It is complemented by a 64-megapixel periscopic telephoto lens with f/2.6 aperture and 3.2x optical zoom. A 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with f/2.2 aperture is also rumored.

The Honor Magic 8 Pro Air’s screen diagonal will be 6.31 inches, making it noticeably more compact compared to the iPhone Air. It will reportedly use an LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR peak brightness of up to 6,000 nits, and a resolution of 2,640 × 1,216 pixels. At the heart of the smartphone will be a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip, providing flagship-level performance.
The battery capacity will be 5500 mAh — that’s significantly more than the Apple iPhone Air or Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Fast wired charging up to 80W via USB-C is supported, as well as wireless charging up to 50W. The Honor Magic 8 Pro Air will be officially unveiled on January 19.
