Honor Magic 7 Series to Launch on October 30 Alongside the New MagicOS 9.0

Honor has also confirmed that the Magic 7 series will be officially launched in China on October 30. The lineup will be driven by Qualcomm’s next flagship SoC, expected to be the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. If true, that would make the Honor Magic 7 one of the first phones with this chip – before even potentially the Xiaomi 15 or OnePlus 13.

On October 23rd, a week before the phone’s launch, Honor will also announce its MagicOS 9.0. Earlier this week, DigitalChatStation had revealed key specifications of the Honor Magic 7 series as well.

The phone may also come with a micro-curved screen and ultra-slim bezels.

While the primary and periscope telephoto cameras will remain similar to the previous generation, the main sensor will be upgraded to a 50MP OV50H. The battery capacity is expected to stay at 5,600mAh. Additionally, the leak mentions that a Magic 7 Ultimate Edition, featuring OmniVision’s new OV50K large-sized sensor, is also being tested.
