Honor Magic7 Series New Phone Leaked: Snapdragon 8 Gen4 Power, Enhanced Imaging, October Release

Recently, a new Honor 5G phone with model number BRC-AN00 has passed 3C certification in China, suggesting an upcoming release. Meanwhile, online rumors have revealed details about the Honor Magic7 series, offering insights into the upcoming flagship line.

Honor X60 on the Horizon: X50 Design, Upgraded Specs

Certification information indicates the BRC-AN00 will come with a 35W power adapter, model HN-110320C00 or HN-110320C01. There's speculation that this new phone might be the Honor X60, carrying forward the Honor X50's design with a circular camera module and a 1.5K OLED curved screen, but incorporating some upgrades.

The Honor X50 was released last July, offering four color options: Blaze Orange, Brown Blue, Classic Black, and After the Rain. It starts at 1399 yuan and features the Snapdragon 6 Gen1 processor, a 6.78-inch 1.5K curved screen with 1200 nits peak brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Honor Magic7 Standard Edition Revealed: Crafting a Flagship Experience

Blogger @DigitalChatStation has leaked specs for the Honor Magic7 standard model. It is said to feature a custom high-spec 1.5K display, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor, a large-capacity silicon battery, and a triple-camera setup: 50MP OmniVision OV50H main camera (1/1.3-inch sensor, 1.2m pixel size) + 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope lens (1/1.953-inch sensor) + 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is expected to be built on TSMC's 3nm process technology, utilizing Qualcomm's self-developed Nuvia CPU architecture. The CPU clock speed is rumored to surpass 4GHz, pushing performance to a new level. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is expected to be 25-30% more expensive than the current Snapdragon 8 Gen3, making its debut at the Snapdragon Summit between October 21st and 23rd.

MagicOS 9.0 on the Cusp: Upgraded Game Manager Functionality

The Honor Magic7 series is poised to come pre-installed with MagicOS 9.0, built on Android 15. To enhance user experience, Honor has recently launched a public beta testing program for the Game Manager app version 18.0.18.201. This new version features a revised app UX and introduces a new "Manager Bullet Screen" notification feature (requires MagicOS 9.0 for access).

This feature enables gamers to view messages from other apps displayed as video bullet screens during gameplay, avoiding the interruptions of traditional pop-up notifications. The Game Manager has also received a redesigned aesthetic, reorganizing app functionality buttons for a more cohesive visual experience.

Honor Magic7: Upgraded Specs, Potential Price Increase

The Honor Magic7 series is anticipated to retain the square-circle form factor of the Honor Magic6, incorporating a triple-camera system: 50MP OmniVision OVH9000 main camera with a large sensor + 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens + 32MP telephoto lens.

The 12GB+256GB version of the Honor Magic6 was priced at 4399 yuan, the 16GB+256GB version at 4699 yuan, and the 16GB+512GB version at 4999 yuan. Due to the increased cost of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor, the Honor Magic7 series may experience a price adjustment.

In Conclusion

Overall, the Honor Magic7 series is expected to see significant upgrades in performance, imaging, battery life, and other areas. The official release is anticipated around October. While various specs have been circulating, the actual configuration and pricing will be confirmed upon official announcement. Let's look forward to the official launch of the Honor Magic7 series!
