Honor Magic 9 Price and Where to Buy
Four configurations are available. All share the same cameras, display, chip and battery; only memory and storage change:

- 12GB+512GB — double the storage, useful for 4K video and 200MP stills.
- 16GB+512GB — more RAM for heavy multitasking and on-device editing.
- 16GB+1TB — the top configuration for photographers and serious video shooters.
Four finishes are offered: Yellow, Green, Black and White. See live pricing for every configuration on the Honor Magic 9 product page.
What makes the Honor Magic 9 different: ARRI cameras and triple IP in 209g
The Magic 9 is built for buyers who want Honor’s flagship camera system without the size of a flagship. At 151mm tall and 209 g, it is noticeably smaller and lighter than the Pro Max, yet it shares two things that matter most:
- Dual 200MP cameras with ARRI Film Science — the same wide and telephoto sensor count, the same ARRI Film Mode with LogC3 colour profiles and LUT files for professional grading
- Triple IP68/IP69/IP69K — the same highest water resistance rating, covering submersion, high-pressure jet wash and 80°C steam cleaning
What you give up compared to the Pro Max is explained in the comparison table below. What you get is a phone that is easy to use in one hand all day, with camera and durability credentials that most full-size flagships don’t match.
What is ARRI Image Science?
ARRI is the German manufacturer whose cameras are used to shoot a large share of feature films. Honor has built ARRI’s colour science into the camera app, so you get ARRI Film Mode with LogC3 colour profiles, official ARRI LUT files and a grading pipeline that matches the post-production workflow professionals already use. Footage from this phone can be colour-matched with cinema camera material without conversion steps.
Honor Magic 9 vs Magic 9 Pro Max
| Honor Magic 9 | Honor Magic 9 Pro Max | |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.37-inch, 1236 × 2664 | 6.8-inch, 1320 × 2868 |
| Chip | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 |
| Main camera sensor | 200MP, 1/1.4″, f/1.9 | 200MP, 1/1.28″, f/1.57 |
| Battery | 8000mAh | 8800mAh |
| Wired charging | 80W | 100W |
| Wireless charging | 50W | 80W |
| Weight | 209 g | 233 g |
| USB | USB 2.0 | USB 3.2 Gen 1 |
| eSIM | Not supported | Supported |
| Front camera | 55MP, face recognition | 55MP + 3D depth sensor, 3D face recognition |
| PWM dimming | 3840Hz | 4320Hz |
| Key bands | B12/B17, n12, n41, n77 | Adds B13/B14/B71 and n13/n14/n71 |
| Dual 200MP ARRI cameras, triple IP, HONOR C3 | Included | Included |
Choose the Magic 9 if you want the ARRI cameras and triple IP rating in the smallest, lightest body and don’t need eSIM or USB 3.
Choose the Magic 9 Pro Max if you want the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, a larger screen, 100W charging, USB 3 for file transfers, eSIM and the widest possible US band list. See the Honor Magic 9 Pro Max →
The cameras
- 200MP wide: 1/1.4″ sensor, f/1.9, OIS — a large sensor with a bright aperture.
- 200MP telephoto: f/2.6, OIS, 3.5x optical zoom and up to 120x digital zoom.
- 50MP ultra-wide: f/2.0.
Two 200MP sensors means shots at 3.5x optical still have full detail to crop into, rather than losing resolution the moment you zoom past 1x. ARRI Film Mode brings the same LogC3 profiles and LUT workflow as the Pro Max, so both phones drop into the same post-production pipeline.
