Depending on the model, you can enjoy either 100W (global) or 120W (Chinese) charging speeds, but you&#8217;d need to supply your own charger.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763338030_885_gsmarena_002.jpg\" alt=\"Honor Magic8 Pro unboxing\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We had the chance to check out the blue-ish Mint Magic8 Pro while at Honor&#8217;s announcement event, and now we also have the silver-ish Gold. They share the wavy lines that appear on the rear panel under specific light.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763338030_471_gsmarena_003.jpg\" alt=\"Honor Magic8 Pro unboxing\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A key improvement with the Magic8 Pro is the telephoto camera. The sensor, while still a 200MP 1\/1.4-inch unit, is the newer ISOCELL HP9, and it&#8217;s an imager developed with zoom cameras in mind. The other improvement is the lens, now a native 85mm f\/2.6 unit (up from 72mm).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763338031_890_gsmarena_004.jpg\" alt=\"Honor Magic8 Pro unboxing\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, in a related note, the Magic8 Pro adds a dedicated camera control button, something the Magic7 Pro didn&#8217;t have. But unlike the majority of phones that use a capacitive button, the Magic8 Pro has a physical button (just like the iPhone), and it&#8217;s a better implementation. The physical feedback you get is simply better than a vibration you&#8217;d receive on a competing phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/25\/11\/honor-magic8-pro-unboxing\/-1200x900mw5\/gsmarena_005.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The camera control is a physical button\" width=\"326\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763338031_961_gsmarena_005.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/25\/11\/honor-magic8-pro-unboxing\/-1200x900mw5\/gsmarena_006.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The camera control is a physical button\" width=\"326\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763338031_636_gsmarena_006.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/>The camera control is a physical button<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We brought the Honor Magic8 Pro back with us from China, and while we&#8217;re tinkering with Honor&#8217;s latest&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296035,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-296034","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
