We’ve been hearing rumors about Honor working on a Magic8 Mini since May, and most recently got a bunch of leaked preliminary specs last month. Today, the same source (the prolific Digital Chat Station on Weibo) is back with some new details.
Let’s start with the battery capacity. It’s going to be 5,500 mAh in the end, which is less than the 6,000 mAh cell initially rumored. But there’s a reason – Honor decided to make the phone under 7mm thick, and the company may even be pushing for under 6mm thickness.

Obviously, that comes with a battery capacity related tradeoff, but even so, it’s going to be 10% bigger than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s, for example. The Magic8 Mini will allegedly have a 6.31-inch LTPO flat OLED screen with “1.5K” resolution, a 200MP main camera, and a 50MP telephoto camera with a 1/1.5″ sensor size.
The device will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC. It’s unclear when it’s launching, but it definitely feels like the unveiling isn’t imminent, so perhaps early next year.
