Slim design and durability
At 6.1 mm thick and 155 grams, the Magic 8 Pro Air is easy to carry. Its compact dimensions may also make it practical to keep in a pocket and use in the hand.
The phone has IP68 and IP69 ratings. These cover protection against dust, immersion in water and exposure to high-pressure water under specified test conditions. They do not mean the device is immune to liquid damage in all circumstances.
Processor, memory and storage
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 is an eight-core chip made using a 3 nm process. Its C1-Ultra core runs at up to 4.21 GHz. The hardware is designed for demanding tasks such as gaming, running multiple apps and processing high-resolution video, though specifications alone do not guarantee the same level of smoothness under every workload.
The phone has between 12 and 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. More RAM provides additional room for apps to remain open at the same time. UFS 4.1 storage ranges from 256 GB to 1 TB and holds apps, photos, videos and other files.
Cameras: main, telephoto and macro
The main camera has a 50 MP sensor measuring 1/1.3 inches and an f/1.6 aperture. Optical image stabilization (OIS) helps reduce the effect of camera shake when shooting handheld, which can be useful in lower light.
The 64 MP periscope telephoto camera offers 3.2x optical zoom and OIS. It brings distant subjects closer without relying solely on a digital crop. Image quality also depends on lighting conditions and the chosen zoom level.
The third rear camera is a 50 MP ultrawide with a 112-degree field of view and macro support. It can capture wider scenes as well as close-ups. The 50 MP front camera supports 4K video recording.
Software
The phone runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16. Its main appeal is the combination of a slim body, powerful chipset and cameras with different fields of view for users who want a lighter phone without giving up a telephoto camera or larger memory capacity.
