HONOR Magic7 Pro Launched Across Europe, With 200 MP Telephoto, A Large Silicon-carbon Battery, and Enhanced IP68/IP69 Water Resistance

Last Wednesday, HONOR officially launched its flagship smartphone, the HONOR Magic7 Pro, across Europe, a few months after its introduction in Asia.
The successor of the Magic 6 Pro, the Magic 7 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s most powerful SoC, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, delivering enhanced performance and improved power efficiency compared to its predecessor.

The HONOR Magic 7 Pro is among the first smartphones launched outside of China with Qualcomm’s flagship processor, debuting a week after the OnePlus 13 and a week ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series. Paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, the Magic 7 Pro is poised to deliver excellent performance.

Design: Sleeker Body and Advanced Water Protection

The Magic 7 Pro features a slightly refined industrial design compared to its predecessor. Retaining its signature sizeable circular camera module, HONOR has crafted a more streamlined chassis, now 1mm thinner than the previous model. Like the OnePlus 13, HONOR’s flagship carries IP68 and IP69 ratings, ensuring it can be submerged in water and withstand high-pressure water jets and steam cleaning.

Display

The 6.8-inch HONOR Magic7 Pro is designed with AI Eye Comfort Display that mimics natural sunlight, reducing strain and improving eye health. This AMOLED display, with a 1-120 Hz adaptive refresh rate and peak brightness of 5000 nits, integrates advanced technologies such as 4320Hz PWM Dimming and Hardware-level Low Blue Light Technology, delivering comfort without sacrificing display quality.

Protected by the HONOR NanoCrystal Shield, the device offers ten times more drop resistance than regular glass, and we have seen a live durability test of that protective glass at MWC last year with the Magic 6 Pro.

AI-Driven Performance and Personalization

Featuring the latest MagicOS 9.0, the HONOR Magic7 Pro provides an intelligent interface tailored for everyday tasks. The Magic Portal2 feature allows users to interact easily with desired content, from social media to shopping, enhancing convenience through improved semantic understanding of landmarks and movie IPs. AI-powered tools like instant translation in 13 languages and the AI Summary feature in HONOR Notes empower users to maximize productivity.

The pre-installed Google Gemini app further enhances functionality, offering AI assistance for brainstorming ideas, simplifying tasks, and creating visuals. With real-time responses, Gemini ensures a conversational and adaptive experience that suits various user needs.

Camera: A 200 MP Periscopic Telephoto Camera

The HONOR Magic7 Pro sets a new standard in mobile photography with its advanced HONOR AI Falcon Camera System. It includes a 50MP 1/1.3-inch Super Dynamic main camera with f/1.4 adjustable aperture, a 50MP Wide shooter, and a 200 MP Periscopic Telephoto with a f/2.6 aperture and 3x zoom. With such a high-end combo, we expect the device to deliver excellent clarity and detail in any lighting condition. Features like AI Super Zoom, HD Super Burst, and Motion Sensing Capture allow users to explore creative possibilities, capturing moments with improved precision in various lighting conditions.

Performance and Gaming Excellence

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, featuring the Oryon CPU and Adreno GPU, the device is further enhanced by an AI Real-Time Rendering technology that includes the industry’s first AI Predictive Scheduling Engine. According to HONOR, this combination delivers excellent frame rate stability. Coupled with a 5270mAh battery supporting ultra-fast charging, it provides users with reliable power and superior gaming performance.

Availability and Pricing

The HONOR Magic7 Pro is now available for pre-order in the UK starting at £1,099.99, with purchases including a complimentary HONOR MagicPad 2, valued at £499.99. The device will launch in Ireland in February for €1,299.99.
