Honor Magic7 Pro review - A powerful camera smartphone with lots of features

Magical.

Artificial intelligence is high on Honor's priority list, which is why the Magic7 Pro boasts a wide range of new AI-supported functions. Its camera in particular features visible improvements, but Honor hasn't let its guard down in other areas either and is offering one of the best smartphones of 2025.

Verdict - Powerful total package with minor weaknesses

The Honor Magic7 Pro has what it takes to become one of the best smartphones of 2025, delivering an impressive overall package that requires hardly any compromises. It boasts an impressive camera setup, performance and battery life, and is currently the only Android smartphone with 3D facial recognition. Finally, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is back on board and it now additionally supports 6 GHz Wi-Fi.

Even so, the smartphone's temperature management is still in need of some improvement—although we didn't notice any limitations during everyday use. Functions such as UWB, Bluetooth LE and Auracast are also still missing. Its 5-year update delivery period is good but Oppo, Samsung and Google offer even more.

Pros

+ bright and accurate LTPO display
+ very good runtimes
+ fast charging
+ versatile camera setup
+ 3D facial recognition and ultrasonic fingeprint sensor

Cons

- overheated during certain stress tests
- EU version with smaller battery
- no UWB
- HDR video only with HDR Vivid

Price and availability

The Magic7 Pro is not available to purchase in the United States. In Europe, the phone retails for €1,300 (approx. $1,340).

The Honor Magic7 Pro is the successor to the Magic6 Pro, and is Honor's flagship smartphone for the year 2025. It was released in China last year.

Honor has done a lot of fine-tuning, giving the Magic7 Pro an improved camera setup that is greatly optimized by AI functions. In addition, 6 GHz Wi-Fi is now finally on board, but UWB is still not available. One annoyance for customers in the EU is its smaller battery.

In Europe, where this test was carried out, only one storage version of the Honor Magic7 Pro will be launched (12/512 GB), which has an MRSP of approximately $1,340.

Case - The Magic7 Pro with improved protection against water

The Honor Magic7 Pro is available in black, a marbled white color (Lunar Shadow Gray) and blue (Breeze Blue)—the latter being our test device. Both the front and back are rounded on all sides, so the Honor smartphone sits comfortably in your hand despite its weight. The glass on the back is frosted, which leaves virtually no chance for fingerprints and feels great to the touch.

The front is protected by NanoCrystal Shield, which we already know from the Magic6 Pro. Despite it already being super scratch-resistant, Honor has added an additional protective film on top. We like its build quality very much. All gaps are tight and even, and the Magic7 Pro withstands twisting attempts without making a noise. Its high-gloss frame looks stylish, but only until it has been touched.

Honor hasn't only given the Magic7 Pro the usual IP68 certification, but has also extended this to IP69, which means it is not just waterproof and dustproof, but can also withstand high pressure and steam jet cleaning.

Connectivity - High standard, but hardly anything new

The Honor Magic7 Pro offers very similar connectivity to its predecessor. It again has a fast USB 3.2 port (Gen 1), which achieved a good speed of 320 MB/s during our copying test. Wired image output is also possible, in which the content is mirrored.

In addition to NFC, an IR transmitter is also embedded in the top of the Magic7 Pro, which can be used to remotely control compatible devices such as televisions, receivers, air conditioning systems or cameras. However, the Honor smartphone still doesn't support UWB.

On the other hand, its fingerprint sensor now relies on more powerful ultrasound technology. Bluetooth LE or Auracast are not on board.

Software - MagicOS 9.0 with Deepfake Detection

The Magic7 Pro comes with Google Android 15 and its own MagicOS 9.0 user interface (UI), which again supports numerous AI functions. These include Magic Portal, AI-supported live translations and image editing. Gemini is also on board, as is Circle to Search.

Honor already presented its AI Deepfake Detection at IFA 2024. This recognizes deepfakes, i.e. image manipulation, during a video call and warns the Magic7 Pro user of potential dangers. However, the function is not yet available at the phone's market launch, but will be added via an update during the first quarter. The servers on which the AI functions are calculated and the data uploaded belong to Honor and are located in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) for the global version of the smartphone.

Sustainability

The Honor Magic7 Pro comes in quite a compact outer box, which is also free of plastic on the inside. Unfortunately, Honor has once again decided to shrink-wrap the entire structure in a transparent film.

All accessories are packed in small cardboard boxes. Honor hasn't provided any information on its CO2 footprint or whether and how many recycled materials are used in the Magic7 Pro's production.

Spare parts for the Magic7 Pro are not sold directly to customers and there are no instructions for repairs. However, it is possible to have your smartphone repaired directly by Honor.

Honor is set to release four major updates and five years of security patches for its smartphone.

Communication and GNSS - Precise location services and finally 6 GHz WLAN

The Honor Magic7 Pro supports modern Wi-Fi 7, which finally includes the 6 GHz band. In combination with our Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 reference router, it achieved high and stable transmission rates, whereby it was slightly faster when transmitting in both frequency bands than when receiving.

