A new red Honor Magic 9 color and photography master kit may launch soon

A new red color is coming to the Honor Magic 9 series, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, and a photography master kit is set to launch at the same time. DCS says a red unit is already in hand. The tip comes weeks after the China launch.

Honor Magic 9 red color and photography kit details

In a Weibo post, DCS said new color options are planned for release. The leak does not name which of the three phones will get the red finish, or how many other new colors are coming. None of the launch shades is red.

DCS also claims the series has passed 500,000 units in sales and ranks first among Android phones, a figure Honor has not confirmed. Honor said in late October that the lineup had led 2026 Android flagships through week 42.

A photography master set will launch with the new colors, DCS added, and could trigger another sales surge. Honor already sells a photography master kit for the Magic 9 Pro Max at 10,999 yuan (~$1,645), plus the G200 and G500 teleconverters. DCS did not say what the new set includes.
