Standing atop the Great Wall of China, I took in the breathtaking view—an endless path of stone winding through the mountains, fading into the horizon. From a distance, the details blurred into history. But with a simple tap on the HONOR Magic7 Pro, I zoomed in 5x, 10x, 30x, and more—then suddenly, I wasn’t just looking at the past; I was seeing it. The individual bricks, centuries of wear, the intricate craftsmanship—all came into focus.
This wasn’t just a camera upgrade. It was a new way of seeing the world.


I’ll be honest—I’ve never been a fan of zooming in on phone cameras. Most of the time, you end up with a pixelated mess, like a blurry screenshot of a dream. On the contrary, HONOR’s AI Zoom proved me wrong—it sharpens edges, fills in details, and makes long-distance shots look as if you were there, experiencing the moment firsthand.
Before setting foot in Beijing, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But as I explored the city, I discovered a stunning blend of tradition and modernity.

The 9-degree Celsius weather was crisp, but it didn’t stop us from exploring every corner—from the historic Great Wall to the bustling streets filled with culture, color, and energy. Every sight and every detail was an opportunity to put the HONOR Magic 7 Pro’s camera to the test.
Our stay at the Grand Hyatt Beijing added to the experience. The hotel’s stunning amenities, from the elegant rooms to the dimly lit yet inviting pool area, were the perfect setting to test how well the HONOR Magic 7 Pro captures low-light scenes.



Most mid-range phone cameras struggle in such environments, but with this device, what I saw with my eyes was exactly what appeared on the screen—sharp details, rich colors, and no unnecessary noise. It was a reminder that a great camera isn’t just about daylight shots; it’s about adapting to all lighting conditions seamlessly.


After an inspiring handicraft tour, we found ourselves in a restaurant where each dish was a work of art.

Behind the Scenes at HONOR's R&D Labs
During our visit to HONOR's research and development labs, I saw firsthand how much work goes into making features like this useful. It’s not just about cramming in more megapixels—it’s about how the phone processes what it sees.

HONOR's AI doesn’t just zoom; it compensates for shaky hands, adjusts for lighting, and enhances clarity where most phone cameras fail.
Then there’s the durability factor. At HONOR's 6,000-square-meter durability lab in Beijing, their devices go through rigorous testing—drop tests, extreme temperatures, and repeated button presses—to ensure they can survive real-world use. Seeing the testing process up close made me appreciate the effort that goes into building a phone that doesn’t just look good on paper but also holds up over time.
The AI enhancements don’t stop at zooming in. HONOR has developed an entire ecosystem of intelligent features designed to improve the overall experience of using a smartphone. Whether it’s optimizing battery life, enhancing security, or even making multitasking more efficient, the brand is invested in making their devices smarter, not just faster.
For someone like me, who’s not obsessed with every tiny technical detail but appreciates a phone that works seamlessly, this made a huge difference. It’s one thing to have great hardware, but when AI actively improves your experience—whether it’s in photography, daily usability, or longevity—that’s what sets a device apart.
The Verdict? A Mid-Range Phone That Feels Like More
I’m not a heavy tech reviewer, and I don’t dive deep into benchmarks and processing speeds. But I do know this: HONOR phones bring something better to the table—especially in the mid-range category. It’s not just about having impressive AI features; it’s about making sure those features work in everyday situations. And from what I’ve seen, the HONOR MagicPro 7 does exactly that.
The AI worked behind the scenes, reducing blur and keeping the subject sharp. It’s the kind of thing you don’t notice until you realize your photos are turning out better than usual.
The HONOR Magic7 Pro isn’t just a smartphone—it’s a leap forward for anyone who loves capturing moments in vivid detail. Whether you’re an avid traveler, a casual photographer, or just someone who wants a reliable device, this phone delivers beyond expectations.
