Honor Magic 8 Pro Allegedly Leaks in White Colourway Ahead of China Launch
Introduction
Honor’s forthcoming Magic 8 series has been building buzz, and now a new leak suggests we may see a white variant of the Pro model before its official release. The images, reportedly shared on Weibo and other social platforms, reveal a clean, light finish on the device—adding to the growing list of rumored color options for the upcoming flagship. As Honor prepares to unveil its next-gen line, here’s a deeper look at what the leak tells us, what else is known about the Magic 8 series, and what to expect at launch.
White Variant Leak: What the Images Suggest
-
The leaked photos portray the Honor Magic 8 Pro in a white colorway, showing a smooth back panel with a large circular camera island.
-
The camera module appears to house multiple sensors and an LED flash, and the island includes AiMAGE branding, hinting at AI-powered imaging features.
-
On the frame, the right side seems to carry the power and volume buttons, along with an extra unidentified button. The left edge is clean, free of physical controls.
-
Design-wise, previous leaks had indicated a quad-curved display and curved rear edges—this white version appears consistent with those earlier design cues.
-
A pill-shaped notch (reminiscent of the Magic 7 Pro) may persist in the display design.
While these leaks don’t confirm every detail, they do add credence to rumors about the aesthetic direction Honor is taking.
What We Already Know: Magic 8 Series Rumors & Specs
The white leak is just one piece of a larger puzzle. Here’s what early leaks and reports suggest about the Magic 8 lineup:
Launch & Platform
-
The Magic 8 series is expected to be officially launched in China on October 15.

Both Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro are heavily rumored to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
Display & Design

The standard Magic 8 is reportedly going with a flat OLED panel (~6.78 inches, ~1.5K resolution)
-
The Pro model might feature a micro quad-curved OLED screen (~6.71 inches) for a more immersive look.
-
Colors leaked for the series include black, white, light blue, and gold (for the standard model) and similar for Pro.
Battery & Charging
-
Magic 8 (non-Pro) is expected to carry a 7,000 mAh battery with 90W wired charging, but no wireless support.
-
The Pro variant may have a slightly larger battery (~7,200 mAh) and support 120W wired + 80W wireless charging.
Cameras & Imaging
-
The camera setup across leaks shows a triple-sensor array, including a 200 MP periscope telephoto lens.

A “red maple multispectral sensor” (for enhanced color accuracy) is rumored to accompany the main, ultra-wide, and periscope sensors.
-
Selfie camera is rumored to be 50 MP.
Other Features & Notes

The Pro model is said to weigh around 222 grams.
-
The series will likely ship with MagicOS 10 (Android-based) and offer high RAM + storage configurations.
-
Earlier leaks have also hinted at a dedicated AI button on the Magic 8 Pro, for instant access to AI functions.
What This White Leak Adds
-
Validation of color options — the white variant leak supports rumors that Honor is offering multiple color finishes.
-
Design consistency — the leak aligns with previous design leaks (curved surfaces, circular camera ring) which helps confirm shapes and styling.
-
Branding clues — the inclusion of AiMAGE wording in the camera island strengthens the belief that AI image processing will be a major highlight.
-
Button layout hints — seeing the frame buttons gives early insight into physical controls (e.g. the extra button could be linked to AI or functions).
What to Take with Skepticism
-
These are leaks and rumors — nothing is confirmed until Honor’s official announcement.
-
The images may represent early prototypes or mockups, not final production units.
-
Specifications (battery, charging, camera) can shift between leaks and final release.
-
Colors in promotional shots sometimes differ from actual retail finish (lighting, render enhancements, etc.)

When Honor officially launches the Magic 8 series, expect:
-
Full spec sheets for both Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro
-
Official color options, including the white finish
-
Price tiers and availability in China (and possibly global markets)
-
Demonstration of AI camera features, possibly leveraging the AiMAGE branding
-
Marketing emphasis on battery, charging, imaging, and flagship performance
Conclusion
The recently surfaced white variant leak of the Honor Magic 8 Pro adds another interesting dimension to what we already thought we knew about the upcoming flagship. Combined with previously leaked specs, design cues, and feature rumors, it gives us a more tangible idea of how Honor is shaping the next generation of its Magic series.
While leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, these consistent hints (design patterns, color options, camera modules) suggest that Honor is doubling down on bold visual flair along with high-end performance.
