ONE of Samsung’s biggest Android rivals has kicked off 2025 with an all-new budget smartphone with a battery like no other.
Honor has revealed the Magic7 Lite and claims it can last up to three days on a single charge.
On paper, the Magic7 Lite’s battery is bigger than many others you’ll find on the market in the UK currently.
It measures 6,600 mAh – for comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s battery is 4,855 mAh and the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s is 4,685 mAh.
It has also been designed to withstand extreme temperatures, capable of operating down to -30°C and up to 55°C.
Elsewhere on the all-important battery front, Honor claims the device uses intelligent AI to maintain continuous calls for up to 50 minutes when the battery drops to just 2%.
And it also supports 60W fast charging.
The Chinese company also offers other improvements, such as improved anti-drop and ultra-bounce technology, claiming that the new phone can survive drops of up to two meters.
Magic7 Lite features a bright and shiny 6.78-inch OLED display, along with a camera system with 108-megapixel sensor.
It weighs 189g and measures 7.98mm thick.
Two color options are available: Titanium Purple and Titanium Black.
“We are excited to start 2025 with a bang by bringing a new benchmark in style, durability and performance to European markets with the Magic7 Lite,” said Bond Zhang, CEO of Honor UK&I.
“We are particularly excited to be able to offer our customers an ultra-durable, AI-powered device with 3-day battery life and premium photography capabilities at a mid-range price. »
Despite all the premium features, the Magic7 Lite costs £399 when it releases on January 15.