It additionally supports a broad range of cellular frequencies, ensuring a wide range of applications globally; at best, 5G Sub6 is available for this. During our test, its reception was very good in a metropolitan environment and gave no cause for criticism.

Honor hasn't given any precise information on which global satellite networks (GNSS) are supported by the Magic7 Pro. However, we were able to use the common networks with a dual-band connection during our test. The phone located us super quickly and precisely.

On a bike trip, we compared how accurate the smartphone's location services are compared to the Garmin Venu 2, with the Honor phone delivering very good results indeed.

Telephone functions and call quality

The Honor Magic7 Pro supports dual messenger apps, VoLTE and Wi-Fi calls, and can accommodate two nano SIM cards. The second SIM can be deactivated in favor of an eSIM. 5G is available for both active SIMs, but the data line cannot be switched automatically if reception is poorer with one SIM.

Its call quality is similar to the Magic6 Pro—it sounds very natural with the phone held up to your ear and most ambient noise is reliably filtered out, even with more intrusive noise. The loudspeaker mode delivers good quality and the microphone's range is long. Even at a distance of almost four meters from the smartphone, we were still easily understood by the person on the other end of the line, but the sound was then a little tinny.

Cameras - The Magic7 Pro features a new 200-MPix sensor

Selfie on the Pro
Selfie (portrait mode)

The Honor Magic7 Pro's front-facing camera again has a 50-MPix resolution and no autofocus. Nevertheless, it takes good pictures—even in low light, as it supports pixel binning. If you like, you can also take selfies using the full resolution. The front camera can now record videos in Ultra HD at up to 60fps.

The Super Dynamic Falcon Main Camera is the heart of the setup on the back and again features a 50-MPix resolution and a variable aperture of f/1.4 to f/2.0. The Honor smartphone aims to deliver great results, especially with moving subjects. The Harcourt filters are also included once more when shooting in portrait mode and they deliver nice-looking results. On the other hand, the new AI Enhanced Portrait mode is a matter of taste, as it smoothes out the subject a lot and blurs details such as fine hair with the beauty filter additionally activated, which is why we recommend turning it off. Portraits then look much better. In general, however, the Magic7 Pro is a great photography smartphone that delivers good to very good results in all lighting conditions. Only our rabbit motif could have been depicted in a little more detail.

The new zoom lens now has a powerful 200-MPix resolution and, like the main sensor, is supported by optical image stabilization (OIS). When taking photos using this lens, make sure you keep a sufficient distance, otherwise the lens will swallow up details. Thanks to its high resolution, you can achieve a six-fold zoom with almost no loss in quality. In our test photo, however, you can already see that details are no longer perfectly reproduced at five times magnification. A maximum magnification of 100x is possible. The AI zoom function takes effect from a magnification of 30x and ensures visibly clearer results, which are perfectly usable for social media, but the quality is not optimal for a printed photo.

The phone's ultra-wide angle camera is also the macro lens. It's impressive even in backlit shots and boasts a good depth of field that only decreases slightly towards the edge.

At best, the main camera on the back can record videos in Ultra HD at up to 60fps. Unfortunately, there is no 120fps or 8k option. However, LUT tones are supported and you can also create HDR recordings—but sadly only in HDR Vivid. The image stabilization works well and it is possible to switch between lenses during recording.

Accessories and warranty - Without a power supply in the EU

The Honor Magic7 Pro comes in a slim cardboard box, which already suggests that there is no space for a power supply unit—and that is the case. Its scope of delivery only includes a SIM tool and a USB-C cable.

The phone's warranty in Germany, where this test was carried out, is 24 months and cannot be extended or expanded.

Input devices & operation - The Magic7 Pro with a range of biometric functions

The Honor Magic7 Pro's capacitive touchscreen is nice and smooth, and implements inputs quickly and precisely all over. It has an integrated ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which was last seen inside the Magic4 Pro. Saved prints are recognized super quickly and accurately.

In addition or as an alternative, you can use 3D facial recognition via the ToF sensor next to the front camera. This is in no way inferior to the fingerprint sensor in terms of security and speed. To further increase security, the Magic7 Pro uses a so-called Discrete Security Chipset—the Honor S1 security chip—which additionally protects passwords and biometric data.

Aside from the usual knuckle gestures and one-handed mode, the Magic7 Pro also supports touchless gestures. An eye-tracking function is also new, although this has only limited uses to date.

Its integrated linear vibration motor provides haptically appealing and crisp feedback.

Display - The Honor Magic 7 Pro promises up to 5,000 nits

Sub-pixel array

The Honor Magic7 Pro's OLED display features similar specifications to its predecessor. It supports LTPO with a dynamic refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz, offers an extended Full HD resolution and supports all HDR standards—even HDR Vivid.

