Overview
- The Magic9 Pro Max launched in China and went on sale Monday, September 28, 2026, with a base price of CNY 6,499 and Honor saying it will later roll out to Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia without firm dates.
- Honor worked with ARRI to add cinema-grade capture, including ARRI LogC3 recording, 14 preset ARRI Look LUTs, access to ARRI’s LUT library, APV 10-bit 4:2:2 codec support, and ARRI Wide Gamut 3 color space to simplify color grading in post production.
- The phone packs flagship imaging hardware: two 200MP rear sensors (a 1/1.28" main and a 1/1.4" periscope telephoto with about 3.5x optical zoom) plus a 50MP ultrawide, with gimbal-level stabilization on the main and periscope units.
- Under the hood it uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 together with Honor’s H1 imaging chip, offers up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, and emphasizes endurance with an 8,800mAh Si‑C battery, 100W wired and 80W wireless charging, a very bright LTPO OLED, and IP68/IP69/IP69K ratings.
- Honor is selling optional filmmaking accessories such as teleconverters and a SmallRig mobile video kit to extend the phone as a production tool, and the launch continues Honor’s recent push to position its phones for professional video work while leaving U.S. availability uncertain.
