(Image credit - 9to5Google) After the grand unveiling of Honor’s Alpha Plan at the recently concluded MWC 2025, we are not getting multiple reports about Honor’s future devices. Here’s a quick roundup of recent leaks and speculations on what Honor seems to be working on. Honor’s 1-Inch Sensor for Magic8 RSR Porsche Design According to a recent post of leakster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, Honor’s upcoming Magic8 series is set to include models ranging from 6.3 inches to 6.8 inches. The most exciting part is that Magic8 RSR Porsche Design is rumored to feature a 1-inch camera sensor developed in-house. Recent post of leakster Smart Pikachu on Weibo. (Translated via Google Translate) The Magic8 RSR will reportedly pair this 1-inch sensor with a variable aperture lens, allowing it to let in more light in low-light conditions while adjusting for bright daylight shots. What’s still unclear is why Honor decided to develop its own sensor instead of using one from Sony, Samsung or OmniVision. It has something unique in mind that existing sensors couldn’t offer? This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of a smartphone brand making its own sensor. Earlier rumours suggested Huawei was developing a custom sensor for the Pura 70 series, but it ultimately used Sony and OmniVision sensors instead. It’ll be interesting to see if Honor succeeds where its former parent company didn’t. As of now, the custom sensor will only be available on the premium Magic8 RSR model, but if it performs well and production costs go down, it could eventually make its way into future Honor flagships. Honor - A ‘Mini’ Flagship and an Ultra-Thin Phone Honor seems to be exploring two major trends in the smartphone industry, which are ultra-thin phones and compact flagships. According to leaker Digital Chat Station, Honor has started working on an ultra-thin phone, though details are scarce. Given the company’s success with the Magic V3 foldable, we can expect a sleek and well-designed device when it finally arrives. Digital Chat Station’s recent post on Weibo.

The device is expected to feature a 6.3-inch display, which is not exactly mini by traditional standards but noticeably smaller than the 6.8-inch Magic7 Pro. There’s no word yet on the launch timeline for these devices, but Honor’s lineup is definitely shaping up to be exciting. FAQs Q1. What is the unique feature of the Honor Magic8 RSR Porsche Design?
