Why the Magic8 Pro Air

Flagship

The Magic8 Pro Air offers a high-end flagship experience with a powerful 3nm chipset and an impressive display. The camera system is highly capable with a dedicated periscope telephoto lens, and the battery technology is advanced for its slim profile. Performance is estimated based on the flagship-class Dimensity 9500 chipset. The value score reflects its premium pricing, which is somewhat tempered by the lack of an official IP rating and the use of a slower USB 2.0 interface.
