HONOR’s new generation flagship Magic 9 series and the new MagicOS 11 system are expected to be officially launched at the end of this month. As the release date approaches, new leaks have leaked online. This time, three different sources confirmed each other, revealing that the new machine will undergo major upgrades in the fields of heat dissipation and imaging, including a built-in active cooling fan and a dual 200-megapixel ARRI co-branded imaging system. The specifications have attracted much attention.
In terms of appearance design, it is reported that the HONOR Magic 9 series will provide a variety of fashionable color options including “popped beige”, “opening”, “curtain black” and “olive green”, and the overall visual quality will be greatly improved. It is worth noting that the front lens cutout of the fuselage will usher in a breakthrough, equipped with the first 1:1 square front lens design in the Android camp, bringing a more recognizable frontal visual experience. As for the detailed parameters such as the specific size and resolution of the screen, they are yet to be officially announced later.
In terms of core specifications, according to Weibo bloggers @digitalchatstation and @fixfocusdigital, the Magic 9 flagship line will have built-in active cooling fans for the first time to ensure performance under high-load operation. The imaging system is the biggest highlight of this generation. It is equipped with a dual 200-megapixel ARRI co-branded lens combination and introduces the ARRI professional color system. In addition, it is also officially equipped with the Magic9 Pro Max professional image grip and two sets of external teleconverters, G500 and G200. The 200mm version is the industry’s lightest solution, while the 500mm version provides the industry’s longest focal length, which greatly enhances telephoto capabilities.
In terms of release information, the HONOR Magic 9 series is expected to be released simultaneously with MagicOS 11 at the end of this month. At present, the official has not announced the exact specifications, sales schedule and pricing information, and the specific listing information in Hong Kong has yet to be officially announced later. Interested readers should continue to pay attention to the latest reports.
Mobile Magazine’s short review: With built-in fan + professional handle + 500mm teleconverter, Magic 9 is obviously designed for concert shooting scenes. If the double 200 million ARRI images are true, it will be the most advanced image specifications in its class.
