Honor teams up with Telesin on Camera Grip Kit for Magic 8 Pro

13 February 2026 at 10:05

A new accessory kit developed in collaboration with accessory maker Telesin is designed specifically for the Honor Magic 8 Pro, turning the flagship into something that feels closer to a compact camera. While the Porsche Design variant already has its own official kit, the Magic 8 Pro didn’t. This new β€œProfessional Photography Grip Kit” fills that gap.

The Magic 8 Pro already has solid camera hardware. It features a 200MP periscope telephoto sensor and a 50MP main camera with a bright f/1.6 aperture. On paper, it’s more than capable. What this kit changes is how you interact with it.

The kit starts with a custom protective case that supports standard 67mm screw-on filters. That means users can attach ND filters, polarizers, and other accessories typically reserved for dedicated cameras. There’s also a mounting point for a wrist strap and magnetic support for quick attachments.

The more interesting piece is the detachable grip. It magnetically snaps onto the case and adds physical controls, including a prominent red shutter button, a zoom slider, and additional shortcut keys. One button handles quick video recording, while another can act as a power switch or programmable function key. A front dial allows for exposure adjustments or other manual tweaks. It’s clearly aimed at users who prefer tactile controls instead of tapping a screen.

The package also includes a 200mm teleconverter lens attachment. It connects via an adapter ring and effectively increases the phone’s optical reach. Combined with the Magic 8 Pro’s existing periscope camera, it should help with distant subjects like wildlife or sports.

As with most clip-on or add-on lenses, real-world performance will depend on alignment and optical quality. But in theory, this gives the phone a bit more versatility than stock hardware alone.

Honor and Telesin have been teasing the kit ahead of a full reveal at Mobile World Congress 2026, where pricing and broader availability are expected to be confirmed.

For Magic 8 Pro users who want more control without carrying a separate camera, this kit could make sense. For everyone else, it’s at least a reminder that smartphone photography still has room to evolve beyond just bigger sensors and software processing.
