The HONOR Magic 7 Pro banks on AI to leapfrog the best camera phones, but I don’t think it’s enough

We’re only weeks into 2025, but it’s quickly feeling like we’re spoilt for choice for new flagship Android phones. I’ve spent a couple of weeks in the company of the new HONOR Magic 7 Pro, which aims to stand out from the growing crowd with a sumptuous combination of hardware and AI innovations.

What’s particularly interesting about HONOR’s latest flagship is that it runs on-device AI photography models. AI models have previously been confined to text and image generation, but running a model to enhance the photos you take is a pretty new and potentially exciting concept. And if you know me, you’ll know I’m eager to investigate anything related to the latest and greatest mobile camera tech. So, let’s see if the HONOR Magic 7 Pro can live up to its promise.
