What makes the HONOR Magic8 Pro Air special?
Its primary distinction lies in its exceptionally thin and lightweight design, making it one of the lightest flagship phones available.
How does the HONOR Magic8 Pro Air perform?
The phone is equipped with the Dimensity 9500 chipset, designed to deliver top-tier performance and responsiveness for demanding tasks.
What is the price range of the HONOR Magic8 Pro Air?
The HONOR Magic8 Pro Air is positioned as a premium device, with a starting price of around 11 million Indonesian Rupiah (Rp).
This ultra-lightweight design is paired with a 6.3-inch display, reportedly comfortable to hold. Despite its lightness, HONOR has managed to incorporate essential and premium features into the slim body. These include an IR Blaster, NFC, dual stereo speakers, and wireless charging. Notably, a physical SIM card slot – increasingly rare in modern thin phones – is also present.
The triple-camera module shifts the center of gravity slightly upward, but the overall light weight maintains a stable grip. Observers note the ergonomics are superior to some of its key competitors. The slightly thicker body texture also provides a more secure and solid grip in hand.
Robust Performance with Dimensity 9500
The HONOR Magic8 Pro Air’s processing power is a major strength. HONOR chose the Dimensity 9500 chipset, recognized as one of the most powerful processors currently available. Mature software optimization delivers impressive performance when running demanding games like Honkai: Star Rail.
The phone maintains a stable frame rate and high power efficiency, proving that a small size doesn’t hinder significant performance. Thermal management is also excellent, even under sustained maximum load.
Flagship Triple Camera Quality
The HONOR Magic8 Pro Air’s camera system exceeds expectations for a lightweight phone. The main lens produces vibrant colors with a natural and artistic bokeh effect. The 3.2x telephoto lens is also reliable for everyday photography with sharp detail.
However, the 50MP ultra-wide lens remains a weak point compared to the main lens. While sharp in daylight, image quality degrades in the corners in low-light conditions. Video from the ultra-wide lens can also experience noticeable frame tearing.
