Honor’s upcoming Magic9 Pro Max may make video creation a central part of its pitch. Details shared on Weibo point to a cinema-oriented feature set that combines a dedicated microphone, ARRI color technology and an attachable telephoto accessory. Honor is scheduled to unveil the Magic9 series on September 28.
- A so-called cinematic microphone is said to capture clearer audio across different distances while separating finer sounds from surrounding background noise.
- The phone’s camera is expected to use ARRI color profiles and color science, aiming to give footage a more cinematic look directly from the handset.
- A telephoto accessory is expected to attach to the rear camera system. The camera module is reportedly designed so the add-on does not obstruct the other two cameras.
The reported features remain unconfirmed, including how the microphone will work in practice, the telephoto accessory’s specifications and which Magic9 Pro Max configurations will support it. Global pricing and availability have also yet to be detailed.
