Honor appears ready to push the Magic 8 Pro beyond its limited rollout in Malaysia and the Gulf. New leaks now hint at European pricing — and the numbers could make this flagship a premium contender on the continent.
Leaked price range and what it might mean
According to tipster RODENT950 on X, the Honor Magic 8 Pro may arrive in Europe with a price tag between €1,199 and €1,299. The leak doesn't clarify whether the spread reflects different storage/RAM variants or regional price adjustments. In Malaysia, Honor currently sells the phone in two trims — 12GB/512GB and 16GB/1TB — so a starting price around €1,199 would position the Magic 8 Pro at the higher end of the flagship market.
Battery and charging — small differences by region
Battery life is a selling point. The global Magic 8 Pro ships with a 7,100mAh cell, supporting 100W wired fast charging and 80W wireless charging. The China-only model bumps the capacity slightly to 7,200mAh and increases wired charging to 120W, while maintaining 80W wireless. Beyond those tweaks, both versions share the same core hardware.
Display and performance: flagship-grade specs
Honor equips the Magic 8 Pro with MagicOS 10 on top of Android 16 and a 6.71-inch LTPO OLED panel. Resolution lands at a 1.5K 1,256 x 2,808 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate, with Honor claiming an impressive 6,000 nits peak HDR brightness. Under the hood is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 paired with an Adreno 840 GPU, and configurations go up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.
Cameras built for zoom and detail
The camera system is a headline feature. A 200MP primary sensor (1/1.4-inch) offers 3.7x optical zoom and up to 100x digital reach. Complementing it are a 50MP 1/1.3-inch sensor with CIPA-rated 5.5-axis stabilization and a 50MP ultra-wide shooter. Selfie duties are handled by a 50MP front camera plus a 3D depth sensor — a setup that aims to satisfy both stills and advanced portrait needs.
Durability, biometrics and extras
Honor didn't skimp on toughness: the Magic 8 Pro carries IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance. Biometric security is handled by an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The handset also packs a full complement of sensors — accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, infrared, ambient light and proximity — and measures 161.15 x 75 x 8.32 mm while weighing 219 g.
Whether the leaked European price holds remains to be seen, but if Honor does launch the Magic 8 Pro in that €1,199–€1,299 band, it'll be competing directly with the most premium flagship phones — offering a mix of battery life, camera tech and a high-end chipset that could sway buyers looking for alternatives to the usual names.
