Honor Magic7 Pro: A Cheeky Peek into the Future of Smartphones
This Wednesday, folks, we’re not just talking about the weather—Honor is set to unveil the next major version of its Android software, MagicOS 9.0. Hold on to your smartphones, because they’re also unveiling their latest flagships, namely the Honor Magic7 series. A bit like the latest season of a soap opera: unexpected twists and plenty of drama, but with fewer love triangles and more quad cameras.
If you’re anything like me and find yourself gripped with curiosity that rivals a cat’s need for a laser pointer, you’ll be thrilled to see a sneak peek of the Honor Magic7 Pro. The teaser video gives a glimpse of the rear, which by the way, boasts a camera shape that resembles a trendy apartment floor plan—fancy that! This new model is sporting four cameras—yes, four—because three just wasn’t enough. If you’re not seeing double through those lenses, are you even living?
What’s this new color they call “Moon Shadow Gray”? It seems to have been inspired by the first sci-fi flick, A Trip to the Moon. Imagine that—the colors of a magician’s cloak twirling in the cosmos! Although, I must admit, if I hear “Moon Shadow Gray” over a drink, I might just order a cocktail instead. At least then I’d have something to sip while watching the announcements unfold.
Now, let’s address the juicy bits that the teaser video stubbornly withheld: the front of the device. In a tantalizing schematical reveal—because why not tease us more?—the user manual shows that the Magic7 Pro will continue the tradition of a pill-shaped punch hole, housing a 3D ToF sensor for securely recognizing your face. The main question—if it recognizes everyone else’s faces, will it recognize your ex? No guarantees on that front!
But wait, there’s more! The rear camera, which I’m sure will be the protagonist in many a ‘what’s that doing on Instagram?’ scenario, offers 6x optical zoom and a jaw-dropping 100x hybrid zoom. Yes, you heard me right—100x! That’s not so much zoom as it is a ticket to a one-way trip to the moon—for those who wish to take a closer look at the craters. Be careful, though, or you might end up snapping a photo of your neighbor’s cat mid-leap!
In true modern fashion, this device won’t be weighed down by 3.5mm headphone jacks (sorry, wired headphones), but it will sport a USB-C port along with a dual nano-SIM tray. No room for microSD cards here, so you’d better keep an eye on your storage like it’s the last chocolate donut at a meeting. And yes, if you were hoping to expand your options, this might just limit your wild dreams of hoarding all the cat memes.
And let’s not forget the visually appealing aspect—the curved display carries over from its predecessor. This means you can expect a viewing experience that puts the “ooh” in “smooth.” Just don’t try to watch movies without apologizing to your neighbors for any potential smudging of their windows when you get too excited!
So gear up, mark your calendars, and clear your schedule, because it looks like Honor’s going to be serving something magical quite soon. Who knew our smartphones could offer so much drama? Tune in next week for the big reveal, where we’ll see if the Magic7 Pro lives up to its name or if it’s just another phone in a world full of them!
