Honor Magic 8 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro – If you are one of those who thinks Apple iPhone 17 Pro smartphone is the current best smartphone in the market and there is no comparison to other smartphones, then you should know about Honor Magic 8 Pro smartphone, which was recently launched in China on October 15, 2025. I have compared both smartphones based on their camera setup, battery pack and charging speed, display, and most importantly their price, that will burst your myth that iPhone 17 Pro smartphone is the current most powerful phone.
Camera Setup
When it comes to camera setup, then there is no doubt Apple iPhone 17 Pro smartphone provides you industry-leading videos and photos with its triple 48 MP camera setup in the rear section, whereas in front you get an 18 MP selfie camera with Centre Stage feature that also works fine.

Battery Pack
Simultaneously, where Apple iPhone 17 Pro phone features only a 4252 mAh battery pack that hardly gives you a battery backup of up to one day and you can charge this smartphone with 40W fast charging and 30W wireless charging support, there Honor Magic 8 Pro smartphone features a larger 7200 mAh battery pack for the China model and 7100 mAh battery pack for the global versions, and it supports 120W fast charging and 80W wireless charging.
Display

On the other hand, Apple iPhone 17 Pro smartphone is powered by Apple A19 Pro chipset, which is also powerful, but it is more likely for professional tasks and multitasking.
