Editorial report
Honor Magic 8 Pro Air 12 GB / 512 GB / China technical sheet
The Honor Magic8 Pro Air suits buyers looking for a high-end phone that is notably thin and light without making the display an afterthought. At 155 g and 6.1 mm, it is among the lightest and thinnest phones of its time. Its LTPO OLED display reaches 6,000 nits and 461 ppi, with 120 Hz, Dolby Vision and a 90.2% screen-to-body ratio.
IP68 and IP69 resistance, plus a 1.5 m waterproof depth, add protection to the design. The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 and 3,427,702 in AnTuTu place performance among the best of its time. The configuration shown has 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage; the phone is also sold from 12 GB / 256 GB to 16 GB / 1 TB.
The main camera combines 50 MP, a 1/1.3″ sensor, an f/1.6 aperture and optical stabilization. Its telephoto camera adds 3.2x optical zoom, among the best of its time. The 5,500 mAh battery is typical, but 80 W charging is better than most phones of its time and 50 W wireless charging is among the best. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and Dual Nano-SIM + eSIM complete the connectivity.
With an overall NeoScore of 9.0, the Honor Magic8 Pro Air is among the best phones of its time, especially for buyers prioritizing the display, performance, camera system and wireless charging.
