Honor Magic 9 series is set to launch soon in China. While the brand has only mentioned the Magic 9 series, we can expect it to include the standard Magic 9 and Magic 9 Pro models as successors to last year's Honor Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro, respectively. The company has also started accepting pre-reservations for the new lineup in China. It will come with Arri-branded camera units. Additionally, a Chinese tipster has suggested the launch date and possible rear camera specifications of the series.

During the Honor Robot Phone launch event, the company confirmed that the Honor Magic 9 series will launch in China in September. The upcoming series will be released in partnership with Honor and the legendary German-based film equipment brand Arri. The lineup is confirmed to feature Honor's Yoyo AI assistant. The official teasers show the phone with a circular rear camera unit.

Meanwhile, the Honor Magic 9 series is now available for pre-order in the country via the Honor Mall store in China. The smartphone maker is promoting the upcoming handset with the tagline "Dare to Think Differently" (translated from Chinese).
