Honor’s Embrace of 200MP Cameras
Expanding on the initial news, reports have surfaced indicating that Honor will outfit all its upcoming flagship smartphones with a 200MP main camera.
This impressive upgrade applies to the entire Magic 8 lineup, including the forthcoming Honor Magic V6. The successor to the acclaimed Honor Magic V5 foldable is projected to hit the market around mid-2026.
The Honor Magic 8 Ultra is expected to be a powerhouse, featuring not only a 200MP main camera but also a 200MP periscope telephoto camera.
While the Honor Magic 7 Pro received praise for various aspects, its camera system left room for improvement. The potential of an Ultra model from Honor is certainly intriguing.
