Honor teases Magic 7 Pro: Quad-camera setup and sci-fi-inspired design revealed

Honor is gearing up for two major launches in the coming days. This Wednesday, the company will officially unveil MagicOS 9.0, the next major iteration of its Android-based software.

Ahead of the launch, Honor provided a preview of what appears to be the Honor Magic 7 Pro. A teaser video has appeared, showing the familiar camera island design first seen on the Honor Magic 6 Pro. However, the new Magic 7 Pro will feature a more advanced quad-camera setup, upgrading the previous triple-lens system. The color option highlighted in the video, called “Moon Shadow Grey,” is said to be inspired by the first-ever sci-fi film A Trip to the Moon. This unique colorway offers a sleek, futuristic look that complements the phone’s high-tech features.

iPhone-like 3D facial recognition and powerful zoom capabilities

While the teaser doesn’t reveal the front of the device, a schematic of the user manual offers more information. Like its predecessor, the Magic 7 Pro will have a pill-shaped hole in the front screen, which houses a 3D ToF (Time of Flight) sensor for secure and advanced facial recognition.

The rear camera setup promises impressive zoom capabilities, with 6x optical zoom and up to 100x hybrid zoom. Based on the schematics, the top left module features a square lens, typical of a periscope zoom camera, further confirming its powerful zoom functionality.

Curved display and more modern design

The Honor Magic 7 Pro will continue the brand’s trend of offering premium display technology, as confirmed by Honor CEO George Zhao, who was spotted holding the phone in a recent photo. The image reveals that the Magic 7 Pro will feature a curved display, mirroring the design of the Magic 6 Pro.

Additionally, the phone’s user manual outlines key design details, including the placement of the side keys, the USB-C port (which doubles as a headphone jack due to the absence of a 3.5mm port), and the tray. dual nano-SIM. However, like many modern flagships, the Magic 7 Pro won’t include a microSD card slot, limiting external storage options.

As Honor prepares for the global reveal of MagicOS 9.0 and the Magic 7 series, excitement is building around new software and hardware innovations. The official launch of the Honor Magic 7 series, including its powerful camera system and cutting-edge design, is just around the corner.
