Honor Magic 9 Pro Max Released with 200MP Camera and 8,600 mAh Battery

Honor has officially launched the Magic 9 Pro Max, featuring dual 200MP cameras and powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip and an 8,600 mAh battery.

According to Gizmochina on Monday (28/9) local time, the Magic 9 Pro Max features a 200MP main camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor and an f/1.57 aperture. This camera also includes CIPA 8.0 stabilisation and gimbal-like stabilisation capabilities of up to three degrees to help maintain image stability during movement.

The 200MP telephoto camera utilises a 1/1.4-inch sensor with an f/2.6 aperture. This camera also features CIPA 8.0 stabilisation and employs Honor’s AiMAGE sharpness engine. In addition to long-distance photography, the telephoto camera is designed for close-up object photography.

Both cameras are accompanied by a 50MP ultrawide camera with an f/2.0 aperture and a 3D depth sensor.

To assist with image processing, Honor has equipped the Magic 9 Pro Max with the H1 imaging chip, manufactured using a 6nm process. This chip offers efficiency of up to 18.8 TOPS/W and supports lossless noise reduction in RAW format.

Honor has introduced advanced camera technology through a partnership with professional camera company ARRI. Through this collaboration, the Magic 9 Pro Max features the ARRI LogC3 video pipeline, providing greater flexibility for colour grading during post-production.

Honor also provides 87 official ARRI Looks that can be applied to videos to produce various cinematic colour characters. Additionally, there is an ARCO Master Mode with several presets, including Venice and Southern Fujian.

Other features include ARRI Movie Live, which records video at a cinematic 2.39:1 aspect ratio. This mode continues to record for three seconds after the shutter button is pressed, allowing users to capture short sequences of movement rather than just a single frame.

The G500 can be paired with an 85mm telephoto lens to produce an equivalent focal length of 500mm. Meanwhile, the smaller G200 weighs 88 grams and produces an equivalent focal length of 200mm when paired with an 85mm lens. Both accessories are sold separately. Honor also provides a SmallRig professional video expansion kit that adds several mounts and connectors for professional video recording.

The Magic 9 Pro Max uses a 6.8-inch OLED screen with a peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits and supports an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz. The screen also supports PWM dimming up to 4,320Hz. Honor utilises a silicon nitride coating with 5,600 layers, which is claimed to make the screen more scratch-resistant and impact-resistant.

The phone’s body uses metallic materials and holds IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications for resistance against water and dust under specific testing conditions.

For security, Honor has equipped the device with 3D facial recognition and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

In terms of performance, the Magic 9 Pro Max uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, manufactured with a 2nm process. The chip features CPU speeds of up to 5GHz.

Honor also provides the phone with an 8,600mAh battery supporting 100W wired charging and 80W wireless charging. The device also supports 50W wireless charging in compatible vehicles.

In China, the Honor Magic 9 Pro Max is available in four memory configurations. The 12GB/256GB variant is priced at 6,499 yuan (approximately Rp17.3 million), while the 12GB/512GB variant is priced at 6,999 yuan (approximately Rp18.7 million). The 16GB/512GB variant reaches 7,499 yuan (approximately Rp20 million), while the highest variant with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage is priced at 8,499 yuan (approximately Rp22.7 million).
