Honor Magic 9 tipped to pack 6.36-inch display, 8000mAh battery, dual 200MP cameras, and more

Honor appears to be preparing an interesting update to its Magic series with the upcoming Magic 9. The standard model is expected to combine a relatively compact display with specifications usually associated with larger flagship phones. New details have now surfaced that reveal more about what Honor could be planning.

Honor Magic 9 key specification tipped

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Honor Magic 9 standard version could feature a 6.36-inch flat OLED display and an 8,000mAh-class battery. The battery is said to be based on Honor’s third-generation Qinghai Lake silicon-carbon technology, potentially making it the largest battery in its segment.

The combination is particularly notable because compact flagship phones generally make compromises on battery capacity due to their smaller internal space. An 8,000mAh battery inside a phone with a 6.36-inch display would therefore give the Magic 9 a significant endurance advantage if the reported specifications materialize.

DCS claims the phone’s rear camera setup will include a pair of 200-megapixel cameras. The primary one will use a 1/1.4-inch sensor. The other 200-megapixel camera will be a periscope telephoto camera, which was previously said to feature a 64-megapixel sensor. As reported previously, the camera setup will also include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

Other reported features include wireless charging and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. This standard edition is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip from last year, but the Pro models launching alongside it could arrive with the all-new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6-series chipset. For the unversed, the Magic 9 series has already been confirmed to launch on Sept. 28.
