While market leaders have abandoned compact models, Honor plans to gather the few fans of small smartphones. The company has a well-thought-out plan — the smartphone should not be inferior to the "large" models in terms of characteristics. The plan is ambitious, but leaks suggest that the company is steadfastly moving towards its goal. Honor Magic8 Mini — a compact model expected in early 2026 is to receive the flagship Mediatek Dimensity 9500 processor.

Main characteristics of Magic8 Mini

• Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 9500
• Display: 6.31", resolution 1.5K; ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
