While not new, the Honor Magic7 Pro and Magic7 Lite arrived in Europe earlier this week – on Wednesday, the Lite went on sale while the Pro went on pre-order. Then, a day later, the Magic7 RSR Porsche Design joined them.
First, the Pro and RSR models are mostly the same – the latter stands out with a bespoke design, a larger 5,850mAh battery (the global Pro has a 5,270mAh battery) and a different telephoto camera.
The Honor Magic7 Pro has a gently curved 6.8” display, a 10-bit LTPO panel with up to 120Hz refresh rate, plus Dolby Vision and HDR support and Giant Rhino Glass protection. The phone is rated IP68/IP69 for protection against submersion and hot water jets.
The Magic7 Pro and the RSR Porsche Design are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. They have 50MP main cameras (large 1/1.3” sensors) with a variable aperture (f/1.4-f/2.0) and OIS, plus a 50MP ultra-wide (12mm, 122°). The Pro has a 200MP 3x tele camera (f/2.6), while the RSR gets a 180MP tele camera (with a brighter f/1.9 lens), both with OIS. Charging is done at 100W over USB-C and at 80W wirelessly. Honor confirmed to us that it will provide 5 years of OS updates and security patches for the Pro and RSR.
The Honor Magic7 Lite is a mid-ranger with the older Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip. It has a pretty good 6.78” OLED display, a curved 10-bit panel with 120Hz refresh rate (but isn’t LTPO) and up to 4,000 nits peak brightness. That’s almost as high as the Pro/RSR display, which peaks at 5,000 nits.
However, the 108MP rear camera (1/1.67”, OIS, fixed aperture) and ultra-wide camera with only a 5MP sensor show that this is no flagship. The selfie camera is also quite basic with a 16MP sensor, compared to the 50MP unit on the pricier models. On the plus side, the battery is absolutely massive at 6,600mAh and has fast 66W charging.
Naturally, there is a difference in prices too. Check out the table below. Note that the Pro comes with a free Honor MagicPad 2 (normally €600/£500 on its own), while the Lite is paired with the Honor Earbuds Open (worth £150 normally).
