Designed for users seeking advanced features without compromising affordability, these devices showcase Honor’s commitment to innovation, style, and functionality, with particular relevance to the dynamic and fast-evolving South African tech landscape.
The Honor Earbuds Open are crafted with a crescent-shaped ergonomic design made from food-grade silicone, ensuring comfort even during extended use. Their durability is enhanced with a nickel-titanium memory alloy C-bridge, making them ideal for daily wear, especially in active South African lifestyles. These earbuds deliver immersive sound through 16mm multi-magnetic circuit dynamic drivers paired with titanium-plated dome tweeters, providing crystal-clear audio that elevates every listening experience. This is particularly appealing to South African music enthusiasts who enjoy genres from amapiano to house music, where sound clarity is key.
A standout feature is the AI-powered real-time bilingual translation, perfect for South Africa’s multilingual environment, breaking language barriers effortlessly. The triple-microphone hybrid active noise cancellation system ensures clear call quality, even in bustling urban areas like Johannesburg or Cape Town, while minimising sound leakage for added privacy. Seamless connectivity is guaranteed with Bluetooth 5.2, supporting dual-device pairing and intuitive touch controls for easy operation. The battery life is equally impressive, offering up to 6 hours of playback on a single charge and extending to 22 hours with the charging case, complemented by fast charging capabilities—ideal for the on-the-go lifestyle common among young South African professionals. Available in Polar Gold and Polar Black, these earbuds blend cutting-edge technology with sleek design, making them both functional and stylish.

It features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering vibrant visuals and smooth interactions, perfect for streaming content on platforms like Showmax or YouTube. The device is IP64-rated for durability, providing resistance against dust and water, which is ideal for the diverse South African climate.
Powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, the Magic 7 Lite offers robust performance supported by 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage, ensuring smooth multitasking—whether you’re managing work apps or gaming on the go. Its 108MP main camera with a large sensor captures stunning, high-quality photos, perfect for documenting South Africa’s breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cityscapes. The device boasts a massive 6,600mAh battery with 66W fast charging, ensuring you stay connected throughout the day without frequent recharges, a feature highly valued in regions with load shedding.
