Honor is preparing to launch its next flagship smartphone lineup, the Magic 9 series, with multiple reports citing a September release. Honor begins accepting reservations and pre-orders in China, and it has shared teasers that focus on the upcoming phones’ camera design. The timing is described as earlier than last year’s Magic 8 launch.
Outlet coverage points to a camera module placed off-center in a corner, shown in Honor’s teaser materials. GSMArena.com reports that the sensor ring includes a knurling-like pattern, and it remains unclear whether it will rotate or include additional features. NDTV adds that the series is expected to include Honor’s “Yoyo” AI assistant. NDTV also attributes additional specifications to a tip, including a 200-megapixel main camera, and says a September 28 launch date has been suggested by a Weibo tipster. TechGenyz similarly frames the launch as confirmed for September while noting that full specifications have not yet been disclosed.
