But as with any good magic trick, it arrives with some flair.
For that reason, it’s hard to recommend buying this new Honor flagship right now.
Honor tries to differentiate things with its eye care tech.

But Honor is also pushing ahead with new screen features like Circular Polarized Display.
At its maximum prefs, the Magic7 Pro hits 5,000 nits of brightness according to Honor’s claims.
That’s a lot of megapixels to be working with.
The Honor shot is warmer, and with more intense colors, while the Pixel shot looks more natural.
The Google image is darker, though, which makes it harder to see the shadows of the shot.
Next, the 200MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, 6x lossless hybrid zoom and a 100x maximum zoom.
For fun, let’s start with the max magnification shot.
Above 10x, Honor’s AI Super Zoom system kicks in to sharpen up the resulting images.
At 3x, the fountain is blurrier on Honor, while sharper and brighter on the OnePlus.
At 6x, neither phone does a particularly good job of capturing the water droplets.
We will wrap this up with a selfie camera portrait mode shot.
In Honor’s case, the phone is using algorithms developed with French photography studio Harcourt.
But they’re different enough from its rivals to be noticeable, and sometimes not for the best reasons.
But phone makers can still choose how hard to push the chip, leading to performance differences.
The phone’s hidden power translates into the real world too.

But Im okay with that, since that’s a lot of memory for the price.
Honor lists the max charging speed of the Magic7 Pro as 100W wired and 80W wireless.
The phone also features Google’s Gemini assistant.

The problem is if you’re also weighing up buying a Samsung flagship phone.
Cross your fingers that the Honor Magic7 Pro doesn’t get lost in the Galaxy S25 tide.
