How to Participate

Joining the “Chase Your Light” competition is designed to be simple. HONOR users are encouraged to begin by selecting the “HONOR” watermark when capturing their photograph, ensuring their entry reflects the spirit of the campaign.

They should then focus on creating a photo that stands out, while sharing the story or inspiration behind it, giving each image a personal touch. Once the photo is ready, participants can upload it to their social media platform of choice, including Instagram, X, TikTok, or Facebook.

To complete their entry, they need to tag @HonorArabia and @HIPA.ae, and include the hashtags #ByHONOR , #ChaseYourLight and #HIPAae. This process ensures that every submission is visible to the judges and part of the ongoing community of participants, with weekly highlights and final winners selected to celebrate creativity, originality, and storytelling.

About the “Chase Your Light” Campaign

The “Chase Your Light” campaign was launched to celebrate the introduction of the HONOR Magic 8 Pro, a smartphone designed to master the art of night photography. The campaign first captivated audiences with a hero film that highlighted the beauty of light while showcasing the power of creativity and personal expression.

Building on this, HONOR hosted an interactive workshop that provided photography enthusiasts with expert guidance, practical tips, and creative insights to help them craft standout images.

Now, the campaign enters its next and most engaging phase: the competition. This stage invites everyone to experiment with light and perspective to create images that are not only visually stunning but also deeply personal. Through this phase, HONOR continues its mission to empower creators, combining technology, inspiration, and opportunity into a campaign that celebrates imagination and exploration.

200MP AI Ultra Night Telephoto Camera: A Breakthrough Design for Powerful Night Photography

The HONOR Magic8 Pro is engineered from the ground up for low-light shooting, led by its breakthrough 200MP[1] AI Ultra Night Telephoto camera, which is the most advanced telephoto system HONOR has ever created. With a large sensor and advanced stabilization, it captures distant city lights, textured buildings, and quiet night moments with impressive clarity. The addition of the AI Ultra Night Portrait camera ensures that people, not just scenes, look stunning after dark, delivering crisp detail and balanced highlights.

Furthermore, the 200MP Ultra Night Telephoto achieves the industry-leading CIPA 5.5-level with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). This significantly minimizes motion blur caused by handshake during the shooting process. With 100x AI Super Zoom[2], the Magic8 Pro captures glowing streets, landmark silhouettes, and shimmering reflections with sharp detail turning distant night scenes into vivid, beautiful images.

For an easy access, HONOR Magic8 Pro introduces a dedicated physical AI Button, positioned independently from the power key, designed to provide instant, one-touch access to both photography and core AI functions. By default, a double press is mapped to instantly launch the Camera.
