On paper, most of the Honor Magic 8 Pro's specs look like pretty run-of-the-mill upgrades. It's got a bigger battery, faster processor, better display, improved IP ratings, and some new software tricks to brag about. But the camera experience looks identical on paper until you notice one thing: the telephoto lens and OIS system.
That 200MP telephoto sensor might be the same as last year's, but it's behind a brand-new CIPA 5.5 OIS system that delivers the best results I've ever seen from a telephoto lens. It's got incredible depth and bokeh that most phone sensors simply can't produce without using software portrait mode, and it totally changed how I took pictures with this phone.
