Honor Magic8 RSR vs Honor Magic8 Pro
Comparison between Honor Magic8 RSR and Honor Magic8 Pro: camera, battery, fast charging, display, performance and colors, side by side. More phones from Honor.
NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
Honor Magic8 RSR suits buyers seeking the highest measured performance and faster charging, while Honor Magic8 Pro is the better fit for storage, connectivity, and Google services. The Pro has the stronger overall package, but the RSR keeps two decisive advantages: 4,027,702 AnTuTu points versus 3,647,824 and 120W versus 100W.
Both phones weigh 219g and measure 8.3mm thick, but the RSR uses ceramic while the Pro combines glass, plastic, and aluminum alloy. The Pro adds a rugged build and IP69K alongside the RSR’s IP68 and IP69, while its LTPO OLED display differs from the RSR’s OLED. Storage is 512GB on the RSR and 1TB on the Pro, a clear difference for anyone keeping many files.
The Honor Magic8 Pro brings eSIM, Google services, and satellite connectivity; the RSR has two Nano-SIMs and no Google services. It also adds tri-band Wi-Fi, compared with the RSR’s dual-band Wi-Fi. Both share 63 hours per cycle, 80W wireless charging, and 16GB of RAM, leaving a choice between the RSR’s performance and charging and the Pro’s storage, compatibility, and connectivity.
