Honor next flagship series to launch earlier, too
A new report from China (translated source) suggests that the upcoming Honor Magic 7 flagship series is set to launch in October this year, which is about two to three months earlier than expected. For reference, the current Honor Magic 6 series was released in January 2024.
The report also spills some details on the chipset expected to power the upcoming Honor Magic 7 series. The latter might feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which is set to be unveiled next month, too. Although the Xiaomi 15 series is expected to be the first to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, Honor’s decision to push up its launch date could change that. Actually, this could be exactly why Honor is considering an earlier release.
The main sensor is rumored to be a 50 MP OmniVision OV50H, accompanied by a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera, possibly the Sony IMX882, and a third sensor that could be either 50 MP or 200 MP. For comparison, the current Honor Magic 6 Pro comes with:
- 50 MP main sensor with variable aperture
- 50 MP ultra-wide lens
- 180 MP telephoto camera
The current Honor Magic 6 Pro also features a triple camera setup on its back. | Image credit – PhoneArena

Moreover, both models are expected to feature OLED displays. The Pro version will likely boast a higher-resolution 2K display, while the standard model is expected to come with a 1.5K resolution. A previous report also hints that the Magic 7 Pro will include satellite connectivity support.
Plus, at this year’s IFA Berlin, Honor hinted that the Magic 7 series will come with something new: AI Agent. This on-device AI assistant is designed to get smarter by learning your habits and how you use your phone.
