Honor Magic8’s screen rumored to shrink, here are the details

Honor launched the Magic7 and Magic7 Pro in October, and a Magic7 Mini might be on the way for a launch near the middle of this year. Then it will be time for the Magic8 series, and according to a new rumor from China, this will once again arrive around October.

Interestingly, the Magic8’s screen size will shrink to 6.59″ from 6.78″ on its predecessor. The screen resolution will be “1.5K” again as is the norm for Honor smartphones, and it will be an LIPO OLED panel with 120 Hz refresh rate.

The display will have incredibly narrow bezels on all four sides, under 1mm apparently – that would be a new industry record. It’s also a flat screen, perhaps unsurprisingly given how popular those currently are with Chinese smartphone makers.

Those are all the details outed so far, but if history repeats itself, then expect the Magic8 to be powered by the next generation of Qualcomm’s top of the line SoC (Snapdragon 8 Elite 2?).
