On Nov. 23, Honor is set to unveil the Honor 100 and 100 Pro in China. Following the announcement of the 100 series, the company will shift its focus toward the Magic 6 series of flagship phones, which is expected to debut in the first quarter of 2024. A new leak reveals that the Magic 6 lineup will feature a one-inch camera sensor, though it won’t be from Sony; instead, it will be sourced from another brand.
Honor Magic 6 series to flaunt OV50K OmniVision camera
According to tech blogger and leaker Digital Chat Station, Honor is set to introduce the OmniVision OV50K one-inch main camera. There is strong speculation that this new camera will be featured in the upcoming Honor Magic 6, possibly starting with the Honor Magic 6.
In the world of smartphone camera sensors, the most formidable contender currently is Sony’s one-inch flagship sensor IMX989, utilized in some flagship camera models by Xiaomi and other manufacturers. It will be soon replaced by the Sony Lytia LYT-900, another one-inch camera sensor, which is likely to make its way on upcoming flagship phones, such as the Oppo Find X7 Pro, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and the Vivo X100 Pro+.
Honor’s Magic series has gained recognition for delivering exceptional performance, with models like the Magic 5 Pro and Magic 4 Ultimate consistently achieving top rankings in DxOMark photography benchmarks. The Magic 6 series, which is now tipped to feature the OV50K one-inch camera sensor, is also expected to offer a stellar photography and videography experience.
Recent flagship models like Xiaomi 14 and iQOO 12 have opted for OmniVision sensors in their primary cameras. This trend suggests a potential shift in the industry, with an increasing number of brands leaning towards adopting OmniVision camera sensors over the traditionally favored Sony sensors.
Returning to the Magic 6 series, a recent report revealed that it will come with support for satellite communication connectivity. The entire lineup may feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It is speculated that the Magic 6 series may debut by the first week of February in China.
