Honor's Magic 7 Pro is a refined flagship Android phone that weaves the most recent AI functions with innovative hardware. It stands out all over that matters. You get an exceptionally flexible cam, remarkable endurance, fast charging, silky smooth efficiency, and an outstanding display screen. Numerous subtle however crucial enhancements over its predecessor raise this mobile phone to the next level.
Chinese phone maker Honor has actually impressed me with its hardware of late, from in 2015's Magic 6 Pro to the impossibly svelte Honor Magic V3. This year, it has actually paid more attention to the software application with some welcome polish. Its heavy financial investment in AI is starting to develop, with functions that feel more useful in the Magic 7 Pro than in its predecessors. It's a costly flagship at ₤ 1,099 ($1,346), and regretfully it's not formally offered in the United States. UK and European purchasers should not sleep on the Magic.
Subtle Refinements
In the beginning glimpse, the Magic 7 Pro looks comparable to the 6 Pro, however I was pleased to discover a flatter screen and frame, making it much more comfy to utilize and less susceptible to unintentional touches than curved glass. Honor has actually reduced the video camera module, though it is still huge enough to unbalance the phone a little. While this phone felt big after utilizing the Pixel 9, it's workable to manage. I'm not in love with the marbled result of my Lunar Shadow Grey evaluation system, however it's more fascinating than the plain blue or black options.
The 6.8-inch screen is as excellent as any I've evaluated. It's brilliant, smooth, and sharp. By the numbers, it has a 2,800 x 1,200-pixel resolution, a variable refresh rate of approximately 120 Hz, and 1,600 nits brightness (as much as 5,000 nits for highlights). Video looks fantastic on the 7 Pro, with Dolby Vision and HDR Vivid assistance, and the speakers are great and loud without distortion. Honor has actually likewise consisted of a number of functions planned to lower eye tiredness and pressure, however they're difficult to measure.
The only small inflammation I had was with the big selfie video camera cutout, though you quickly get utilized to it. It's a compromise I can accept for the benefit of safe and secure face unlock– a rarity on Android phones, as it even deals with banking apps.
There's lots of power under the hood with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and 12 GB of RAM. As you ‘d anticipate, benchmark outcomes are at the top, and this phone can run anything. There's likewise a really generous 512 GB of quick storage, which is more than what many phones use at this cost. The Honor Magic 7 Pro has an IP68 and IP69 ranking too, indicating it can be immersed and manage water jets or steam.
Digging within, a far greater level of polish appears throughout. Honor talks up the AI in the Magic 7 Pro, and we'll enter the particular functions, however it penetrates the phone.
