Honor’s Magic9 Pro Max Brings ARRI Cinema Tools to a Smartphone

ARRI’s LogC3 plus Wide Gamut 3 enable 10‑bit 4K60 log capture with on‑device ARRI Looks for instant preview.

Overview

  • Honor announced a formal partnership with ARRI and review units are in the hands of outlets that confirm ARRI’s imaging pipeline is built into the Magic9 Pro Max.
  • The phone pairs two 200MP imagers with a 50MP ultra‑wide lens and can record 10‑bit 4:2:2 video in ARRI LogC3 up to 4K at 60fps.
  • Honor ships the device with ARRI Looks preloaded and supports thousands of third‑party LUTs so users can preview graded looks while filming.
  • Honor says the phone offers gimbal‑equivalent stabilization even in low light, but reviewers have published samples and unboxings without long‑term independent verification of that claim.
  • The Magic9 Pro Max adopts an ARRI‑inspired camera design with a dedicated camera control key, a Moss Green review unit includes a green silicone case and a 100W USB‑A charger, and the device aims to make pro workflows easier while still relying on external grading for studio results.
