HONOR Magic8 Pro Arrives in Singapore

HONOR has officially launched the Magic8 Pro in Singapore, unveiling its next-generation AI-powered imaging flagship alongside two new ecosystem devices in the MagicBook Art 14 and the HONOR Watch Fit.

The brand’s latest push into the premium segment sets its sights not only on power and performance, but on redefining mobile creativity through advanced AI imaging.

A Flagship Centred on Master-Grade AI Imaging

The Magic8 Pro’s most significant leap forward lies in its AiMAGE camera system, headlined by a 200MP Ultra Night Telephoto Camera with a large 1/1.4-inch sensor, a wide f/2.6 aperture, optical stabilisation, and 3.7x optical zoom. These upgrades enable significantly better light capture and clarity, especially in low-light scenes. This is complemented by a 50MP Ultra Night Main Camera and a 50MP ultra-wide lens, forming a trio that firmly puts the phone in professional-grade territory.

New algorithms also play a critical role. HONOR’s AI Adaptive Stabilisation Model increases shake detection accuracy and raises overall telephoto stability to a CIPA 5.5-level, allowing crisp handheld shots without needing a tripod. Magic Color, HONOR’s new AI colour engine, extracts and analyses over 16 million colours to deliver more accurate tones across portraits, landscapes, and low-light environments.

Singapore’s Mandai Night Safari, in partnership with HONOR, showcased these capabilities. Wildlife photographers captured detailed nocturnal shots — from sugar gliders to binturongs — demonstrating how effectively the Magic8 Pro handles minimal-light conditions.

An AI-Driven User Experience

Beyond photography, HONOR is leaning fully into AI-led interactions. A dedicated AI Button on the Magic8 Pro provides instant access to tools like AI Photos Agent, which enables erasing objects, adjusting colours, expanding backgrounds, and refining portraits with one-tap or voice activation. AI Screen Suggestions and the AI Settings Agent simplify multitasking by responding contextually to what appears on screen, while real-time detection safeguards help identify deepfakes and voice clones during calls.

Google Gemini is pre-installed as part of HONOR’s AI ecosystem and supports multimodal input across text, voice, and images. Features such as overlay assistance, connected apps, and live visual recognition broaden the phone’s creative and productivity potential.

Flagship Performance, Endurance, and Display

Under the hood, the Magic8 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, delivering top-tier CPU, GPU, and AI compute performance. HONOR also introduces GPU-NPU AI super-resolution technology, transforming demanding open-world titles from 60fps at 850p to 120fps at 1080p—an impressive feat that blends hardware power with AI optimisation.

A sizeable 7,100 mAh silicon-carbon battery powers the device for a full day, supported by 100W wired and 80W wireless HONOR SuperCharge. The 6.71-inch LTPO OLED display brings a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate and peaks at 6,000 nits HDR brightness. Eye-comfort tech such as Dynamic Dimming, Circular Polarised Display 2.0, and 4320Hz PWM dimming improves readability and reduces strain.

Pricing, Colours, and Pre-Order Bonuses

The Magic8 Pro launches in Sunrise Gold, Sky Cyan, and Black. Singapore pricing begins at SG$1,499 for the 12GB+512GB model, while the top-end 16GB+1TB variant retails at SG$1,699.

Pre-orders run from today until December 5 and include gifts worth SG$1,034, such as Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones, an extended warranty, and Google AI Pro access. Multiple retail channels, including HONOR Experience Stores, major retailers, telcos, and online platforms, are participating.

MagicBook Art 14 and HONOR Watch Fit Expand the Ecosystem

Alongside the flagship phone, HONOR has introduced the MagicBook Art 14 and Watch Fit to Singapore. The MagicBook Art 14 features a 14.6-inch OLED anti-reflection touch display, Intel Core Ultra 7 chipset, and a detachable magnetic camera geared toward privacy-conscious users. It pairs seamlessly with the Magic8 Pro through AI Cross-OS WorkStation, supporting unified workflows and cross-device file management.

The HONOR Watch Fit rounds out the lineup with up to 23 days of battery life, 5ATM + IP68 water resistance, and fast syncing with the Magic8 Pro for health, fitness, and daily activity tracking.

The MagicBook Art 14 retails at SG$2,299, while the Watch Fit starts at SG$149. HONOR’s full online store and retail channel listings remain available for users ready to explore the broader ecosystem.
