Anyhow, the latest leak now reiterates the Honor Magic 9 will feature a 6.36-inch OLED LTPS display.

Furthermore, the smartphone is reportedly being tested with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset built on a 3nm process. Interestingly, the device is said to use the existing Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor instead of the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset that was previously expected.

One of the biggest highlights of the smartphone could be its battery capacity. The Honor Magic 9 is tipped to pack a battery starting with an 8,000mAh capacity, which would be unusually large for a compact flagship smartphone. The leak also suggests support for wireless charging although the exact charging speeds have not been revealed yet.

Reports further indicate that the smartphone may feature full-level water resistance along with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for improved biometric security.

In terms of cameras, the leaked prototype of the Honor Magic 9 is said to feature a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera using the OmniVision OV64D sensor. Previous leaks from the same source also revealed additional camera details. The rear camera setup is expected to include a 200-megapixel sensor with a large 1/2.8-inch sensor size alongside a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera.

Apart from photography hardware, Honor is reportedly planning to improve videography performance on the Magic 9 series through a partnership with ARRI, a well-known German professional cinema industry brand.

The smartphone is also tipped to feature an ultrasonic 3D fingerprint scanner and carry both IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Launch Timeline

As of now, the Honor Magic 9 series is expected to launch in China in October later this year. However, there has been no official confirmation or mention of this model yet.
