Honor is preparing to unveil the Magic 9 series on 28 September. According to CEO Li Jian, the regular price of the model with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage in China will be 6,499 yuan (47,450 TL). With the tenth-anniversary discount, the price could fall to 5,999 yuan (43,800 TL), and to as low as 5,499 yuan (40,150 TL) through the national support program.
- Vivo X500: 12 GB RAM, 512 GB storage; 5,999 yuan (43,800 TL). There is no 16 GB option.
- Vivo X500 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro: 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage; 7,999 yuan (58,400 TL).
- Oppo Find X10: 6,499 yuan (47,450 TL).
The phone’s full details have not yet been confirmed, but it is expected to feature a 6.37-inch LTPS OLED display, a resolution of 1236 x 2664 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform.
Why it matters
The Magic 9’s pricing shows where a model offering 16 GB RAM and 512 GB of storage is positioned relative to its competitors in China. The device, which remains at the level of the Oppo Find X10 at its regular price, is positioned below the Vivo X500 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro, while the discounts make the gap even larger. However, since the tenth-anniversary discount and the national support program do not apply under the same conditions, these figures do not represent a directly comparable cost for all buyers. Therefore, the key open question is what hardware and user experience will support the price advantage once the expected display and processor specifications are confirmed, as well as whether the announced options will change after the launch.
