Two years later, the Honor Magic 5 Pro is still my go-to smartphone camera

Newer isn’t always better

The Honor Magic 6 Pro was one of the best smartphones of 2024 for battery life, and Honor seems to be doubling down on this reputation. The Honor Magic 7 Pro packs a large 5,270 mAh battery, which is actually slightly smaller than its predecessor, but compensates with faster 100W charging (up from 80W). Honor also notes that the Magic 7 Pro features its second-generation E2 chip for improved power management and better battery health monitoring.


Up front, the Magic 7 Pro features a huge 6.8-inch AMOLED display with several “eye-comfort” features, including 4320Hz PWM dimming, hardware-level low blue light technology, and the Natural Light Honor AI Eye Comfort Display, which mimics natural light to reduce eye strain.


Honor Magic 7 Pro packs plenty of AI smarts and a powerful 200MP telephoto camera

Like most Android smartphones launching this year, the Magic 7 Pro is loaded with plenty of AI features under the hood. Honor’s Magic Portal — which enables users to complete tasks with one click — is getting a huge upgrade with MagicOS 9.0, allowing users to draw or circle anything on their screen.

Honor’s AI engine then processes the input and suggests relevant apps and services based on the selected content. It works similarly to Circle to Search — which also comes pre-installed on the Magic 7 Pro — but is more integrated and supports a wider range of apps and services.


The Magic 7 Pro also supports real-time translation for up to 13 languages, thanks to what Honor calls “AI Translation,” while the company’s official Notes app can now summarize large texts. And, oh, the Magic 7 Pro also comes preloaded with the Google Gemini app. All of this is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

Why I’ll never buy another phone without a telephoto camera

Ultrawide is nice, but optical zoom is hard to beat

Like the Magic 6 Pro, the Magic 7 Pro features a triple-camera system with a 50MP primary sensor with an f/1.4 adjustable aperture, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 200MP telephoto lens with up to 100x zoom. Honor is taking a new approach to photography by using its proprietary hybrid (device-cloud) AI model for image processing, promising better results. I haven’t had a chance to test this yet, but it will be interesting to see how this hybrid method performs in real life.


The Honor Magic 7 Pro is arriving first in the UK and Republic of Ireland, priced at £1,100 and €1,300, with other European countries likely following soon. Honor is offering a free MagicPad 2 for customers who pre-order the phone. As for the US, there’s no official confirmation yet, but it’s unlikely the Honor Magic 7 Pro will launch stateside.
