The launch of the Honor Magic 8 series is fast approaching. Expected in mid-October in China, this new generation of flagship phones will include at least two models — the Magic 8 and the Magic 8 Pro — both powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.
A new leak confirms that the international version of the Magic 8 Pro is already in development: the device has just been spotted in the Geekbench database.
Honor Magic 8 Pro (Global) Spotted on Geekbench
A smartphone from Honor with the model number BKQ-N49 has been seen on Geekbench, confirming this model as the global version of the Magic 8 Pro.
According to the listing, the Magic 8 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 16 as the operating system. Performance results are impressive, achieving scores of 3,664 points in single-core tests and 7,632 points in multi-core tests.
These scores position the Magic 8 Pro among the most powerful Android smartphones of 2025, directly competing with upcoming models like the Galaxy S26, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and OnePlus 15 Pro.
Expected Technical Specifications of Honor Magic 8 Pro
Recent leaks suggest that the Magic 8 Pro will come with a 6.7-inch micro-curved OLED display featuring a 1.5K resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The software experience will be handled by MagicOS 10 based on Android 16, ensuring a smooth and optimized interface.
Beneath the surface, Honor is said to focus on battery life with a 7,200 mAh battery, supporting 120 W wired charging and 80 W wireless charging. This rare combination would position the Magic 8 Pro among the most enduring and fast-charging smartphones on the market.
Camera Module Fit for High-End Models
The rear camera setup of the Honor Magic 8 Pro is expected to include:
- a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS),
- a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor,
- and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with optical zoom and OIS.
On the front, Honor is expected to integrate a 50-megapixel selfie sensor, confirming its ambition to offer a premium photo experience, both for capturing images and during video calls.
Design, Weight, and Colors
The Magic 8 Pro is expected to weigh around 222 grams, comparable to other high-end smartphones with large batteries. In terms of design, early leaks suggest a sleek and refined style available in black, white, and blue. The chassis may feature a metallic finish and a curvy screen on all four edges for an elegant and immersive aesthetic.
Imminent Global Launch
With its appearance on Geekbench, it seems that the global launch of the Honor Magic 8 Pro is imminent — likely following the Chinese presentation set for mid-October 2025. The brand is expected to roll out the device in Europe and India throughout November.
With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a massive 7,200 mAh battery, a 200-megapixel triple camera, and 120 W charging, the Honor Magic 8 Pro is set to become one of the most comprehensive and ambitious Android smartphones of 2025.
If it confirms these specifications during its official presentation, Honor could potentially compete directly with Samsung, Xiaomi, and Oppo in the high-end market — all while maintaining an attractive performance-to-price ratio.
