The countdown has begun for the arrival of the Honor Magic 8 Ultra after it received a new official certification, bringing the launch of Honor's most anticipated phone of the year closer. The upcoming phone will offer 120W fast charging, along with a host of advanced specifications that make it a direct competitor to the most powerful flagship phones.
The phone has been the subject of numerous leaks in recent weeks, and with this new certification, it's clear that its release is just a matter of time. The well-known leaker DigitalChatStation revealed that the phone appeared in the Chinese 3C certification listings under the model number BKQ-AN20, confirming support for 120W super-fast charging, just like the Magic 8 Pro.

According to reports, this version is likely the Magic 8 Ultra, especially given the rumors about the absence of an RSR version in the Magic 8 series this year. Furthermore, leaked data indicates that the device will support satellite connectivity in addition to 5G networks, and may even offer dual satellite connectivity for higher reliability in areas without terrestrial network coverage.
The flagship smartphone market is gearing up for a fierce battle between Honor's new phone and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, as Honor prepares to directly compete with Xiaomi in the ultra-high-end smartphone segment. Sources indicate that the official announcement of the Magic 8 Ultra might come after Xiaomi's launch, but leaks suggest that waiting will be worthwhile.
