Tipster Digital Chat Station has circulated near-final specs for Honor’s Magic 9 and Magic 9 Pro Max, reported by Gizmochina weeks before the Beijing Magic Grand Ceremony.
Gizmochina published the rundown on 14 September 2026. The figures come from Digital Chat Station, not from an official Honor specification sheet. Honor has already set a China launch for 28 September 2026 at the Magic Grand Ceremony, covered earlier on tbreak with dual 200MP cameras and ARRI Cinema Mode.
Honor Magic 9 tipster specs
According to Digital Chat Station via Gizmochina, the standard Magic 9 is a compact flagship with a 6.37-inch LTPS panel at 2664 × 1236 and 120Hz. The tipster path keeps IP68/69/69K protection, a dedicated AI button alongside a shutter button, a horizontal large-matrix rear camera layout, and under-display 3D ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking.
Power is tipped as Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — the same platform Gizmochina notes on the outgoing Magic 8 Pro — with an 8000mAh battery rated for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.
The rear module is tipped as a 200MP main sensor (1/1.4-inch, f/1.9), a 50MP ultra-wide (f/2.0), and a 200MP periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom (1/1.56-inch, f/2.6). Up front, the tipster list matches Honor’s already confirmed 55MP f/2.0 square selfie, covered on tbreak as the 55MP square Agile Eye selfie.
Honor Magic 9 Pro Max tipster specs vs standard Magic 9
Digital Chat Station’s Honor Magic 9 Pro Max tipster specs step the screen up to 6.8 inches with a 2868 × 1320 LTPO panel at 120Hz, while keeping the same 55MP square selfie and AI/shutter button pairing.
The Pro Max tipster path moves to Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 on a 2nm node, which Gizmochina says would put the handset among the first phones carrying that chip. Battery capacity is tipped at 8800mAh with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. Biometrics add 3D face recognition on top of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, with dual 1216 speakers for stereo output.
Cameras stay dual-200MP on paper but with larger sensors: a 200MP main at 1/1.28-inch and f/1.57, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a second 200MP periscope built around a 1/1.4-inch sensor at f/2.6.
What is confirmed versus tipster-only
Honor has publicly drip-fed camera branding and the China date — dual 200MP ARRI rear hardware, ARRI Cinema Mode, the 55MP square Agile Eye selfie on Magic 9 and Pro Max, and the 28 September Beijing event. The Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 versus Gen 6 split, the 8000mAh versus 8800mAh batteries, the LTPS versus LTPO panels, and the charging wattages in this Gizmochina piece remain tipster claims attributed to Digital Chat Station.
Gizmochina also notes a Magic 9 Super Edition in the wider lineup and points to separate design and colour reveals. Those Super Edition chip and battery details are outside this tipster rundown.
