre-installed on the phone with HONOR’s MagicOS 9.0 on top. This phone does support 5G connectivity, offers Bluetooth 5.4 support, and has a set of stereo speakers. An in-display fingerprint scanner is also included.

The HONOR Magic7 Pro’s pricing starts at CNY5,699 ($800) in China, though the price tags will be notably different globally. The phone comes in Moonlight (silver), Snow Domain White (white), Sky Blue (metallic blue) and Velvet Black (black) colors. It measures 162.7 x 77.1 x 8.8mm, and weighs 223 grams.

HONOR announced its Magic7 series smartphones today. Both vanilla and ‘Pro’ models have been announced. We’ve already covered the Magic7 Pro launch, and are here to focus on the vanilla variant.

The HONOR Magic7 is inferior to the ‘Pro’ model, but still a high-end phone​

The HONOR Magic7 is slightly smaller and cheaper than the ‘Pro’ model, of course. It’s made out of metal and glass, and it does resemble its larger sibling. It also has a flat display, but it includes a regular camera display hole, not a larger pill-shaped one. The Magic7 does not come with 3D facial scanning, which is why. It does include regular facial scanning via the front-facing camera.

The bezels on the phone are thin, and HONOR used a flat display here. The frame all around is flat, but it does curve a bit towards the edges. Three cameras sit inside the phone’s camera island on the back, which is centered up top.

It has a big, bright AMOLED display and Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC​

HONOR opted for a 6.78-inch 2800 x 1264 AMOLED display here. It’s an LTPO OLED panel with an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120Hz. The bezels are very thin and uniform here, by the way. This phone supports high PWM dimming at 4,320Hz, and a peak brightness of 5,000 nits.

Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor fuels this handset. It has the same chip as the ‘Pro’ model, even though some rumors suggested that the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 could be included instead.

There are three different models on offer in China, in regards to RAM and storage. One 12GB RAM model is on offer, with 256GB of RAM. The 16GB RAM variant comes in both 512GB and 1TB flavors. LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage are used by HONOR.

100W wired & 80W wireless charging is supported here​

A 5,650mAh battery sits on the inside of this phone. The device supports 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. Android 15 comes pre-installed, along with HONOR’s MagicOS 9.0.

The camera setup is a bit different than on the ‘Pro’ model, as expected. The HONOR Magic7 includes a 50-megapixel main camera (1/1.3-inch sensor size, f/1.9 aperture, 24mm lens, OIS), along with a 50-megapixel ultrawide unit (f/2.0 aperture, 122-degree FoV, 2.5mm macro). A third camera is also a 50-megapixel one, a periscope telephoto unit (3x optical zoom, f/2.4 aperture, OIS, 50x digital zoom).

The HONOR Magic7 measures 162.1 x 75.8 x 7.95mm, while it weighs 199 grams. The phone comes in Bronze, Moonlight (silver), Show Domain White (White), Sky Blue (metallic blue), and Velvet Black (black) colors. Its pricing starts at CNY4,499 ($631) in China. It will cost more globally, of course.

Hi gurus, if buy cn set, no esim support right?

The HONOR Magic7 and Magic7 Pro handsets were announced yesterday in China. HONOR also revealed the Porsche Design HONOR Magic7 RSR phone’s design. With that being said, it was just confirmed that the HONOR Magic7 series will launch globally.

The HONOR Magic7 series smartphones will launch globally… it’s official​

This is something everyone expected, as HONOR announced its Magic flagships globally every year. It doesn’t hurt to make it official, though, which is what the company’s global PR head just did. Bhavya Siddappa went to X to confirm it, and she also said that they’re coming to global markets soon.

It is worth noting that this launch event came around sooner than usual. The HONOR Magic6 series was announced back in January. Many people expected the Magic7 series to arrive in January 2025. However, HONOR wanted to get on board the Snapdragon 8 Elite train as soon as possible, as did many other companies.

The HONOR Magic7 and Magic7 Pro are true flagships. The ‘Pro’ model is a bit larger and has a more compelling camera setup. However, the vanilla model is considered a flagship too, as it’s immensely powerful.

The two phones have very compelling cameras and blazing fast charging​

The two phones have three cameras on the back, and both of them include periscope telephoto cameras. They’re different, though. Both devices support 100W wired and 80W wireless charging and have LTPO AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 5,000 nits.

Android 15 also comes pre-installed on both of those phones. On top of it, you’ll find a new version of HONOR’s Android skin, MagicOS 9.0. It’s packed with AI features, as you’d expect. It remains to be seen which of those features will make their way to global markets, though.

HONOR also showed off the Porsche Design HONOR Magic7 RSR’s design during the event. That phone will also be coming to global markets. It will launch in December, though we’re not sure if that goes for both China and global markets, as it’s not yet official.

just nice for CNY?

[Innocuous*]

I am inclined to get the standard set instead of pro set as it is light and thinner. Hopefully, they will bring in the white colour model.

Hi gurus, if buy cn set, no esim support right?

No. As far I knew China don't allow eSIM.

[perfectlight]

Only in china so far

 

[OutBreak]

No. As far I knew China don't allow eSIM.

Due to national security?

 

[Beefsteak]

tempted to get the CN set without waiting for global.
Without esim is it a big issue since I don't use it?
And also the lack of android auto?
Banking apps etc etc and payment using NFC?
biggest concern is google pay since I use it often.
