It houses a four-degree-of-freedom titanium alloy gimbal that stays hidden inside the chassis and extends in 0.8 seconds when the camera activates, then rotates a full 360 degrees to track a moving subject automatically.
Honor built it in partnership with ARRI, the German cinema equipment maker, adding Log-C video recording and professional LUT color grading tools that are normally reserved for dedicated film cameras.
The camera setup includes a 200MP main sensor mounted on that gimbal, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 200MP periscope telephoto, all running through Honor's in-house Yuguang H1 imaging chip.
It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a 6.31-inch LTPO display reaching 6,800 nits of peak brightness, and a 7,060mAh battery with 120W charging.
It starts at 9,999 yuan in China, around $1,480, for the 12GB/512GB model.
Honor has confirmed there's no global version planned for this first generation, so buying one currently means importing from China.
Which Honor Phone Should You Buy?
The Magic 8 Pro makes the most sense if you want the longest zoom range and the biggest battery in Honor's current flagship lineup.
The Magic V6 is a better fit if durability is a priority in a foldable.
For a mid-range option, the Honor 600 Pro offers long-range zoom and a large battery without the price of an Ultra flagship.
The Honor X80i is worth considering if you care more about display quality and drop protection on a budget.
And if you want something completely different, the Robot Phone's moving gimbal camera makes it the most unusual phone in Honor's lineup.
