Reviewers rate the Honor Magic 8 Pro higher: 79 against 73 for the Honor Magic 8 Lite.
Reviewers agree · 6 reviews
Suits buyers who want very long battery life, a bright screen and a tough body on a budget or mid-range price. Trade-offs are a weak ultra-wide camera, modest performance and gaming, and bloated software; the charger is not included.
Reviewers agree · 9 reviews
Suits buyers wanting a bright, long-lasting flagship with long software support and strong telephoto zoom. Trade-offs include cluttered software, a bulky camera module, and low-light or processing issues, with the price and regional availability also limiting.
