Frequently asked
How long will the Honor Magic 8 Pro be supported?
Honor officially promises seven years of Android OS upgrades and security updates for the Magic 8 Pro, dating from its November 2025 global launch. That puts end-of-support around November 2032 — among the longest commitments of any phone sold in Europe.
Can I buy the Honor Magic 8 Pro in the US?
Not officially. Honor sells it in China, the UK, Europe, and select Middle Eastern and Asian markets, but skipped an official US launch. US buyers rely on imported 'global version' units, which void manufacturer warranty support.
How powerful is the Razr Ultra 2025?
It runs a Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16GB of RAM, making it the fastest Razr flip Motorola has shipped.
Is it dust resistant unlike older Razrs?
Yes. It steps up to IP48, adding dust resistance that earlier Razr flips (IPX8 only) lacked.
