You don’t earn a place among the best smartphones these days without a cracking set of cameras. Honor has taken that to heart for its latest flagship effort, adding one of the highest pixel count telephoto sensors I’ve ever seen on a phone. The Honor Magic 7 Pro also doubles down on AI smarts, and promises oodles of power courtesy of a Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU.

The replacement for the rather brilliant Honor Magic 6 Pro was announced for China, ahead of an expected rollout in early 2025. It looks every bit the worthy successor at first glance. There’s a 6.8in quad-curved screen up front, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor underneath, and Honor’s familiar 3D depth-sensing selfie camera cutout up top for facial recognition. With a peak 5000 nits, the OLED panel is one of the brightest of any smartphone, while LTPO tech brings an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate.
