The Honor Magic 8 Leak Reveals a 7,000mAh Beast With 1TB Storage and Elite Design
The Honor Magic 8’s full specs have leaked, revealing a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, 7,000mAh battery, 1TB storage, and flagship-level camera setup.
Just a day before its official debut in China, the Honor Magic 8 has spilled all its secrets — and it looks like a monster of a flagship. A fresh leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed nearly every detail about the device, and if the specs are accurate, Honor might be about to outshine even the biggest Android rivals.
The Magic 8 is set to feature a 6.58-inch LTPO flat display with a crisp 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 4320Hz PWM dimming, promising ultra-smooth visuals and eye-friendly brightness control. It runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16, showing Honor’s push to stay ahead in both hardware and software refinement.
Under the hood, it’s powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset — a silicon built for top-tier gaming and multitasking — paired with up to 1TB of storage. Honor’s decision to pack a massive 7,000mAh battery with 90W wired and 80W wireless charging signals an all-day endurance focus. This could make it one of the few flagships in 2025 that balances high performance with real stamina.
On the camera front, Honor is doubling down on versatility. The Magic 8 sports a 50MP front camera, while the rear setup features three lenses: a 50MP f/1.9 main sensor, 50MP ultra-wide, and a 64MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom. The combination sounds like a dream for content creators — from ultra-detailed portraits to long-range zoom shots without losing clarity.
Design-wise, Honor seems to be going for a refined yet rugged feel. The phone will feature a metal frame with a glass back, and according to the leak, an IP68/IP69/IP69K rating, which is unusually high for a smartphone. Translation: this device should survive serious splashes, dust, or even the occasional adventure. There’s also a dedicated camera button, dual 1216 speakers, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and Beidou satellite messaging support — a growing trend among high-end Chinese flagships.
At just 7.95mm thick and 205 grams, it’s impressive how much Honor has squeezed into this device. The color palette — black, white, gold, and blue — gives it both premium and expressive vibes, fitting neatly into Asia’s growing appetite for stylish tech that performs.
If these leaks hold up, the Honor Magic 8 isn’t just another Android flagship. It’s shaping up as Honor’s statement piece — a blend of raw power, smart design, and battery endurance that challenges the narrative around what a “thin and light” phone can do.
The official launch happens October 15 in China, alongside the MagicPad 3 Pro. Whether it stays exclusive or lands in global markets, the Magic 8 already feels like a serious contender in 2025’s flagship race — and perhaps the most ambitious Honor phone yet.
