The standout feature that turns every head is the "Triple Lens Turret" — a classic 1+2 lens arrangement that's not just beautiful, but delivers a cinematic shooting experience from the very first moment light passes through the lens ✨

🎙️ Update, Sept 27: with the official Beijing launch event just days away (Monday, September 28, 2026), Honor is teasing more features — this time focused squarely on video.

First up is the "Cinematic Mic," which Honor claims records clear audio at both close and long range — teaser clips show everything from sizzling food to a coffee machine to fabric flapping in the distance, demoed by Han Han, whom Honor calls its "Imaging Innovator." Worth noting: this is brand-supplied promotional footage, not an independent test from us or the press.

On the color side, Honor has confirmed a full ARRI partnership, not just a vague "cinematic feel" claim — GSMArena and Android Central report ARRI Wide Gamut 3 (AWG3) for a wide color space, an ARRI LogC3 video pipeline, an official ARRI Look Library, and ARRI Picture Video (APV) for lossless, high-bitrate encoding.

The other accessory teased is a teleconverter lens that attaches to extend focal length and zoom further. Honor specifically highlights that the other two cameras stay unobstructed once it's attached — if it holds up in real use, that's a detail video shooters will appreciate.

Honor already announced standard Magic9 (16GB/512GB) pricing: CNY 6,499 regular, CNY 5,999 for the Magic series' 10th-anniversary special, and CNY 5,499 with China's national subsidy. Pro Max pricing is expected higher but won't be confirmed until the September 28 launch, and there's no word yet on Thai pricing or availability.
