Reviews for the Honor Magic8 Pro Air

Honor Magic 8 Pro Air Review: Copycat That Outperforms the Original
Source: ben's gadget reviews English

The Honor Magic 8 Pro Air is a new near-flagship from Honor that is very light (155g) and thin (6.1mm), but from the naming scheme to color options to camera module, it is a very clear iPhone Air copycat. To me, it's tacky, but if you don't mind, this phone offers great specs and performance for its small form factor.
