Honor Magic 8 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro: Sample Photos Comparison
Can Honor's new "magical" flagship beat the iPhone 17 Pro in camera quality?
Honor has been quite unique among Android flagships. It's the only phone to offer a 3D Face ID system, similar to the one on the iPhone. You also have a fingerprint scanner embedded in the screen if you prefer that.
We really wish more Android phones came with such a choice, but even the biggest manufacturers like Samsung and Google do not offer a 3D face unlock system (they use a less secure 2D image-based face recognition).
Honor, however, while always striving for camera excellency, has never quite been on par with the heavyweights. With the Magic 8 Pro, it aims to change that. The main change is the adoption of a large sensor 200MP telephoto camera with a sensible 3.7X zoom range. You also have a powerful 50MP main camera with big, 1/1.3-inch sensor and excellent image stabilization. The ultra-wide camera is also quite decent, take a look at the full specs below.
