Honor Teases Magic9 Pro Max Features Ahead of Sept. 28 Launch

Q: With dual 200MP cameras and cinema-grade tech launching tomorrow, how high will the Magic9 Pro Max's price tag soar?

The Magic9 Pro Max is likely to land around **CNY 7,999 to CNY 8,999**, based on Honor’s own pricing signals and the current pricing of rival Chinese flagships. Honor has already confirmed the standard Magic9 at **CNY 6,499** for the 16GB/512GB version, with a temporary promotional price of CNY 5,999. Since the Pro Max is being positioned as the camera-led flagship with **ARRI branding, ARRI color science, a cinematic microphone, external teleconverter support, and reportedly dual 200MP cameras**, it is expected to sit well above the base model. The clearest benchmark comes from competing devices in China. Comparable high-end models such as the **vivo X500 Pro** and **Xiaomi 18 Pro** are priced at **CNY 7,999**, while Honor’s Pro Max appears to be aiming even more aggressively at creators with cinema-style imaging features. That makes **CNY 7,999** the most plausible entry point, with a higher memory configuration potentially pushing closer to **CNY 8,499 or CNY 8,999**. Anything much below CNY 7,500 would undercut Honor’s own positioning, while pricing above CNY 9,000 would move it into a narrower ultra-premium niche unless Honor bundles the teleconverter or other photography accessories. Until the launch event, the exact figure remains unconfirmed, but the evidence points to a **premium flagship price starting near CNY 8,000**.

Honor said the Magic9 Pro Max will add a cinematic mic, ARRI color science and teleconverter support when the Magic9 series debuts on Sept. 28.
ARRI branding points to tuned color processing aimed at more film-like video, while the new mic is being pitched as capturing both nearby and distant sounds clearly.
Honor also showed a teleconverter attachment that leaves the phone’s other two rear cameras uncovered, signaling an add-on approach to zoom shooting.
The company has already disclosed pricing for the base Magic9, but not for the Pro Max, which is expected to cost more when full details arrive Monday.
