Why the Honor Magic 7 Pro Is Underrated but Offers Great Value
A Flagship Experience Without the Same Hype
The Honor Magic 7 Pro combines top-tier hardware and intelligent software features in a package that often doesn’t get as much spotlight as bigger brands. Rather than chasing specs alone, it balances design, camera performance, display, and battery life in ways that matter day to day.
Impressive Display & Build
You get a 6.8-inch LTPO OLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, adaptive to your use, making it smooth for everyday interaction and efficient for battery life. It’s protected with sturdy materials and carries IP68/IP69 rating, meaning it can withstand dust, water immersion, and even high-pressure washing conditions. (Honor) The build feels premium in hand—sleek curves, solid frame, and a modern look.
Strong Camera Setup & Imaging Features
The Magic 7 Pro’s camera system is a highlight. It uses a triple camera setup: a 50 MP main sensor with variable aperture, a 200 MP telephoto with 3× optical zoom, and a 50 MP ultrawide with 122° field of view. (Tilifony) The telephoto especially adds flexibility for portrait and zoom shots. Honor also integrates AI imaging features (Honor’s “Falcon Camera” tech) and smart software enhancements to elevate photos in challenging lighting. (Honor)
Power, Storage & Battery
Inside, the phone runs on Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm) chipset with generous RAM and storage options. (Tilifony) Battery capacity is 5,850 mAh with fast wired charging (100W) and wireless charging support (80W). (Tilifony) That combination helps the phone stay in use all day—or even longer—with efficient display management and software optimizations.
Software & Features That Add Real Value
It ships with MagicOS 9.0 on Android 15, bringing features like dual biometrics (3D ultrasonic fingerprint + face unlock), smart display brightness, eye comfort tuning, and AI-driven tools. (Honor) Because Honor designs both hardware and software, many of these features feel cohesive and useful, rather than tacked on.
Where It’s Often Overlooked
- It may not always be the fastest in raw GPU benchmarks compared to ultra-flagship rivals.
- Its telephoto zoom, though impressive, isn’t infinite—some extreme zoom shots may not beat specialist cameras.
- Availability can be limited outside major markets, so buyers might pay a premium or import it.
- Software update longevity may not match some top brands in all regions, though Honor is improving in this area.
Current Price in Kenya & Where to Buy
- The Honor Magic 7 Pro is listed on Phones & Electronics Africa for KSh 135,000. (Phones and Electronics Africa)
- LinkPhones Center offers it in the price range KSh 119,999 – 121,000 for certain variants. (linkphonescenter.co.ke)
- AdishNet Services lists it at KSh 125,000 with full specs (512 GB version shown). (adishnetservices.com)
Because the phone is relatively new and flagship-level, these prices reflect early import/retail margins. Availability may be limited in some physical stores, so many buyers will find it through trusted online Kenyan retailers or specialty phone shops.
Why It’s Truly Underrated & When It’s a Smart Buy
Many consumers focus heavily on “big brand” names or chase extreme specs like ultra high refresh rates or maximum stereo speakers. The Magic 7 Pro doesn’t always lead in every single headline spec—but it delivers a more balanced package. For users who prioritize camera versatility, battery life, display quality, and durability, it often gives more usable performance per shilling than flashy alternatives.
If you’re someone who:
- loves photography (especially portraits or zoom shots),
- uses phones outside in bright light or tough conditions,
- values long battery life and fast charging,
- wants a device that feels premium but doesn’t overpay solely for brand name,
then the Honor Magic 7 Pro is a phone worth serious consideration—even if it remains under the radar for many.
