This is magic
The Magic 8 Pro is a great choice if you need a flagship with all the extras. The phone has fabulous cameras, an OLED panel that gets bright and has a suite of eye-care features that are meaningful in regular use, and a big enough battery to last a day with ease. It runs the latest iteration of Honor's software, and with seven years of guaranteed updates, it will last just as long as Google and Samsung phones.
Pros
- Latest internals
- Vibrant OLED with LTPO
- Great cameras
- Will get seven years of software updates
- IP68 and IP69K ingress protection
- Good battery life
Cons
- Costlier (by a lot)
- Software isn't on par with Android rivals
- Camera tuning tends to be aggressive at times
Battery beast
The massive battery makes the Magic 8 Lite a clear standout, so if you need a phone that's designed to last two days, this is the one to get. That said, the hardware isn't anywhere as good as the Magic 8 Pro, you only get one good rear camera, there's no tele lens, the device is still running Android 15, and it won't get as many software updates as the Magic 8 Pro. If you need a mid-ranger, I'd consider another brand.
Pros
- Huge battery that lasts two days
- Good design
- Bright AMOLED with useful eye protection features
- IP68 and IP69K ingress protection
Cons
- Launches with Android 15
- Wide-angle lens is average
- No tele module
- Misses out on 12GB RAM and UFS 4.1 storage
- Won't get as many software updates
