After Xiaomi officially unveiled their Snapdragon 8 Elite phones, it is HONOR’s turn to formally introduce their 2025 flagship devices. For HONOR’s case, it feels unusual that the unveiling of the Magic7 series in China comes roughly 10 months after the Magic6 series–but to HONOR’s credit, there are enough upgrades with the Magic7 series.
For the Pro model, the 180-megapixel telephoto camera of its predecessor is now upgraded to a new 1/1.4-inch 200-megapixel sensor, which is huge and is something you’d use more for the main shooter. The telephoto camera still has a 2.5x zoom, along with digital zoom of up to 100x.
The rest of the cameras are the same, so you’re getting the same 50-megapixel main camera with a variable aperture and OIS, a 50-megapixel selfie camera with an accompanying 3D scanner, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide with macro functionality.
The display of the Magic7 Pro is a 6.8-inch LTPO OLED panel with a micro-quad curve design and 120hz variable refresh rate. It has a peak brightness of 5000nits when viewing HDR content, along with 4320hz PWM dimming. The battery on the Pro model is substantial at 5850mAh and supports 100w wired and 80w wireless charging.
Moving to the Magic7, you get a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED panel that’s flat, along with the same set of characteristics found on the Pro model. It’s battery is relatively huge at 5650mAh and also supports 100w wired and 80w wireless charging.
As for the cameras, you don’t get a variable aperture on the main shooter and the standard Magic7 uses a 50-megapixel telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom and OIS. Everything else is the same.
Do note that both models now have an IP68/69 rating and support for satellite connectivity–though the latter is limited to China for now.
The Magic7 starts at CNY 4500(~Php 37k) for the 12GB/256GB model, while the Pro version starts at CNY 5700(~Php 47k) for the same variant. If HONOR follows the same pattern, we expect the Pro version to go global in the next few months.
