HONOR is making headlines again with the launch of its latest flagship smartphone, the HONOR Magic7 Pro. Packed with cutting-edge features and enhancements, this new release is set to redefine the smartphone experience.
At the launch event, I had the opportunity to explore the HONOR Magic7 Pro even though I haven’t received the review unit yet. One notable change is its departure from the curved display featured in the HONOR Magic6 Pro .
While curved displays are undeniably stylish, the shift to a flat display improves grip and usability, a practical choice for everyday users.
The HONOR Magic7 Pro is brimming with advanced technology, particularly in AI and photography. Here’s what stands out:
- Google Gemini App: Pre-installed to seamlessly integrate Google’s cloud AI assistant for secure and efficient use.
- World’s First AI Deepfake Detection: Enhances safety during video calls by detecting potential scams.
- Magic Portal 2.0: Simplifies searches across platforms and apps, saving users time and effort.
- AI Features: Includes AI Interpreter, AI Conversation, and AI Transcribe to make note-taking and communication easier.
At the event, a collection of photographs taken with the HONOR Magic7 Pro was showcased, demonstrating its incredible capabilities.c
Here’s me using my HONOR Magic V3 to capture shots of HONOR Magic7 Pro.
Power users will appreciate the HONOR Magic7 Pro’s 5850mAh third-generation silicon-carbon battery, which supports:
- 100W Wired HONOR SuperCharge: Achieves a full charge in just 33 minutes.
- 80W Wireless HONOR SuperCharge: Delivers fast and convenient wireless charging.
HONOR has partnered with Porsche to create the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic7 RSR, a high-end model inspired by the aerodynamic lines of the Taycan Turbo S. The phone features a hexagonal camera module reminiscent of Porsche’s four-point headlights, encased in 3D glass that reflects the curves of a Porsche windshield.
Although there isn’t a lucky draw for a Porsche Taycan at the event, the collaboration emphasizes HONOR’s focus on blending luxury and technology.
Photography enthusiasts will be delighted with the upgraded camera system on the HONOR Magic7 Pro. Highlights include:
- 50MP Super Dynamic HONOR Falcon Main Camera: Features a 1/1.3-inch sensor and adjustable f/1.4 aperture for enhanced light intake and clarity.
- 50MP Wide Camera and 200MP Telephoto Camera: The telephoto lens includes a 1/1.4-inch sensor with an f/2.6 aperture, perfect for capturing distant subjects with stunning detail.
- AI HONOR IMAGE ENGINE and AI Super Zoom (up to 100x): Ensures sharp, crystal-clear images, even from far away.
- Harcourt Filter: Portrait lovers can enjoy this feature for capturing striking, studio-quality portraits.
The HONOR Magic7 Pro is available for pre-order until January 16, 2025, with prices starting at:
- $1,399 for the 12GB + 512GB variant.
