Shenzhen, China – October 17, 2025:
In a bold leap towards the future of mobile technology, HONOR has officially launched the HONOR Magic8 series, its most advanced AI-powered smartphones to date. Unveiled on October 17, 2025, the Magic8 series is designed to redefine the user experience with its self-learning YOYO Agent, state-of-the-art AI imaging, and powerful performance optimizations.
At the core of the Magic8 series is the innovative YOYO Agent, a self-learning AI assistant capable of automating over 3,000 different scenarios. From organizing your photos to summarizing weekly reports, YOYO intelligently predicts and performs tasks based on user behavior. Whether you're requesting a summary of your business expenses or simply managing your everyday tasks, the YOYO Assistant is there to streamline your routine. With the introduction of the AI Button, users can instantly trigger YOYO features, enabling fast access to video calls, photography functions, and more.
HONOR is taking smartphone photography to new heights with the AiMAGE camera system, including a groundbreaking 200MP Ultra Night Telephoto Camera. Featuring a large 1/1.4-inch sensor and AI-powered image stabilization, users can capture crystal-clear, stable photos even from a distance and in low-light conditions. The Magic Color engine, an industry-first AI-powered color correction tool, enhances your creativity with cinematic tones and professional-grade editing directly on the device.
The Magic8 Pro's camera system promises an unmatched telephoto experience, providing stability even without a tripod—ideal for users who love to explore zoom photography on the go.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform powers the Magic8 series, delivering next-gen performance that transforms gaming experiences. Through the use of AI-enhanced GPU and NPU technology, the Magic8 can upscale games to 120 frames per second at 1080p, elevating gameplay to ultra-smooth visuals, even in resource-intensive open-world environments.
On top of this, the Magic8 Pro includes a massive 7200mAh silicon-carbon battery and HONOR SuperCharge technology, which supports both 120W wired and 80W wireless charging. Paired with AI-assisted power management, this ensures all-day battery life with quick recharge capabilities.
The MagicOS 10 system brings together an open, cross-platform ecosystem, making it easier than ever to sync devices across Android, iOS, HarmonyOS, and Windows. HONOR's translucent visual design philosophy ensures a visually intuitive and comfortable user interface, while dynamic lighting and color adjustments enhance the overall experience.
The Magic8 series is built to endure, with IP68/69/69K water and dust resistance and SGS-certified 10x drop resistance for extra peace of mind in everyday use.
Alongside the Magic8, HONOR revealed its ambitious HONOR ROBOT PHONE, a new AI-powered device that combines robotics and mobile technology. This device, part of HONOR’s ALPHA PLAN, promises to revolutionize human-machine interactions, offering a multi-modal AI experience that seamlessly integrates into the user’s daily life.
The HONOR Magic8 series is available for pre-order in China starting October 15, 2025, with prices beginning at RMB 4,499 for the base model and RMB 5,699 for the Magic8 Pro. International availability is expected later this year.
HONOR’s ambitious vision of an AI-powered ecosystem is now a reality, setting a new standard for how smartphones can simplify and enhance our lives. As the Magic8 series hits the market, HONOR continues its mission to lead in the AI-driven device ecosystem, providing users with smarter, more intuitive technology that adapts to their every need.
