HONOR may be preparing a red version of its Magic9 flagship series alongside a Photography Master Kit, according to leaker Digital Chat Station. The report does not identify whether the new finish is intended for the Magic9, Magic9 Pro Max or Magic9 Super Edition, and HONOR has not announced the color or kit.
The red option would expand a lineup introduced in yellow, white, black, green and silver. Digital Chat Station also claims the series has surpassed 500,000 units sold. Separately, HONOR said in October that the range was leading Android flagship sales for the 2026 generation through week 42.
The rumored kit would join an existing set of camera-focused Magic9 accessories. HONOR currently offers the following options for the Magic9 Pro Max and its telephoto imaging system:
- G200 teleconverter
- G500 teleconverter
- Professional grip for the Magic9 Pro Max
The Magic9 and Magic9 Pro Max each pair a 200 MP main camera with a 200 MP telephoto camera, with image processing developed alongside ARRI. The three models differ most clearly in display size and battery capacity.
| Model | Display | Battery |
|---|---|---|
| HONOR Magic9 | 6.37 inches | 8,000 mAh |
| HONOR Magic9 Pro Max | 6.8 inches | 8,800 mAh |
| HONOR Magic9 Super Edition | 6.81 inches | 11,000 mAh |
All three phones were introduced in China on September 28 and run MagicOS 11. HONOR’s European teasers have focused on the Magic9 Pro Max in 12 GB RAM configurations with 256 GB or 512 GB of storage, offered in Shadow Black, Moss Green and Glacier Silver. A European debut is expected in January 2027, but wider availability, pricing, the red finish and the Photography Master Kit remain unconfirmed.
