Introduction

The highly anticipated Honor Magic 7 Pro has officially launched in the UK and Europe, making waves with its powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This smartphone doesn't just shine in performance; it also boasts an impressive 200-megapixel telephoto camera, setting a new standard for mobile photography.

Performance and Design

Positioned between the recent OnePlus 13 launch and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 reveal, the Magic 7 Pro is one of the first smartphones outside of China to feature Qualcomm’s cutting-edge chipset. With 12GB of RAM and a robust 5,270mAh battery developed with innovative silicon-carbon chemistry, users can enjoy enhanced power without compromising on size—the Magic 7 Pro maintains a sleek profile under 9mm.

Durability

Equipped with both IP68 and IP69 ratings, this device promises exceptional durability. It is designed to withstand dust, immersion in water, and even high-pressure steam—perfect for those who love to relax in a hot tub without worrying about their device.

Camera Innovation

What sets the Magic 7 Pro apart further is its impressive 200-megapixel periscopic camera, which offers a 3x optical zoom. While high megapixel counts are common in main cameras, it's remarkable to see this level of technology applied to a zoom lens. Enhanced by an AI Super Zoom feature that kicks in at 30x, users can capture clear, detailed images even from a distance, thanks to advanced on-device and cloud-based image optimization.

Software Features

This device also comes pre-installed with Android 15 and features Google’s Gemini AI, providing intelligent capabilities for tasks such as translation and note-taking. Honor has enhanced this experience with its own AI tools, promising a truly futuristic user experience.

Market Impact

Originally launched in China last November, the Magic 7 Pro’s introduction to global markets reflects Honor's significant growth in the smartphone arena. With previous successes like the Magic 6 series and the incredibly thin Magic V3 foldable phone, Honor is solidifying its reputation as a formidable competitor.

Pricing and Availability

Accompanying the Pro is the more affordable Magic 7 Lite, featuring the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip and an impressive 6,600mAh battery that Honor claims can last up to three days on a single charge. However, the standard Magic 7, which debuted alongside the Pro in China, will not be available in Europe.

The Honor Magic 7 Pro is now available for order on honor.com, starting at £1,099.99 / €1,299 (approximately $1,340), with major retailers also set to stock it. For those looking for a budget option, the Magic 7 Lite can be purchased for £399.99 / €369 and is also available for immediate purchase.
