TL;DR

• HONOR is launching the Magic 9 Pro Max for China.
• The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6-powered handset features dual 200MP cameras.
• HONOR worked extensively with ARRI to fine-tune image processing and its video pipeline.

It’s tricky to make your new smartphone stand out in an era that’s less and less about hardware, but HONOR sure seems to have created nice little niche for itself when it comes to advanced photographic solutions. The gimbal-equipped Robot phone might have sounded like some kind of fever dream at first, but HONOR has actually managed to follow through on its lofty goals there, delivering a smartphone camera experience that’s quite literally like none other. Now the manufacturer is trying to capture that lightning again, with the dual-200MP Magic 9 Pro Max.

Imaging hardware feeds the pipeline

HONOR’s no stranger to high-megapixel sensors, and it’s only been a few months since we met the Magic 8 Pro with its own 200MP telephoto camera. Now the Magic 9 Pro Max pushes the company’s camera hardware to new limits, adding a 200MP ultra-night main camera to the equation.
