Buying advice for Algeria

Both Honor Magic8 Pro and Honor Magic8 Pro Air are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Honor Magic8 Pro Air is 26% cheaper at 191,760 DZD versus 260,000 DZD for the Honor Magic8 Pro, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Honor Magic8 Pro packs a 7100 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Honor Magic8 Pro posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.

Honor Magic8 Pro reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 200 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.

Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
