Performance
Under the hood, the HONOR Magic9 Pro Max is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor paired with the Adreno 850 GPU. It runs on MagicOS 11 based on Android 17.
The smartphone is available in two memory configurations in Hong Kong: 12GB RAM with 512GB storage and 16GB RAM with 1TB storage.
For photography and video creators, the phone also includes dedicated AI features and an advanced imaging system.
‘Movie’ Cameras
The camera system is one of the biggest highlights of the HONOR Magic9 Pro Max. It features a dual 200MP rear camera setup developed in collaboration with ARRI, a renowned German professional cinema-camera manufacturer.
The rear camera setup includes:
- • 200MP main camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor and OIS
- • 200MP telephoto camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor, OIS, and 3.5x optical zoom
- • 50MP ultra-wide camera with a 122-degree field of view
The telephoto camera also supports up to 200x digital zoom.
For video recording, the phone brings ARRI CINEMA Mode, which supports up to 4K 60fps recording. It incorporates ARRI LogC3, ARRI Wide Gamut 3, and professional color profiles to provide greater flexibility during video editing and color grading.
The phone also offers 14 preset ARRI Looks and access to the ARRI Look Library, which includes 87 creative color grading options.

Battery and Other Features
The Hong Kong variant of the HONOR Magic9 Pro Max packs an 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, which is smaller than the 8,800mAh battery available in the Chinese version. These days, we can expect a 10,000mAh battery on a phone. So, the one on the Honor Magic9 is not overkill; however, it is still a giant one.
