This ‘Pro Max’ Android flagship might look very familiar, but its crazy specs steal the show

TL;DR

  • HONOR has revealed the Magic 9 Pro Max in Moss Green, with an iPhone Pro-like camera setup.
  • Its dual 200MP cameras pair with optional 200mm and 500mm teleconverter lenses.
  • An 8,800mAh battery is reportedly class-leading; the full launch follows September 28.

Smartphone makers have spent years making camera bumps bigger, but HONOR’s next flagship takes that trend somewhere new — and strangely familiar. The company has officially revealed the Magic 9 Pro Max, giving us a clear look at its redesigned rear and some seriously ambitious camera hardware.

Shown in a new Moss Green finish, the phone trades HONOR’s usual centered camera island for a wide plateau spanning the top of the device. A large circular module housing the flash and possibly a periscope telephoto camera sits beside two smaller lenses, with prominent ARRI branding completing the look. HONOR’s promotional images also show a contrasting rounded rectangular section immediately below the camera bar.
