The rumor mill is actively leaking details about next-generation flagship phones, such as the Xiaomi 18 series, Vivo X500 series, and Oppo Find X10 series. A new leak that has surfaced on Weibo suggests that the forthcoming Honor Magic 9 series could offer top-tier video recording capabilities.
Honor Magic 9 series’ launch timeframe tipped
A new leak from Chinese tipster Guan Tongxue GiM claims that the upcoming Honor Magic 9 series is scheduled to launch in China in October this year with major upgrades focused on imaging and design.
According to the tipster, the Magic 9 series will feature ARRI-powered imaging capabilities, bringing significant improvements to both photography and video recording performance. For those unaware, ARRI is a highly respected German brand in the professional cinema industry, known for producing high-end cinema cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment used in Hollywood films, television productions, and commercials.
Honor and ARRI announced their collaboration at Mobile World Congress 2026 earlier this year. The upcoming Honor Robot Phone, which is expected to launch in China in August, will be the first phone to feature cinema-grade video recording capabilities developed through this partnership.
The tipster claims that the Honor Magic 9 series will become the first regular smartphone lineup to feature ARRI imaging technology. The series is expected to include multiple models, all of which may feature flat displays.
The tipster further revealed that the lineup will adopt a refreshed design language with a more youthful appearance while retaining its business-oriented identity. In addition, the devices are expected to run MagicOS 11, which is tipped to introduce major interface and feature upgrades aimed at users who pay close attention to software details and overall user experience.
