The Esports World Cup Foundation has announced the return of HONOR as the Official Smartphone Partner for the Esports World Cup 2025, marking a renewed commitment from the global tech brand to push the boundaries of mobile gaming. Following a successful partnership at last year’s event, HONOR is set to redefine competitive mobile play once again with its newest innovation, the HONOR Magic7 Pro.
At the 2024 edition of the Esports World Cup, HONOR made waves by equipping athletes and content creators with its AI driven HONOR 200 series, which allowed for seamless gameplay and high quality content creation. Branded lounges and interactive fan areas gave attendees firsthand access to HONOR’s tech ecosystem. Building on that momentum, this year HONOR introduces the Magic7 Pro, a device designed with professional gaming performance at its core.
The HONOR Magic7 Pro will serve as the official tournament device for high profile mobile esports titles including Honor of Kings, PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Free Fire. These games will be played by elite esports athletes from across the world, with players competing for a combined prize pool of over 10 million dollars on HONOR’s latest flagship smartphone.
Engineered specifically for esports, the Magic7 Pro combines advanced hardware and intelligent software to elevate the gaming experience. With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, an ultra efficient cooling system, and a dynamic refresh rate that adapts between 1 to 120Hz, the device is built for peak, sustained performance. Its AI Real Time Rendering engine delivers console grade graphics on mobile, while the AI Predictive Scheduling system optimizes processing load in real time to keep gameplay smooth and uninterrupted. Eye comfort features, stereo audio with spatial depth, and a resilient build rated IP68 and IP69 make it a complete battle ready package.
Leaders from both organizations emphasized the alignment between HONOR’s innovation and the global stage of competitive gaming. Dr. Rui Guo, CMO of HONOR Device Co., expressed confidence in the brand’s ability to power top tier competition. According to him, HONOR’s aim is not just to deliver technology, but to help gamers push their boundaries and achieve greatness. Officials from the Esports World Cup echoed this sentiment, highlighting how HONOR’s mobile performance tools allow players to unlock new levels of precision, focus, and immersion in high stakes environments.
In addition to supporting players, HONOR’s presence at the event will include immersive experiences for fans. Visitors can expect hands on demos, themed zones, and tech showcases that reflect the future of mobile gaming. The goal is to bridge the player fan gap and allow every attendee to experience professional grade gaming firsthand.
Returning to Riyadh from July 7 to August 24, the Esports World Cup 2025 promises to be the largest competitive gaming event in the world, featuring 25 tournaments, 200 clubs, and 2,000 athletes from over 100 nations. With over 70 million dollars in prize money, live music, cosplay, anime cafés, and retro arcades, the tournament will attract millions of fans both onsite and online.
HONOR’s renewed partnership not only brings world class technology to the competition but also reflects its larger vision of shaping the future of mobile gaming culture. With Saudi Arabia emerging as a central hub for global esports, this collaboration underscores how tech innovation and gaming excellence are becoming increasingly interconnected.
