Honor Magic 8 Pro Air: Honor has officially launched two premium smartphones in China under its latest Magic 8 series — the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air and the ultra-premium Honor Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design. Both devices are positioned at the top end of Honor’s portfolio and are aimed at users who want cutting-edge hardware, next-generation software and bold design choices.
The Honor Magic 8 Pro Air focuses on portability and elegance. It features a compact 6.31-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, ultra-high peak brightness of up to 6,000 nits and a slim profile measuring just 6.1mm thick. Despite its lightweight build, the phone packs flagship power thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB internal storage. It runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16 and supports both physical SIM and eSIM.
On the other hand, the Honor Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design is built for users who want maximum performance and luxury. It comes with a larger 6.71-inch OLED panel offering rich colors, HDR support and the same 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, combined with up to 24GB LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB storage, making it ideal for heavy multitasking, gaming and professional use.
