The use of a square-shaped front camera is one of the most prominent\ndesign updates in the Magic9 series. Honor has also partnered with ARRI,\na company renowned in the camera and cinematography industry, to develop\nthe Magic9 Series camera system.<\/p>\n
Honor stated that the series will feature a cinematic camera system\nwith ARCC Cinema Mode. This feature supports various video production\ntools such as LogC3, peak focusing, and false colour monitoring.

Meanwhile, the Magic9 Pro Max is expected to use a screen of\napproximately 6.8 inches with LTPO technology and a 120Hz refresh rate.\nThese specifications are still based on leaker reports and have not been\nfully confirmed by Honor.<\/p>\n
Performance with Snapdragon 8 Elite<\/p>\n
In terms of performance, the Magic9 is said to use the Snapdragon 8\nElite Gen 5, while the Magic9 Pro Max is expected to feature the\nSnapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.
