Honor Magic 8 Series, Magic V6 Foldable Tipped To Pack Major Camera Upgrade

Honor is reportedly set to introduce a significant camera upgrade for its next-generation smartphones. A recent leak from a prominent tipster suggests the company's upcoming Magic 8 series and the Magic V6 foldable device will feature a 200MP primary camera.

This move signals a major focus on high-resolution imaging for Honor's premium lineup, with one of the handsets in the Magic 8 series also rumoured to include a 200MP periscope telephoto lens.

According to a post by tipster Digital Chat Station on the social media platform Weibo, Honor has acquired a large supply of 200MP sensors for its future devices. The leak specifically mentions that the Honor Magic 8 series will receive a 200MP main sensor.

Furthermore, the top-tier model, believed to be the Honor Magic 8 Ultra, is tipped to incorporate an additional 200MP sensor for its telephoto camera, supporting a periscope lens design. While the exact sensor model is unknown, it's speculated to be a large, custom-designed OmniVision sensor.

The report also claims that the Honor Magic V6 foldable phone will feature an upgraded 200MP main camera. This would be a substantial upgrade for the foldable line, as the Magic V5, its predecessor, launched with a 50MP primary camera.

The Magic V6 is expected to continue the brand's push for advanced camera technology on its foldable devices, bringing it more in line with the high-megapixel trend seen in other flagship smartphones.
