(Image credit - @UniverseIce on X) Honor is expected to soon expand the Honor Magic 8 lineup with a new model. Some reports have claimed it to be the Honor Magic 8 Air. The device is tipped to focus on a slim and lightweight design with comparisons already being drawn to Apple’s iPhone Air. Here’s what we know so far. Well-known tipster Ice Universe @UniverseIce on X recently posted a design schematic of the Honor Magic 8 Air. It reveals an early look at the smartphone’s rear panel. The leaked schematic shows a horizontal camera bar design that is visually similar to Google’s Pixel series. Unlike Pixel phones, the LED flash on the Magic 8 Air appears to be integrated within the camera module itself rather than placed outside. It is said that this is a schematic diagram of the Honor Magic 8 Air.

According to the leak, the Honor Magic 8 Air could measure just 6.3mm in thickness and weigh around 158 grams. The sides of the device are shown with a volume rocker, a power button, and a third button, which is believed to be a dedicated AI button, similar to those seen on the Honor Magic 8 and Honor Magic 8 Pro. In comparison, the iPhone Air is said to be thinner at 5.6mm but heavier, weighing approximately 165 grams. This indicates that Honor may be prioritising weight reduction over achieving the absolute thinnest profile. iPhone Air (left) and Honor Magic 8 Air (right). (Image credit - Honor) Supporting this claim, Honor Product Manager Li Kun recently shared an image of the Magic 8 Air placed on a weighing scale next to the iPhone Air, highlighting its lighter build. Honor Magic 8 Air - What Else We Know? As per recent leaks, the smartphone may feature a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution, a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, a 5,500mAh battery, and support for 80W fast wired charging. There has been some uncertainty surrounding the final name of the device. The President of the Product Line at Honor Terminal Co., Ltd., Fang Fei previously stated that Honor was working on a smartphone combining the strengths of both the Pro and Air series. This led to speculation that the phone could be called “Honor Magic 8 Pro Air.” However, based on Ice Universe’s post, the device is now expected to launch simply as the Honor Magic 8 Air. The device is expected to launch later this month. Honor Magic 8 RSR Camera Samples Released Separately, rumours around the Honor Magic 8 RSR flagship smartphone are getting serious.
