Top-Level Durability with Comprehensive Protection
Considered the toughest smartphone now on the market, the HONOR Magic8 Lite comes equipped with an industry first SGS Triple Resistant Premium Performance Certification[1] to protect against any drops, water and dust issues.
As seen in the previous generation, the device also boasts a prestigious SGS 5-Star Comprehensive Reliability Certification[2], which ensures it can withstand drops from heights of up to 2.5 metres[3] onto certain surfaces. The body of the smartphone is reinforced by HONOR Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Technology, 'Non-Newtonian fluid' and new ultra-deep tempered glass, helping safeguard a user from any accidents.
In addition, the HONOR Magic8 Lite has achieved IP69K[4] water resistance, making it capable of easily handling the likes of rinsing, splashing, hot (within 10s) and dirty water.
This device has been tested to function after soaking in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 metres[5], making it a dependable companion in any situation. To note, the 'AI Heavy Rain Touch' and 'AI Glove Touch', allows users to have a smooth experience whatever the weather.
Industry-Leading Battery Life with SuperCharge
With an ultra-large 7500mAh Silicon-carbon Battery, the HONOR Magic8 Lite provides the biggest battery life (with a battery capacity retention rate of more than 80% after 6 years of use)[6].
As a result, users can go up to three days without charging. The test data shows that the device can stand up to 52.5 hours of music streaming, 23.8 hours of online video playback, 16.8 hours of gaming and 12.3 hours of video chat[7] on one single charge. Meanwhile, the HONOR Magic8 Lite can even support reverse charging as a portable power bank with 7.5W wired charge.
With multi-point temperature monitoring, the battery performs well in temperatures from -30°C to 55°C[8]. Additionally, the ultra-power saving mode enables the device to maintain continuous calls for up to 60 minutes[9] when the battery drops to 2%, while the 66W wired HONOR SuperCharge[10] can rapidly revive the battery for extended usage.
AI-powered Smartphone Photography Experience
Packed with a stunning 108MP ultra-sensing camera featuring a 1/1.67" large sensor, the HONOR Magic8 Lite captures images with exceptional details and enhanced brightness (in any light setting). To elevate the photography experience, the main camera is equipped with OIS + EIS, which effectively reduces blurring and shakiness ensuring ultra-clear images.
With HONOR Connection, the HONOR Magic8 Lite allows for the transferring of photos between IOS, whilst the 4K HD moving photo collage function makes images more vibrant - enabling users to showcase their colourful lifestyles with ease.
The HONOR Magic8 Lite integrates AI photography features like 'AI Eraser', 'AI Cutout' and 'AI Outpainting', which allows for a wide range of photo editing opportunities.
Exceptional Display Technology for Optimal Immersion
The HONOR Magic8 Lite features a 6.79-inch eye-comfort OLED display[11], which supports 1.07 billion colours and a 1.5K ultra-high resolution[12], delivering vibrant hues and breathtaking details for a more immersive viewing experience.
The flagship 1.3mm ultra-narrow bezels redefines visual boundaries, offering 94.6% screen-to-body ratio. With the new 'deuterated organic light-emitting materials' and a high refresh rate of 120Hz[13], the display showcases incredibly smooth motion and improved responsiveness for a more fluid interface.
The display ensures an exceptionally sharp and clear viewing experience with its industry leading peak HDR brightness of 6000nits[14]. The HONOR Magic8 Lite also guarantees a comfortable viewing experience with eye-comfort features such as 3840Hz PWM Risk-free Dimming[15], 'Circadian Night Display', 'AI Defocus Display', 'Dynamic Dimming' and 'Hardware Level Low Blue Light'.
Enhanced Hardware for Superior Performance
Powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, the HONOR Magic8 Lite offers users a new level of system smoothness and higher graphical performance. Compared to the previous generation, its GPU performance has improved by 29% and CPU by 11%[16]. This power efficiency is complemented by HONOR's innovative RAM Turbo Technology, which effectively provides a 16GB RAM equivalent experience (8GB physical + 8GB virtual).
As a consequence, this allows for a smooth performance even after extended use, enabling users to multitask and switch between apps effortlessly. Lastly, the HONOR Magic8 Lite comes equipped with 8GB+ 512GB internal storage providing ample space for you to save your photos and videos.
Colour, Price and Availability
