Honor is preparing to launch its next flagship smartphone family in China later this month, and a new leak has detailed the expected lineup.
According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the Magic 9 series will include three models: the standard Magic 9, the Magic 9 Pro Max, and a Magic 9 Super Power Edition.
Leaked specifications for each model
The standard Magic 9 is tipped to feature a 6.37-inch display, an 8,000mAh battery, and dual 200-megapixel ARRI cameras.
It may also include a single 3D facial recognition system and run on last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
Tipster Digital Chat Station adds that the camera setup will include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, with one of the 200-megapixel sensors being a 1/1.56-inch periscope telephoto.
For security, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor is expected.
Another tipster claims the Magic 9’s screen bezels are slightly narrower than those of the Pro Max, which has 0.98mm bezels.
The phone is said to have a unibody cold-carved glass design.
The Magic 9 Pro Max is expected to step up with a 6.8-inch display, an 8,800mAh battery, and dual 200-megapixel ARRI cameras.
It could also feature dual 3D facial recognition sensors in a 1:1 layout, while the all-new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 is expected to handle processing.
In terms of design, the Pro Max has a unibody metal design and narrow 0.98mm bezels.
It will also have a Black Diamond screen, which offers deeper blacks and a brighter, clearer viewing experience, while the standard Magic 9 does not have this display technology.
The Honor Magic 9 Super Power Edition is aimed more heavily at performance.
It could come with a 6.8-inch glass-fiber body, an 11,000mAh battery, a 165Hz display, and active cooling.
Its camera setup is said to include a 50-megapixel sensor alongside a 12-megapixel and another 50-megapixel camera, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 could power the phone.
The Magic 9 Super Edition is different from the gaming and performance-focused Win series, as it comes with a telephoto lens and a larger battery than the Win series.
