Honor Magic 8 Pro vs Galaxy S25 Ultra: Sample Photos Comparison
Honor's new Magic 8 Pro brings a new telephoto camera to fight the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but can it beat Samsung's flagship?
Honor has long stood out among Android flagships for one main reason: it's the only phone with a true 3D Face ID system, much like the one on iPhones. Honor also gives you a fingperprint scanner, if you prefer that, for a level of choice you simply don't have on other Android phones, including Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra.
With the Magic 8 Pro, the company is inching closer to that perfect camera system. The main upgrade is a 200MP telephoto sensor with a very useful 3.7x zoom range, great for both portraits and longer range zooms. The S25 Ultra, on the other hand, has a stronger 5X zoom lens with a big sensor, but a less powerful 3X camera.
Honor also brings a 50MP main camera with a large 1/1.3-inch sensor and its ultra-wide unit is indeed "ultra" with a focal length of 12mm. Take a look at the full camera specs comparison between the Honor Magic 8 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra below:
