Last year, the Honor Magic 6 Lite won everyone over. Solid, autonomous and curved, the smartphone suffered from only a few flaws that Honor seems to have rectified with its younger sibling, the Honor Magic 7 Lite. The latter is now official and offers an attractive technical sheet, led by a monster battery.
A great new generation battery
The latter really adopts silicon-carbon technology and increases its capacity to reach 6600 mAh (fast charging compatible up to 66 W). On paper, Honor promises a three-day battery life and a smartphone that’s still thin and light: 7.98mm for 189g. Its screen, still AMOLED and curved, measures a comfortable 6.78″ (2700 x 1224 px at 120 Hz).
Designed to withstand drops of up to 2 meters, the terminal is now IP64 certified. Inside, we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC supported by 8 GB of RAM. Everything runs on Android 14 and MagicOS 8.0 overlay, with some AI-powered tools, especially for photography. Honor did not specify when its smartphone will be updated, which was one of the weak points of the previous model.
Finally, on the sensor side, in the matrix island slightly revised for the occasion, we find a 108 MP main sensor with OIS, a 5 MP ultra-wide angle and a 2 MP macro. Selfie enthusiasts will benefit from the 16 MP on the front.
A better model, but more expensive?
The Honor Magic 7 Lite is set to release in the UK on January 15 for £399.99. The price in Euros as well as its release date in France is unknown. However, with this price across the channel and a number of improvements over the previous model, the Honor Magic 7 Lite could well exceed €400.
