Honor has long boasted that its smartphones offer a particularly wide range of features for protecting the eyes. The Magic8 Pro now goes one step further and offers its own settings menu for an optimal viewing experience. We provide you with an overview.
Honor war einer der ersten Hersteller, der seinerzeit auf ein OLED-Display mit hochfrequentem PWM-Dimming setzte und hat dies bei seinen Smartphones seitdem beibehalten. Sicherlich ist dies nicht alles, um ein optimales Seherlebnis zu ermöglichen, doch Honor geht mehrere Schritte weiter und liefert ein Paket, um sein Display möglichst augenfreundlich zu gestalten und ist unter anderem vom TÜV Rheinland zertifiziert.
The central point of contact in the Honor Magic8 Pro system is the “Honor Eye Comfort Display” menu item, where all additional functions can be controlled directly. In addition to high-frequency PWM dimming, which can be operated at both 3,840 Hz and 4,320 Hz at low display brightness, there are also common functions such as “Natural Tone,” which adjusts the screen colors to the ambient light. This results in a warmer display, as the proportion of blue light is reduced. The “Circadian Night Display” works in a similar way, designed to reduce the suppression of sleep hormones in the evening. There is also a configurable Dark Mode so that the display shows content in a darker tone in the evening, which most other Android smartphones also offer.
On the hardware side, the Honor Magic8 Pro also has a circularly polarized display. With the help of special optical layers, the emitted light is converted into circularly polarized light. This reduces annoying reflections on the display surface and further relieves strain on the eyes.
Another Honor-specific feature is “Defocus Eyecare” which simulates looking into the distance to relieve eye strain and supports over 2,000 apps. The Magic8 Pro can also alleviate motion sickness caused by traveling in a vehicle. Colored balls are displayed at the edge of the screen, which move with the acceleration of the vehicle. This is intended to reduce potential dizziness or nausea. In practice, this has worked surprisingly well.
In addition, a contrast test and a color vision test are integrated into the system so that the appropriate settings can be made automatically if necessary.
However, all these features do not change the fact that responsible use of your own screen time is most important.

As a child I was fascinated by my Commodore 16, and this sparked my enthusiasm for computers. Using my first modem, I surfed the BTX videotext system and later the World Wide Web. I have always been captivated by the latest technologies, and this is especially true for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. I’ve been part of the Notebookcheck team since 2013 and have also on occasion written for Notebookinfo.de, and I’m looking forward to testing new innovations for our readers. I like to spend my spare time indulging in photography and barbecues and being with my family.
