In our recent weekly poll, we sought your opinions on the Honor Magic7 series, and the results are in—confirming many expectations. Unsurprisingly, the Honor Magic7 Pro emerged as the favorite, while the more budget-friendly Lite model received lukewarm interest.

The Honor Magic7 Pro has garnered significant attention, yet it comes with its critics. Many users expressed disappointment over what they perceive as a modest upgrade from the predecessor, the Magic6 Pro. Our own review echoed this sentiment, highlighting that improvements like the new telephoto camera didn't quite meet high expectations, especially with European variants featuring a noticeably smaller battery. However, the Pro model does deliver on several fronts, boasting unique features like its advanced face scanner for enhanced security.

Meanwhile, the Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design has stirred interest due to its luxury branding. It's akin to the allure of sports cars—while many admire them, the reality is that most consumers will gravitate toward more accessible models that cater to their needs rather than luxury aesthetics.

The Honor Magic7 Lite, on the other hand, seems to have found its niche as a mid-range device. Although it doesn’t pretend to be a flagship—with its less powerful chipset and a mere 5MP ultra-wide camera—its appealing pricing in certain markets means it has the potential to attract a dedicated audience.

Additionally, there’s an often-overlooked fourth variant in the lineup: the standard Honor Magic7. Strangely, this model was not included in the initial launch series along with the Pro, RSR, and Lite. Feedback suggests that if consumers had the choice, many would have favored the vanilla Magic7 over the Pro.

This model swaps the top-tier 200MP telephoto camera for a respectable 50MP telephoto lens and omits the face scanner, opting instead for a simple punch-hole design housing a 50MP selfie camera. Still, it retains the robust Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a stunning LTPO OLED display. Its design mirrors the Pro, though the 5,650mAh battery likely would have been scaled down for European markets. Notably, the high price tag of the Pro was a recurrent theme in user comments, indicating a vanilla magic7 model could have offered a compelling flagship alternative at a more palatable price compared to the Lite.

As consumers explore options in the ever-evolving smartphone market, it appears that the Honor Magic7 series has sparked a dialogue about what users truly desire in a smartphone, balancing performance with affordability. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue to follow Honor's trajectory in the highly competitive tech landscape!
