Overview
The Honor Magic9 is a compact flagship built around a serious camera story: dual 200MP ARRI co-developed sensors — a 1/1.4-inch main and a 3.5x periscope telephoto — with cinematic LogC3 video tools. A 6.37-inch 120Hz OLED, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a large 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 80W wired plus 50W wireless charging round out a China-only launch package starting at CNY 4,999.
Gaming review
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is last year's top Qualcomm chip but still firmly flagship-class — high-refresh 120Hz gaming at max settings is no problem, backed by 12-16GB LPDDR5X RAM and Honor's Phantom Engine 3.0.
Price notes
Official China launch price (Sep 28, 2026): CNY 4,999 (12GB/256GB), CNY 5,499 (12GB/512GB), CNY 5,999 (16GB/512GB), CNY 6,999 (16GB/1TB). No Pakistan price announced — China-only launch, so Pakistan units will be grey-market imports.
