Honor Unboxes Magic9 Pro Max With 200MP Cameras and ARRI Tools

Summary

  • Honor’s Magic9 Pro Max has arrived ahead of its global debut, with the flagship positioned to compete for the top cameraphone spot rather than just refresh last year’s model.
  • Two 200MP rear cameras anchor that push, while ARRI brings its Image Science pipeline, LogC3 curve, Wide Gamut 3 10-bit color and support for more than 10,000 LUTs.
  • The phone also adds creator-focused controls, including a dedicated camera key with touch-and-press input, a customizable AI button, and live LUT preview while shooting log video.
  • In the box, the Moss Green model includes a 100W charger, USB cable and silicone case, while the hardware shifts to a more distinctive ARRI-inspired design with a metal chassis and wireless-charging glass insert.
  • Honor is betting that pairing top-end camera hardware with ARRI’s professional color workflow will fix a weakness of past models, where strong specs were not matched by equally strong imaging software.
