Revolutionary Battery Technology
Perhaps the most striking feature is the implementation of silicon-carbon battery technology, enabling a massive 6,600mAh capacity while maintaining a remarkably thin 7.98mm profile. The device supports 66W fast charging, though wireless charging is not included. This combination of high capacity and fast charging capabilities positions the Magic7 Lite as a potential battery life champion in its class.
Camera Capabilities
The primary camera system is built around a 108-megapixel sensor (1/1.67-inch) with optical image stabilization. It employs 9-in-1 pixel binning technology and offers 3x lossless zoom capabilities, suggesting strong performance in various lighting conditions. The camera system appears particularly optimized for portrait photography.
Software and Performance
Running on Honor's latest MagicOS 8.0 based on Android 14, the Magic7 Lite is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset. The device comes with a generous 8GB of RAM paired with 512GB of storage, ensuring smooth multitasking and ample space for apps and media.
Availability and Pricing
The Honor Magic7 Lite will be available in Titanium Black and Titanium Purple color options. Sales begin on January 15, 2025, with UK pricing set at GBP 399 for the 8/512GB configuration. The device will also be available across various European markets, preceding the global launch of the standard Magic7 and Magic7 Pro models in Slovenia.
