Summary
Honor’s Magic 9 Pro Max brings ARRI LogC3 recording to a smartphone, letting users capture flatter, less processed video for later grading with 14 preloaded ARRI looks and 87 more available to download.
A dedicated H1 imaging chip and ARRI Image Science power the setup, while the rear system pairs a 200MP main camera with a 200MP telephoto and 50MP ultrawide.
In early testing, the phone’s CIPA 8.0 stabilization smoothed walking and jogging footage better than an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and its main camera produced stronger shadows, reflections, sharpness and color.
The comparison flipped at 3.5x telephoto, where the iPhone delivered crisper images and more accurate color, while the Honor also showed a faint streak when pointed at the sun.
Honor has not announced pricing, but estimates put the device at $1,000-$1,300, with a likely rollout in the UK, China and other markets rather than the US.
