HONOR Launches the Revolutionary Magic8 Series for AI-Driven Smartphones
On October 15, 2025, HONOR, a global leader in the AI device ecosystem, made a significant announcement regarding their latest product, the HONOR Magic8 Series, in China. This new series positions itself as HONOR's pioneering Self-Evolving AI Smartphone, designed to revolutionize user experience through advanced AI functionalities and industry-leading performance.
The highlight of the HONOR Magic8 Series is the YOYO Agent, a sophisticated AI assistant that seamlessly integrates into daily tasks. It is capable of executing commands across over 3,000 scenarios. For instance, users can simply instruct the YOYO Agent to "Find all my screenshots and delete the blurry ones," and the AI will carry out the task automatically. This feature aims to reduce the burden of repetitive tasks, allowing users to focus on more critical aspects of their lives.
Another significant feature is the dedicated AI Button, which enhances user interaction. By long-pressing this button, users can instantly conduct YOYO Video Calls, and a double-click provides direct access to the camera shutter. Furthermore, users have the option to customize the AI Button for quicker access to preferred functions, promoting an effective lifestyle enhancement.
Photographic innovation is at the forefront of the HONOR Magic8 Pro, with its groundbreaking AiMAGE Camera System. This system introduces a 200MP Ultra Night Telephoto Camera equipped with a 1/1.4-inch sensor and a f/2.6 aperture, which allows for much greater light intake. This results in clearer images even in low-light conditions. Coupled with HONOR's AI anti-shake technology, users can capture zoomed-in shots more effectively, improving the chances of obtaining high-quality photos without the need for stabilization equipment such as tripods.
A standout feature of the HONOR Magic8 Series is Magic Color, the industry’s first AI-powered color engine. This engine utilizes deep learning algorithms to intelligently extract 16.77 million colors, optimizing both global tone and specific local adjustments. This feature facilitates professional-style results without the complexities of traditional grading, making it accessible for everyday users.
In terms of performance, the HONOR Magic8 Series is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform. This device introduces a novel GPU-NPU Heterogeneous AI technology that converts low-resolution gameplay into high-resolution experiences without compromising on frame rates, ensuring immersive interactions for gamers. The series also boasts a remarkable 7,200mAh silicon-carbon battery, which is complemented with HONOR SuperCharge technology, providing fast wired and wireless charging capabilities.
HONOR has also prioritized user interface and connectivity, with MagicOS 10 that integrates effortlessly across multiple devices, including Android, HarmonyOS, iOS, and Windows. This ensures that users can share files and manage tasks without any friction, enhancing their productivity.
Durability is another strong point for the HONOR Magic8 Series, certified with SGS standards for drop resistance and armed with IP68/69K ratings for water and dust resistance, ensuring reliability in challenging conditions.
In a teaser at the event, HONOR introduced the HONOR ROBOT PHONE, a groundbreaking product in their ALPHA PLAN, which embodies the next evolution in human-machine interaction. This device aims to merge AI-driven intelligence with robotic functionalities, setting a new standard in the AI device ecosystem.
Available in multiple colors such as Sunrise Gold, Sky Cyan, Black, and Glacier White, the pre-order for the HONOR Magic8 Series starts from RMB 4,499 for the standard version and goes up to RMB 5,699 for the Pro version. As HONOR gears up for its international market launch later in the year, this series is anticipated to solidify its position as a leader in the AI smartphone segment.
