Honor Magic 8 Pro Air and Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design are set to go official next week. Ahead of the launch event in China, Honor has started teasing key details about the upcoming Magic 8 series smartphones. The company has now confirmed the battery capacity of the Magic 8 Pro Air. Meanwhile, the Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design model has been confirmed to ship with an add-on photography kit, which is similar to the optional accessories that were released alongside Vivo and Xiaomi's flagship smartphones. The Magic 8 Pro Air will be available in four colour options and four RAM and storage configurations at launch. It is expected to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset.
The latest teaser posted by the company on Weibo reveals that the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air will pack a 5,500mAh "Qinghai Lake" (translated from Chinese) battery, with an energy density of 917Wh/L. It is also teased to come with a 1/1.3-inch main sensor alongside a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.
The Honor Magic 8 Pro Air's listing on Honor's official online store confirms its RAM and storage configurations. It will be released in 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB and 16GB+1TB RAM and storage variants.
Separately, Honor has disclosed the camera capabilities of the Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design model. It is confirmed to ship with a dedicated camera kit, including an add-on telephoto extender. It is said to support industry-leading CIPA 6.5-level image stabilisation and can be paired with a 2.35x teleconverter. The kit appears to include a camera grip as well.
