The Honor Magic8 Pro will have a smaller battery in Europe, here’s a look | Infinium-tech
Here we go again – the newly launched Honor Magic8 Pro will have different battery capacities in different regions. We’ve just received direct confirmation that the version sold in the EU will see a significant reduction in battery size, but that’s not the whole story.

The Magic8 Pro is already available in China and locals enjoy a larger 7,200mAh Si/C battery. However, the upcoming global variant will have a capacity of 7,100mAh. It’s less than a 2% difference and not something you’ll notice.
But Europeans will take note – the EU variant of the Magic8 Pro will only have a 6,270mAh battery. Here are the global and EU versions side by side:

This is a drop of approximately 12% and will have a tangible impact on battery life. To be fair, 6,270mAh is still quite a big battery as it is 1,000mAh more than the Magic7 Pro (EU version). The 2024 model achieved a respectable active usage score of 13:53 hours and the new one should beat that easily.
Not only that – the Chinese model has a higher wired charging rate of 120W compared to 100W for the global and EU models. There is no difference in wireless charging, 80W in both cases.
We’ll have more details on the Magic8 Pro and its upcoming global release soon, so stay tuned.
