Honor Magic 7

The Honor Magic 7 measures 162.1 mm tall, 75.8 mm wide, and 8 mm thick, with a total volume of 98.29744 cm³ and a weight of 199 g. It is not a folding device and does not feature a rugged build, but it does carry a full waterproof rating backed by IP69 certification, offering strong resistance against high-pressure water exposure.

The Honor Magic 7 features a 6.78″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1264 x 2800 px and a pixel density of 453 ppi, delivering a sharp and detailed image across its touch-sensitive panel. The display runs at a 120Hz refresh rate with a 360Hz touch sampling rate, and reaches a typical brightness of 1600 nits. It supports HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision for wide color and dynamic range compatibility, though it does not include an Always-On Display mode, a secondary screen, or branded damage-resistant glass.

The Honor Magic 7 is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 3 nm chipset with an 8-thread CPU configured at 2 x 4.32 GHz and 6 x 3.53 GHz using big.LITTLE architecture with HMP support, and an Adreno 830 GPU clocked at 1100 MHz with 1536 shading units and support for up to 2 displays. The SoC integrates LTE, TrustZone security, integrated graphics, and supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3. It comes with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM running at 5300 MHz across 2 memory channels, a maximum supported memory amount of 24 GB, a peak memory bandwidth of 85.1 GB/s, and ECC memory support, alongside 1024 GB of internal storage. The CPU cache hierarchy consists of 192 KB L1, 12 MB L2, and 8 MB L3, and the chipset operates within a TDP of 8.2W. Benchmark results include an AnTuTu score of 3,015,000, a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 10,059, and a single-core score of 3,234, with multithreading and 64-bit support confirmed.

The Honor Magic 7 features a triple rear camera system with three 50 MP sensors and apertures of f/1.9, f/2.4, and f/2, backed by a CMOS sensor, optical image stabilization, 3x optical zoom, and a dual LED flash — though it lacks a dual-tone flash, a BSI sensor, or an RGB flash. Autofocus options include laser autofocus, phase-detection autofocus for stills, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording. On the manual controls side, the camera supports adjustable exposure, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus, along with RAW capture, HDR mode, burst mode, in-camera panoramas, slow-motion video, and timelapse — while 360° panorama and 3D photo/video recording are not supported. Video recording reaches up to 2160 x 60 fps, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. The front camera resolves at 50 MP with an f/2 aperture and is a single-lens unit positioned above the display, with no front-facing flash, and it does not support under-display placement.

The Honor Magic 7 runs Android 15 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking — though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. The OS supports theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while widgets, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, and sharing intents round out the interface capabilities. On the productivity side, it offers customizable notifications with notification permission controls, app offloading, Live Text, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Multi-user support, a child lock, phone tracking, and a battery health check are also available, and the system is free and open source. Focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not supported, and OS updates do not come directly from the platform vendor.

The Honor Magic 7 houses a rechargeable 5650 mAh battery that supports both wired fast charging at 100W and wireless charging at 80W, with a charger included in the box. A battery level indicator is present, and the battery is not removable. Reverse wireless charging is not supported.

The Honor Magic 7 includes stereo speakers and supports aptX, aptX HD, and LDAC for Bluetooth audio, enabling high-quality wireless playback, though aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless are not available. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack and no built-in radio.

The Honor Magic 7 supports 5G connectivity with download speeds up to 10,000 Mbits/s and upload speeds up to 3,500 Mbits/s, accommodates two SIM cards, and connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, and 7 as well as Bluetooth 5.4. It includes a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, NFC, GPS with Galileo support, a fingerprint scanner, an infrared sensor, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a compass. Notably, the device also features emergency SOS via satellite. There is no external memory slot, no HDMI output, no barometer, no heart rate monitor, no ANT+ support, and no DLNA certification. Crash detection, 3D facial recognition, an iris scanner, a stylus, a built-in projector, motion tracking, and optical tracking are likewise absent.

The Honor Magic 7 includes a video light for use during video recording, while its display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
