Key Drawbacks of Honor Magic8

  • Hefty Weight: At 205 g, the device is relatively heavy, which may affect one-handed usage and long-term comfort.
  • Limited USB Version: Uses USB Type-C 2.0 instead of a faster USB 3.x standard, potentially limiting data transfer speeds.
  • No microSD Card Slot: Storage expansion is not possible, relying solely on internal storage options.
  • No 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Lacks a standard audio jack, requiring wireless or USB-C audio solutions.
  • No FM Radio: Built-in radio functionality is missing, which could matter to some users.
  • High PWM Frequency but Potential Eye Strain: Although the display uses 4320Hz PWM, which is high frequency, some users sensitive to PWM flicker might still experience discomfort.
  • Relatively Low Screen-to-Body Ratio: At around 90.6%, it is good but not leading in the flagship category where some competitors exceed 94%.
