Honor Magic8 Air emerges in new images

Honor is gearing up to launch its own thin and light premium phone with the Magic8 Air. The device was teased by the brand’s President on Weibo, where it is said to feature both Pro and Air features.

We’re not exactly sure what this entails, but it could be a nod to flagship camera hardware and a larger battery capacity compared to rivals like the iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

Tipster UniverseIce also shared a schematic render for the Magic8 Air, which shows a brushed aluminum back with a visor design for its cameras that’s quite similar to the Google Pixel series. This image is just a render, so the actual device may end up with a different design.

According to UniverseIce, Magic8 Air will be 6.3mm thick, which is actually thicker than the iPhone Air (5.6mm) and Galaxy S25 Edge (5.8mm). Still, Honor’s Air is expected to undercut its rivals in weight. As per the post, Magic8 Air will weigh just 158 grams compared to the iPhone Air’s 165 grams and the S25 Edge’s 163 grams.

In addition, Li Kun, Honor's Product Manager, shared an image showing the Magic8 Air against the iPhone Air on a scale, which shows the Magic8 Air’s weight advantage.

According to rumors, Honor Magic8 Air will feature a 6.31-inch display, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset, and a 5,500mAh battery with 80W fast charging. The device is expected to launch in China later this month.
