Reviews for the Honor Magic8 Lite
Honor Magic 8 Lite review: Mid-range magic
Source: Tech Advisor
The Magic 8 Lite has a lot going for it. Its standout features – the massive 7,500 mAh battery, a vibrant 6.79-inch OLED screen, and a strong suite of AI capabilities – deliver a premium feel worth far more than its expected cost. While it is held back by a merely adequate, inherited camera system and the pre-loaded Honor bloatware, the Magic 8 Lite offers enough top-tier endurance and display quality to be confidently recommended – provided you live in Europe, where long-term support is guaranteed.

Over the past few weeks, I've learned the Honor Magic 8 Lite is nearly impossible to kill thanks to its 7500mAh battery, built-in drop resistance, and IP69K rating that rivals the most expensive flagships
Source: Android Central
Honor impresses with a mid-range winner that sports the largest battery and fastest charging speeds in its class, plus a build quality that's made to last for a very long time, with class-leading drop and ingress protection. Performance is generally excellent, and the software is full of fantastic features. Launching with Android 15 is a bummer, but at least it's got six years of promised OS updates in Europe. I'm not a fan of the flat sides or the cheap haptics, and the camera can be frustratingly slow, but something's got to give at this price range, and these aren't terrible trade-offs.

The Honor Magic 8 Lite has the best battery life of any phone I've ever tested – but it's not a total home run
Source: Techradar
The Honor Magic 8 Lite offers truly unmatched battery performance. If you hate having to charge often, you'll love this phone. Enhanced aesthetics, increased durability, speedy charging (when you do need it), and a lovely display all sweeten the deal, but lackluster performance and middling cameras ruin the fun. With the Honor Magic 8 Lite, the battery is undoubtedly the star of the show. It has the same massive 7,500 mAh capacity as the Oppo Find X9 Pro, but when combined with its lower-end energy-efficient chip, it lasts even longer. I'm not exaggerating when I say that four days on a single charge is quite easy to achieve with this phone. The Magic 8 Lite's construction has been significantly upgraded this year, too.

Honor Magic8 Lite review
Source: GSM Arena
The Honor Magic8 Lite is one of those updates that doesn't scream "new generation" through raw specs, but wins you over with how thoroughly it refines the formula. The star of the show is unquestionably durability - this is a mid-ranger that flirts with rugged-phone territory without looking or feeling like one. IP68/IP69K certification, resistance to high-pressure water jets, immersion up to 6m and drop protection rated to 2.5m are huge upgrades over previous Lite models and easily one of the main reasons to pick this phone over its rivals. Pair that with a large and bright 120Hz AMOLED with HDR10 support, excellent fingerprint reader and solid stereo speakers, and you get a genuinely pleasant everyday experience. The fundamentals are all covered too.
