- Honor launched the Magic 8 Pro and Lite in the UK, but another Magic 8 series phone is launching soon.
- The company confirmed the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air, a slimmer Magic 8 Pro variant, will be unveiled on January 19.
- Honor is taking pre-reservations for the Magic 8 Pro Air in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations in China.
Honor officially launched the Honor Magic 8 Pro and Magic 8 Lite in the UK this week, with the former being a true flagship and the latter striking a more affordable price point. The Honor Magic 8 Pro brings impressive specs such as a 200MP telephoto camera, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, and a 6,270mAh battery capacity. However, Honor is already gearing up to launch another Magic 8 Pro variant, and it now has an official launch date.
Recent teasers and rumors pointed toward Honor launching an ultra-slim version of the Magic 8 Pro, and the company confirmed in a Weibo post that this device will launch later this month as the Magic 8 Pro Air. The handset will be revealed on January 19 in China, which is less than two weeks away. The launch teaser video doesn’t reveal much about the Magic 8 Pro Air, instead comparing the power and thinness of the upcoming handset to human running form: “every seemingly ‘Air’ moment actually contains immense ‘Pro’ energy” (translated).
