HONOR is set to launch the Magic8 Pro Air in China on January 19. The phone is drawing attention for its slim profile, reminding many of Apple’s iPhone Air.

According to reports, the Magic8 Pro Air is just 6.3mm thick and weighs 158 grams. With those numbers, it’s going to be one of the thinnest flagships, ideal for those looking for a compact device without losing modern features. Color options include black, white, purple, and orange. Meanwhile, storage starts at 256GB and goes up to 1TB.
Rumors say the phone will feature a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution. It will run MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.
Under the hood, it’s expected to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip. Power comes from a 5,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging. HONOR is reportedly adding a telephoto lens to the camera setup.
