Curious about the latest tech from China? We've got our hands on the Honor Magic8 Pro, fresh from its launch, and decided to give you a sneak peek! Forget the wait – let's dive into what you get when you unbox this flagship phone.
Inside the box, you'll find the essentials: a USB cable and a SIM eject tool. That's it! Now, here's a slight catch: you'll need to provide your own charger. Depending on your region, you might get either 100W (global) or a blazing 120W (Chinese) charging speed.
We got to see the blue-ish Mint Magic8 Pro at the announcement, and now we've got the silver-ish Gold version. Both share those cool wavy lines on the back that really pop in the light.
But here's where it gets exciting: the camera! The Magic8 Pro boasts a significant upgrade in its telephoto capabilities. While it still rocks a 200MP sensor (1/1.4-inch), it's the newer ISOCELL HP9, specifically designed for zoom cameras. The lens itself has also been improved, now a native 85mm f/2.6 unit, a step up from the previous 72mm.
And this is the part most people miss: The Magic8 Pro brings back a dedicated camera control button, a feature absent in the Magic7 Pro. But it's not just any button; it's a physical button, similar to what you'd find on an iPhone. The tactile feedback is far superior to the haptic buzz you get from competitors.
What do you think? Are physical buttons a must-have for phone cameras? Do you agree that the camera upgrades are a significant improvement? Share your thoughts in the comments!
