Honor Magic 8 Pro Malaysia: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 200MP telephoto cam, priced from RM4,599

Honorhas finally launched its latest candybar flagship smartphone, the Honor Magic 8 Pro, here in Malaysia. Selected as the official mobile photography device for Visit Malaysia 2026, this smartphone sports improvements in departments such as durability, performance, battery, and charging.

Between now and 4 December 2025, customers of the Magic 8 Pro will receive a series of free gifts. This includes an Insta360 Ace Pro action camera, a 1-year extended warranty, a 1-year liquid damage protection warranty, a 365-day front & back crack protection, a RM300 instant rebate, and 3 months of Google AI Pro Free Higher Access.

Let’s start with colour options. The Honor Magic 8 Pro can be had in either Sky Cyan, Black, or Sunrise Gold. At the front is a 6.71″ 120Hz LTPO OLED display that pushes out a resolution of 2808×1256 pixels and 6,000-nit peak brightness.

Powering the flagship smartphone is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM that’s expandable to a total of 32GB via Honor RAM Turbo.

In the imaging department, you get a similar camera setup to last year’s Magic 7 Pro. First off, there’s the 50MP f/1.6 main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide shooter, and a 200MP f/2.6 telephoto shooter that can do 3.7x optical zoom, and a 50MP selfie shooter with a 3D depth sensor right beside it for face unlock. Also thrown in is the brand’s Stability Engine, which Honor says gives the phone a CIPA 5.5-level of stabilisation, which is said to be equivalent to DSLR cameras out there.

Keeping lights on is a 7,100mAh silicon-carbon battery that can charge at 100W via Honor’s SuperCharge tech, and 80W with wireless SuperCharge.

Oh, also, the Honor Magic 8 Pro is rated at IP68/69/69K, making it resistant to dust, water, as well as high-pressure and high-temperature water jets.

Honor Malaysia is also packaging the Magic 8 Pro with a 365-day Front and Back Crack Protection, 1-Year Extended Warranty, and 1-Year Liquid Damage Protection Warranty.
