Anonymous
Honor’s Magic 9 series is launching in China with the standard Magic 9 and higher-end Pro Max among its models; Honor says an international release is planned, but has not given dates. The standard Magic 9 is listed at 5,999 yuan for 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, with a government subsidy reducing the price to 5,499 yuan. Its announced and reported features include a 6.37-inch display, dual 200-megapixel main and telephoto cameras, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, and an 8,000mAh battery. The Pro Max pairs dual 200-megapixel rear cameras with ARRI video features, including LogC3 recording and LUT support, and an 8,800mAh battery. Leaked specifications for the lineup also point to large displays, fast charging and Snapdragon processors, though some details may vary by model.

The Pro Max’s camera island has a knurled design inspired by the Arriflex 35, a camera introduced in 1937. Its ARRI tools include 14 preset Look LUTs, access to a wider library of official and third-party LUTs, and support for the APV 10-bit 4:2:2 codec.

The standard Magic 9 is reported to include a 55-megapixel square-format selfie camera, which Honor describes as Android’s first; its front camera can capture in either landscape or portrait orientation.

The leaked specifications say the standard Magic 9 has a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, dedicated AI and camera-shutter buttons, and IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings.

Honor lists the standard Magic 9 in four colors: Explosive Rice White, Curtain Black, Opening White, and Olive Green. After subsidy, its 5,499-yuan price matches the listed starting price of the Find X10 and Vivo X500, while offering twice their base storage and more RAM.
