Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 22 December 2025 — Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR today announced the pre-order of the HONOR Magic8 Pro, its latest AI camera flagship that redefines mobile photography through next-generation imaging and intelligent capabilities. Built to set a new benchmark for flagship smartphone experiences, the HONOR Magic8 Pro seamlessly integrates breakthrough AI imaging advancements with advanced performance and a human-centric AI Agent. This powerful combination empowers users to capture every moment with professional precision and effortless creativity, while also serving as an intuitive AI companion that genuinely understands user intent.

Flagship Photography: Redefining Night Telephoto Imaging with AiMAGE

HONOR elevates smartphone photography to new heights with the latest advancements in its AiMAGE Camera System, delivering unprecedented clarity, stability, and creative control powered by next-generation AI.

The HONOR Magic8 Pro introduces the industry’s most advanced AI telephoto system to date, featuring a 200MP AI Ultra Night Telephoto Camera[1] with a large 1/1.4-inch sensor, wide f/2.6 aperture, OIS, and up to 100X AI Super Zoom. This setup drastically improves light intake, delivering clearer details even at long distances.

Thanks to the industry-leading AI Adaptive Stabilization Model, the HONOR Magic8 Pro achieves the industry’s most stable CIPA 5.5-level[2]. It boasts a 4x improvement in shake detection accuracy and a 1x improvement in dynamic response.

The HONOR Magic8 Pro also debuts Magic Color, the industry’s first AI-powered color engine. Relying on advanced deep learning algorithms, it can intelligently extract 16.77 million colors. Through device-cloud collaborative color migration technology, it achieves efficient color tracking and processing for both global tonality and local fine-tuning, ensuring both high-quality output and smooth real-time preview.

AI Editing Tools to Perfect Every Shot

Beyond capture, the AI Photos Agent[3] enables one-tap to edit, including AI Eraser, AI Outpainting, AI Color, and AI Cutout. This allows for precise background removal, portrait refinement, artistic restyling, and complex image manipulation.

Instant Access to Photography and AI Features

To facilitate the capture of spontaneous moments, the new AI Button, a dedicated key independent from the power button, is mapped by default to launch Camera instantly with a double press, even from the lock screen. Users can customize its gestures to access AI Screen Suggestions, AI Settings Agent, AI Photos Agent⁴, and other features as desired.

Elevating the Intelligence Experience with Advanced AI Capabilities  

Running locally on MagicOS 10, HONOR AI makes every interaction more intuitive and efficient.

With a long press of the dedicated AI Button, users can directly access AI Screen Suggestions⁵. These intelligently adapt to the current scenario, activating features like AI Subtitles, AI Summary, and AI Deepfake Detection.

AI Search makes finding anything on your device incredibly simple. A quick, conversational prompt is enough to locate photos, files, messages, screenshots, and more without endless scrolling.

Furthermore, the AI Settings Agent processes user commands, whether typed or spoken, to understand semantic intent and provide responses in both text and voice.

For real-time communication protection, AI Deepfake Detection against face-swap during video calls, helping to ensure authenticity and safety in every conversation.

The HONOR Magic8 Pro comes pre-installed with Google Gemini[4], empowering users to interact seamlessly via text, voice, or image for comprehensive assistance on the go. This marks a significant step towards building a truly intelligent AI assistant – one that is conversational, intuitive, and genuinely helpful. Users can access information and answers with fewer steps, leveraging features like Overlay and Screen Context. Furthermore, they can streamline tasks and projects with advanced functionalities such as Nano Banana in Gemini, Veo 3, and Connected Apps. Gemini Live[5] further enhances interaction through real-time visual understanding and live translation, enabling it to recognize landmarks, read signs, and instantly translate menus or documents, effectively bridging physical and digital information.

Performance, Endurance & Display: Power Meets Comfort

Powered by the world’s fastest mobile system-on-a-chip, the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform[6], features significant improvements in CPU, GPU, and AI computing power compared to the previous generation, with benchmark scores demonstrating industry-leading performance. HONOR Magic8 Pro introduced the industry’s first GPU-NPU Heterogeneous AI super-resolution and frame-generation technology, designed to transform low-resolution, low-frame-rate gameplay into high-resolution, high-frame-rate experiences. This enables demanding open-world titles to achieve 120fps at 1080p from an original 60fps at 850p, delivering both super-resolution and ultra-high frame rates.

Its 7100mAh[7] silicon-carbon battery ensures all-day endurance, while 100W Wired and 80W Wireless HONOR SuperCharge provide ultra-fast, flexible recharging.
