Honor's next flagship that was teased ahead of launch
Honor's Robot Phone event gave us our first glimpse of the Magic9 series, teasing a redesigned camera plateau and a 200MP powered by Arri camera system.

Honor, at their Robot Phone launch event, which was steamed globally on YouTube, give us our first look at one of their next flagships in the Magic9 series.

Even though not much of the flagship is visible yet, you can see that the next flagship from Honor is moving away from the traditional large circle deco, instead opting for a round deco located on the left side of the back that sits on top of a metal plateau, similar to the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.

In the camera deco, Honor has offered us suggestions for what to expect from the Honor Magic9 cameras. A prominent Arri logo is visible on the left of the deco, alongside specs for what we assume is the telephoto camera : a 200MP 1/1.4 sensor, paired with an f/2.6 lens with OIS.

The phone is currently available for pre-order if you live in China, though it's non-binding. Honor has confirmed the Magic9 series will launch in September, after the Snapdragon Summit (September 22-24).
