The first wave of Snapdragon 8 Elites are now available, but only in China for now. Two of them are Honor’s Magic7 and Magic7 Pro, which landed in the company’s domestic market at the end of October. Unfortunately, Honor has yet to confirm when it plans to replace the Magic6 Pro (currently $860 at Amazon) internationally.
However, it is already possible to import Honor’s two new flagships at competitive prices, thanks to companies such as Giztop and TradingShenzhen. As is often the case, the former is cheaper than the latter when you import the Magic7 Pro to the United States. That said, importing through TradingShenzhen may be suitable for other markets like the Eurozone.
Please note that TradingShenzhen only sells the Magic7 Pro, which starts at $1,019 with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The device can also be configured with two other memory combinations, resulting in a 16GB RAM and 1TB SKU that costs $1,193. In contrast, Giztop offers the Magic7 Pro starting at $999, but that price increases to $1,169 with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
As for the Magic7, it is priced at $769, still with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage space. However, it can also be configured with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for $959. Please note that there are some restrictions when importing a device from either company. For example, the Magic7 and Magic7 Pro will ship with Chinese versions of MagicUI. Therefore, Android Auto and some banking operations will not work, even if Google Mobile Services and Google Play Store are pre-installed.
