This model is characterized by a "squircle" camera module that appears to accommodate three sensors. According to various rumors, the Magic8 RSR is expected to include a 200MP periscope telephoto lens with an f/2.6 aperture and an 85mm focal length, in addition to the 50MP main camera equipped with a 1-inch type sensor. The third module is likely to feature an ultrawide lens.
Furthermore, the Magic8 RSR is anticipated to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite chip, with up to 24GB of RAM. It is said to house a robust 7,200mAh battery with 120W fast charging capabilities, and the official launch is rumored for January 19 in China.
