Honor’s Magic8 series will become official between October and December, most likely in mid-October if rumors are to be believed, and we’ve already seen the Magic8 Pro‘s huge AnTuTu score.
Today, it’s seemingly run Geekbench too – a prototype, at least. This has the model number BKQ-AN90, which has been rumored to belong to the Magic8 Pro. Unsurprisingly, the upcoming device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, which was made official one week ago.
The prototype that ran the benchmark had 16GB of RAM, and booted Android 16 as the Magic8 Pro undoubtedly will when it eventually launches. As you can see, it managed a single-core score of 3,634 and a multi-core score of 10,813 in Geekbench 6.4.0 for Android.
Honor has already confirmed the chipset, so that’s not huge news, but if prototypes are starting to run benchmarks it means we’re getting ever closer to the unveiling of the Magic8 series.
Honor has also revealed that the Magic8 series will have MagicOS 10 on board, which features deep AI integration including on-device AI models and agentic features across 3,000 scenarios covering over 100 widely used apps. The Magic8 Pro will also have a 200MP periscope telephoto camera with an 85mm equivalent lens and f/2.6 aperture.
