Honor Magic 8 Pro goes global with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 7100mAh battery and 100W charging
Honor has launched the Magic 8 Pro in global markets after its China debut, that features a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, 6.71-inch LTPO OLED display, 200MP camera and a slightly smaller 7,100mAh battery with 100W fast charging compared to the Chinese model.
Honor has started bringing its flagship Magic lineup to the global markets, where the Magic 8 Pro is launching in Malaysia after its initial launch in China last month. The overall specifications remain identical, but the global variant does come with two small changes: a slightly reduced battery capacity and slower wired charging support.

- The top-of-the-line 16GB RAM + 1TB variant is priced at RM 5,199 approximately Rs 1,12,000. The smartphone is offered in three colours: Black, Sunrise Gold and Sky Cyan.
