The verdict, up front

The 200 MP periscope flagship.

Magic8 Pro pushes Honor's camera identity: a 200 MP 3.7× periscope and variable-aperture main, paired with a 7,200 mAh silicon-carbon battery and 8 Elite Gen 5. It is a top-tier camera and endurance flagship; only price and MagicOS habits give pause.
