EnglishWhat Are HONOR Mobile Phones and How Do the Main Series Differ?
Updated
HONOR mobile phones are the smartphone lineup sold under the HONOR brand, separate from the company's laptops, tablets, and wearables. On the official HONOR global site, the phones are grouped into four main series — Magic, N, X, and Play — plus limited editions. The series name is the quickest signal of positioning: Magic sits at the top as the flagship line, N targets the mid-range, and X and Play cover more budget-oriented buyers. Model names and availability vary by region and change often, so confirm the current lineup on the official site before deciding.
The Four Main Phone Series
The official site organizes phones under a "Phones" menu with these series headings:
| Series | Typical positioning | Examples listed on the site |
|---|---|---|
| Magic | Flagship and premium | HONOR Magic8 Pro, Magic7 Pro, Magic V5, Magic V6 |
| N | Mid-range | HONOR N Series (series page) |
| X | Budget to mid-range | HONOR X9e Pro, X9e s, X7e Plus |
| Play | Entry-level | HONOR Play20A, Play20C |
Magic: flagship and foldable
Magic is where HONOR puts its top-tier devices. The site lists both bar phones (Magic8 Pro, Magic7 Pro) and foldables (Magic V5, Magic V6). It also includes a Porsche Design collaboration model, the PORSCHE DESIGN | HONOR Magic7 RSR, which sits above the standard flagship in positioning. If you want the newest features and the highest tier, this is the series to start with.
N: mid-range
The N Series appears as its own line on the site. It sits between the flagship Magic phones and the more affordable X and Play models, which makes it the middle option when flagship pricing is more than you need but you still want a step up from entry-level.
X: budget to mid-range
The X Series carries several current models — X9e Pro, X9e s, and X7e Plus are listed as new. This line is the practical choice when price matters more than top-end specs.
Play: entry-level
Play models (Play20A, Play20C) are the most affordable phones shown. They suit basic daily use rather than demanding tasks.
Special Editions and the Robot Phone
Beyond the four series, the site lists a HONOR Robot Phone and a HONOR 600 Pro MOLLY Limited Edition. These are separate from the standard series structure, so treat them as one-off or experimental products rather than a line you can reliably shop within. The Robot Phone in particular appears as a distinct "New" product category on the site.
How to Compare Current Models Before Choosing
Because the lineup changes frequently and differs by region, use the official site as the source of truth:
- Open the official HONOR global site and go to the Phones section.
- Pick the series that matches your budget tier (Magic for flagship, N for mid-range, X or Play for budget).
- Use the "Compare" links shown next to each series to view models side by side.
- Check the "New" labels to see which models are the latest in that series.
The site's navigation lists "Compare" next to each product group, so you can evaluate models within a series without leaving the page.
What to Keep in Mind
- Series names are a guide, not a spec sheet. The site groups phones by series but does not publish detailed specifications in the navigation itself; open individual product pages for that.
- Availability varies by region. A model shown on the global site may not be sold in every country.
- The lineup moves fast. Many models carry "New" tags, and older ones drop off the list, so re-check before buying.
- Phones are only one product family. HONOR also sells laptops (MagicBook, WIN), tablets (MagicPad, Pad), and wearables (Watch, Band), which are listed separately and should not be confused with the mobile lineup.
