The wait is finally over! After months of anticipation and seeing it launch in other markets, the HONOR Magic7 Pro has officially landed in the Philippines today, April 10, 2025. HONOR Philippines pulled back the curtain on its latest flagship, and it looks set to shake up the high-end smartphone scene, especially with its serious focus on camera prowess and AI smarts.

HONOR isn’t shy about calling this phone a camera beast, particularly when it comes to zoom. They’ve been teasing its capabilities, even showing comparison shots against unnamed competitors (“Brand S” and “Brand A” – you can probably guess who) where the Magic7 Pro’s 100x AI SuperZoom reportedly came out on top, delivering impressive detail even from 500 meters away and in tricky nighttime conditions.

Price, Pre-orders, and That Sweet Freebie

Now for the important part: how much will this magic cost you? The HONOR Magic7 Pro comes in a single configuration for the Philippines (likely the 12GB RAM/512GB storage variant seen globally) with an official SRP of Php 59,999.

But wait, there’s more! If you jump on the pre-order bandwagon, HONOR is throwing in a seriously cool freebie. Pre-order the HONOR Magic7 Pro from now until April 25, 2025, and you’ll snag a FREE pair of JBL Soundgear Frames worth Php 9,499! That’s a pretty sweet deal to get audio sunglasses along with your new flagship phone.

Ready to grab yours? The HONOR Magic7 Pro is now officially available for pre-order at the Php 59,999 price point, complete with the free JBL Soundgear Frames. You can find the pre-order links here:

Diving Deep: What Makes the Magic7 Pro Tick?

Let’s break down what this phone is packing.

HONOR Magic7 Pro Review 05

Camera System: The Zoom Star
The camera is undoubtedly the headliner here. The rear setup is a triple-threat:

  • A 50MP “Super Dynamic Falcon Main Camera” with a large 1/1.3-inch sensor and a clever variable aperture (f/1.4-f/2.0) to adapt to different lighting. It also has OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).
  • A whopping 200MP Periscope Telephoto lens. This beast features a 1/1.4-inch sensor, f/2.6 aperture, OIS, and enables that impressive zoom range, going up to 3x optical and a staggering 100x AI SuperZoom. Some sources suggest the true optical zoom might be closer to 2.5x, using sensor cropping for the 3x standard mode, but the results, especially at long range, are what HONOR is shouting about.
  • A 50MP Ultra-Wide camera with a 122-degree field of view and autofocus, letting you get super close for macro shots (down to 2.5cm).

HONOR has packed this system with features like AI Motion Sensing Capture for freezing action shots, a special “Stage Mode” optimized for capturing performers clearly from afar using the telephoto lens, and enhanced portrait modes. Early tests show photos are generally sharp with good colors, and having both OIS and EIS helps keep things steady. The 50MP front camera, complete with autofocus and a 3D depth sensor for secure Face ID, is also a significant step up, especially for low-light selfies.

AI Smarts Throughout
Running on MagicOS 9 (based on the latest Android 15), the Magic7 Pro leverages the power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for a whole suite of AI features designed to make life easier. HONOR calls it the “ultimate AI Phone experience”. Key AI highlights include:

  • Google Gemini: Integrated right into the system, offering chat assistance, contextual help, planning tools, and more.
  • Magic Portal: A context-aware shortcut menu activated with a gesture.
  • AI Edit Suite: Includes AI Eraser (easily remove objects), AI Outpainting (expand photo borders), AI Subject Extraction, and AI Image Enhancement.
  • AI Communication Tools: Features like AI Translation (super handy for travel), AI Notes (voice-to-text with summaries), AI Privacy Call (reduces sound leak), and AI Dual-way Noise Reduction for clearer calls.
  • AI Deepfake Detection: An onboard tool to check for potential face-swapping risks

These AI features aim to be genuinely useful, integrating smoothly into the daily user experience.

Performance and Design
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, a cutting-edge 3nm chip, provides the processing power. Paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of fast UFS 4.0 storage (the expected configuration for the Philippines), performance should be buttery smooth across apps and games. HONOR also included an advanced Ultra Wide Area Cooling System, which users have noted keeps the phone remarkably cool even under heavy load, like during extended gaming sessions or content creation.

Design-wise, the Magic7 Pro refines the look of its predecessor with a “Cosmos-inspired” aesthetic and premium feel. It’s slightly bigger but slimmer and lighter than the Magic6 Pro, measuring 162.7 x 77.1 x 8.8mm and weighing 223g. Durability gets a boost with HONOR’s NanoCrystal Shield protecting the display and impressive IP68/IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance – meaning it can handle splashes, dust, and even high-pressure water jets. Color options like Lunar Shadow Grey, Breeze Blue, and Black are available globally, with Lunar Shadow Grey often cited for its sophisticated look.

Display and Battery
The front is dominated by a large 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display with a Quad-Curved design for an immersive feel. It boasts a sharp 1280 x 2800 resolution, vibrant colors (1 billion colors, HDR support), and an adaptive refresh rate (up to 120Hz reported) for smooth scrolling. Peak brightness is incredibly high (up to 5000 nits claimed for HDR), ensuring good visibility, though some reviews suggest extreme outdoor readability could still be bettered. Eye comfort is a major focus, with features like ultra-high frequency 4320Hz PWM dimming to reduce flicker and AI adjustments to minimize eye strain.

Battery life is expected to be a major strength. The phone packs a large 5850mAh second-generation Silicon-carbon battery (for the global model likely coming to PH) managed by HONOR’s E2 power chip. This combination promises excellent endurance, easily lasting through a full day or even two for moderate users. When you do need to top up, it supports blazing-fast 100W wired HONOR SuperCharge and 80W wireless HONOR SuperCharge.

The Final Word

The HONOR Magic7 Pro is making a strong entrance into the Philippine flagship market. Its standout features are clearly the incredibly versatile camera system with that powerful 200MP zoom lens and the deeply integrated AI capabilities powered by the latest Snapdragon chip. Add in the stunning display, robust performance, excellent battery life, and premium build quality, and you have a very compelling package.

At Php 59,999, it’s priced competitively against other top-tier flagships, and the pre-order deal with the free JBL Soundgear Frames (worth Php 9,499) makes it even more tempting until April 25th.
