A new video is giving us the clearest look yet at the Honor Magic9 Pro Max ahead of its debut. Honor confirmed the Magic 9 series will land on September 28, and the lineup will reportedly split into three phones: the Magic 9, the Magic 9 Pro, and this Pro Max variant, which showed up on Weibo in an unboxing and hands-on clip wearing the Moss Green finish we’d already spotted in teasers.
The biggest change is on the back. Honor has moved away from the circular camera module used on the Magic 8 series. Instead, the Magic 9 Pro Max combines round camera rings with a large rectangular housing that stretches across the back.

The rear camera is a 200MP sensor at 1/1.28 inches with an f/1.57 aperture and OIS rated to correct up to 3 degrees of shake. Sitting behind the periscope lens is a second 200MP sensor, this one at 1/1.4 inches. Honor is also bringing its ARRI partnership to the Magic 9 Pro Max, after debuting it on the Honor Robot Phone. Honor has also been sharing camera samples from the Magic9 Pro Max as it gets closer to launch.
Up front, you still get the wide pill-shaped cutout housing the selfie camera and a 3D depth sensor, carried over from the Magic 8. What’s new is the sensor behind it: these are said to be the first Android phones with a square selfie camera sensor.
Around the rest of the phone, the screen bezels come in at a slim 1mm, and you get symmetrical stereo speaker grilles running along the top and bottom edges. On the right side sits Honor’s AI button, now in its latest form, continuing a feature the brand has kept across recent Magic generations.
With the launch date locked in for later this month, expect more leaks and hands-on footage to surface before Honor makes things official in Beijing.