On the Magic6 Pro, its peak brightness of 5,000 cd/m2 was reserved exclusively for HDR photos, but Honor has now extended this to all HDR content. We measured up to 4,697 cd/m2 when playing an HDR video on YouTube, which is very close to this specification. When showing an all-white display, we noted a very good 1,607 cd/m2 in the center of the screen, and even when displaying a reduced white area (APL18: 1,634 cd/m2), there was hardly any change. If you adjust the brightness manually, you can expect up to 802 cd/m2.

Honor once again works using high-frequency PWM dimming at a frequency of up to 4,320 Hz. At minimum display brightness, we measured a low base frequency of 360 Hz; the high-frequency dimming was only visible with our oscilloscope from a brightness of around 7%. As with the Magic V3, the new model's panel also supports a defocus stimulation and can adjust the color tone to the ambient light conditions if desired. In addition, it now has a circular polarized light, which is intended to come even closer to natural light to protect your eyes as much as possible. Although we can't completely rule out discomfort for sensitive users, the likelihood of this happening with the Magic7 Pro is minimal.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 360 Hz
Amplitude: 13.19 %
Secondary Frequency: 4166 Hz

The display backlight flickers at 360 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 360 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8627 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Measurement series with fixed zoom level and different brightness settings (The amplitude curve at minimum brightness looks flat, but this is due to the scaling. The info box shows the enlarged version of the amplitude at minimum brightness).

We checked the display's color accuracy using a photo spectrometer and the Calman analysis software. We noted the best result using the color mode Normal (color temperature: Standard), in which there were no significant deviations from the target.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
1.01 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 0.5075 ms rise
↘ 0.5035 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 2 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
1.51 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 0.721 ms rise

The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 5 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.7 ms).

Even though the Magic7 Pro's peak APL brightness is lower than that of some competitors, the Honor smartphone always remains easy to read even in direct sunlight.

Performance - A Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the Honor Magic7 Pro

The Honor Magic7 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite with 12 GB LPDDR5x RAM. It therefore uses one of the fastest and most versatile SoCs currently available.

As with its predecessor, a so-called performance mode can also be selected on this model. Although its effects are not particularly great, we activated it permanently for the benchmarks to better illustrate the SoC's capabilities.

Nevertheless, its test results lagged somewhat behind those of the competition featuring the same chipset, which is probably due to the phone's cooling. However, the Magic7 Pro performed really well in the system benchmarks and also delivered good results in the modern AI benchmarks.

The performance differences shouldn't be noticeable during everyday use and you can safely leave performance mode switched off.

We again observed that the Honor Magic7 Pro couldn't quite keep up with the competition and always generated a few frames less than expected.

The Magic7 Pro relies on fast UFS 4.0 flash storage, which offers great performance when it comes to its sequential read and write speeds, but is slower than expected with small data blocks.

Games - Stable 120fps is no problem for the Magic7 Pro

We used GameBench to test the Magic7 Pro's gaming capabilities in more detail when running selected titles. The Honor smartphone showed no limitations even with high detail levels or frame rates. The full 120fps was available for World of Tanks at the highest detail level and PUBG Mobile also ran smoothly at up to 120 frames per second.

Unfortunately, a small problem occurs if the ambient light sensor is covered with your hand when you hold the phone in landscape mode and the display then dims the brightness. The only solution is to adjust the brightness manually.

Emissions - Overheating during the stress test

Temperature

The Honor Magic7 Pro's surface temperatures rose above 40 °C across the board under constant load and up to 46.3 °C in certain spots. That is very warm but completely harmless.

Since the Burnout benchmark easily ran for two hours without overheating, we didn't expect both the 3DMark Solar Bay stress tests and the Wild Life Extreme stress test to be terminated due to overheating. There were also significant performance reductions in the other stress tests, but so far this has not had a negative impact during everyday use.

Speakers

The Magic7 Pro's two speakers deliver good sound. However, the quality drops audibly at high volumes and the trebles in particular are somewhat overdriven. Even so, the quality is good for a smartphone.

A wired audio connection can be established via USB-C, while Bluetooth—which supports the most common audio codecs—is available wirelessly.

Power consumption

The Honor Magic7 Pro's power consumption could do with being slightly lower at minimum display brightness but otherwise, the device is comparatively frugal. During the tests at an adjusted brightness, however, it required more energy than a Xiaomi 15 Pro with the same SoC.

The Honor Magic7 Pro can be charged via a cable at up to 100 watts. In our test, one full charge using an original power adapter only took 31 minutes (55% after 15 minutes), but the charging boost must also be activated by holding the animation. Otherwise, the Magic7 Pro charges at a reduced speed to conserve the battery. A full charge then takes one hour and nine minutes (50 %: 13 min, 80 %: 25 min).

You can also charge the phone wirelessly at up to 80 watts. In this case, the Honor smartphone needs exactly 40 minutes (52%: 19 min).
