HONOR Magic9 Pro Max Launching in Malaysia soon with ARRI Cinematic Imaging. Six Key Features you should know.
HONOR Malaysia has confirmed that the upcoming HONOR Magic9 Pro Max will officially launch on 24 November 2026, marking the 10th anniversary of its Magic Series.
The new flagship highlights a major collaboration with professional cinema brand ARRI, bringing its imaging expertise and signature colour science into mobile photography and videography.
During an exclusive media briefing, attendees experienced the phone’s ARRI CINEMA Mode across several themed studio environments, showcasing its cinematic capabilities.
Here are six key highlights of the HONOR Magic9 Pro Max.
1. Dual 200MP ARRI Camera System
The HONOR Magic9 Pro Max features a Dual 200MP Cinematic ARRI Imaging System, combining high-resolution main and telephoto cameras for detailed photos and videos.
Its main camera includes 3-degree gimbal-level stabilisation, while both sensors support CIPA 8.0 stabilisation to help produce smoother footage and sharper images.
Image processing is handled by HONOR’s self-developed 6nm Imaging Chip H1, which processes images at RAW level. HONOR claims it improves the signal-to-noise ratio by 8dB and delivers up to 14 stops of dynamic range.
2. ARRI Cinematic Video Technology
The phone brings ARRI’s LogC3 curve to mobile video recording, helping preserve details in bright and dark areas while producing natural skin tones and smoother colour transitions.
It also supports APV 10-bit 4:2:2 visually lossless video, offering greater flexibility for post-production while reducing file sizes by approximately 20%.
Through ARRI CINEMA Mode, users can access professional-style tools, including ARRI Looks, lens profiles, cinematic 2.39:1 framing and microphone controls.
3. Professional Colour Grading
For creators who want more control over their footage, the Magic9 Pro Max supports real-time previews of ARRI-inspired colour profiles.
Users can also import custom LogC3 LUTs from a third-party ecosystem offering more than 10,000 options. Combined with its AWG ultra-wide colour gamut, the device provides greater flexibility when creating different cinematic moods and visual styles.
4. Directional Microphone for Better Audio
Beyond video quality, HONOR has developed a Cinematic-Grade Directional Microphone inspired by professional shotgun microphones.
It offers four audio presets: Long Range recording of up to 20 metres, Close Up, Voice Isolation and Voice Boost. A Professional Custom Mode is also available for manual adjustments.
For playback, the phone features Stereo Dual 1216 speakers with an 8cc acoustic chamber and dual open-cavity architecture, designed to deliver fuller sound and stronger bass.
5. 4K LiveVideo for Moving Memories
Another highlight is the phone’s 4K LiveVideo feature, which captures three seconds of motion at up to 4K resolution.
Users can apply ARRI Looks directly to their LiveVideos and switch between standard 16:9 and cinematic 2.39:1 aspect ratios for a wider presentation.
6. Professional Accessories for Longer Shots
HONOR is also introducing dedicated teleconverter accessories for users who need greater zoom capabilities.
The available options include a 200mm (2.35x) and a 500mm (5.88x) teleconverter, extending the phone’s focal length capabilities up to a claimed 14,000mm.
The device is also compatible with the HONOR SmallRig Mobile Video Kit and expansion cage, providing additional flexibility for handheld shooting and mobile video production.
