Honor Magic 9 Pro Max specs and features
As we have covered previously, the Honor Magic 9 Pro Max is positioned as the brand’s top-of-the-line flagship with a greater emphasis on mobile filmmaking.
Based on the Hong Kong version, the device features a 6.8-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 10,000 nits peak brightness and 4320Hz PWM dimming. Under the hood, it runs on Qualcomm’s 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip.
The biggest highlight is its ARRI co-engineered camera system, which features two 200MP rear cameras. The main camera uses a 1/1.28-inch sensor with an f/1.57 aperture and gimbal-level optical image stabilisation, while the 200MP periscope telephoto camera offers 3.5x optical zoom. There’s also a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 55MP front-facing selfie shooter.
Beyond the camera hardware, Honor has worked with ARRI to incorporate its cinema colour science, including an ARRI LogC3 video processing pipeline and 87 official ARRI Looks. The device also supports three-second cinematic Live Photos in 4K resolution and an ultra-wide 2.39:1 cinematic aspect ratio.
For users who want to take their mobile filmmaking further, Honor also offers optional G200 and G500 teleconverter lenses with 200mm and 500mm equivalent focal lengths respectively, as well as a professional video cage developed with SmallRig.
In the battery department, the Hong Kong version packs a massive 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery that supports 100W wired and 80W wireless fast charging. As a comparison, the mainland China version gets an even larger 8,800mAh battery.
Other features include a dedicated H1 imaging chip, directional microphones, stereo speakers and IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance.
