Honor is reportedly working on the Magic 9 series, which is said to include multiple models. A leak from tipster Digital Chat Station in January this year suggested that the Honor Magic 9 could feature a 6.36-inch display, while the Magic 9 Pro/Pro Max could be equipped with a 6.85-inch display. Today, the tipster shared a new Weibo post revealing additional details about the Magic 9.

Honor Magic 9’s key details tipped

According to the leak, the Honour Magic 9 features a 6.36-inch OLED LTPS display and is currently being tested with Qualcomm’s existing 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, not the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series as previously expected.

The Magic 9 is also said to pack a large battery that could start with an 8,000mAh capacity, which would be unusually high for a compact flagship. While it is said to support wireless charging, there is no information about the supported charging speeds. Other reports have also revealed that the Magic 9 will also offer full-level water resistance and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

The leaked prototype is further tipped to feature a 64MP periscope telephoto camera, reportedly using the OmniVision OV64D sensor. Other expected features include an ultrasonic 3D fingerprint scanner along with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

A previous leak by the same source revealed that, apart from the 64-megapixel periscope camera, its rear setup will include a 200-megapixel camera featuring a 1/2.8-inch large sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Reports have also revealed that Honor will team up with German professional cinema industry brand ARRI to offer an enhanced videography experience on the Magic 9 lineup.

As far as the launch is concerned, the Honor Magic 9 series is expected to break cover in October this year in China.
