Honor has confirmed that the Magic 9 series, which it will unveil on September 28, will include the standard model, Magic 9 Pro Max and Magic 9 Super Edition. The series will use a battery with a capacity of 11,000 mAh; while the company did not specify the model, previous information points to the Magic 9 Super Edition. Magic 9 Pro Max will be available in Black, Silver and Olive Green, with configurations offering up to 16 GB RAM and 1 TB of storage. The rear camera module with large, circular sensors will be retained. Magic 9 will offer the same memory configurations and a Popcorn Yellow option in addition to these three colors. Its rear camera layout will resemble that of the Pro Max, but the circles surrounding the sensors will be smaller. The images also show that Magic 9 will feature an ARRI camera collaboration.
Why it matters
The three-model lineup shows that Honor is not limiting differentiation within the series to standard and Pro options, but is adding another tier with the Super Edition. The fact that the standard model and Pro Max reach the same maximum RAM and storage capacities puts greater emphasis on battery, camera and design differences when choosing between them. However, the lack of information about which model will use the 11,000 mAh battery leaves one of the most fundamental distinctions between the models unclear. The ARRI collaboration gives the standard model a distinct camera identity, but it is not yet known how this will be reflected in its imaging capabilities. While the similar rear camera layout establishes a shared design language across the series, the color options are among the main elements that visually distinguish the models.
