Back in May we heard that Honor’s upcoming Magic8 flagship series would include a Mini, and today on Weibo a few of this device’s specs have been outed.
According to the prolific Chinese leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station, the Honor Magic8 Mini will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 SoC, which is interesting since the Magic7 devices all went with Snapdragon chipsets.

The Magic8 Mini will allegedly boast a 6.3-inch display, and the phone will be thin and light – very thin, in fact. Because of that, it won’t have a huge battery, but DCS assures us that it’s still much larger than the one in the Apple iPhone 17 Air, and the software will be optimized to be very battery-friendly too.
It’s unclear when the Magic8 Mini will launch, but there’s some speculation over on Weibo that it could arrive a bit later than the other members of the family. For reference, note that the Magic7 handsets were announced in October and released in early November, but since both MediaTek and Qualcomm are unveiling their next-gen flagship chipsets in late September this year, the timeline may shift.
