The HONOR Magic9 Pro Max will launch in Malaysia on 24 November 2026, with a livestream on HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page at 3pm. Local pricing, storage configurations and sales packages are still to be announced.
HONOR confirmed the date at a Malaysian media briefing on 12 November. The latest announcement builds on its earlier confirmation that the ARRI co-engineered flagship is coming to Malaysia, with more detail on the imaging tools and planned photography accessories.
Dual 200MP cameras and ARRI video tools
According to HONOR’s media information covered by MDROID, the phone pairs a 200MP main camera with a 200MP telephoto camera. The brand claims CIPA 8.0 stabilisation for both, with its 6nm H1 imaging chip handling RAW-domain processing.
ARRI CINEMA Mode brings together ARRI Looks, lens profiles, microphone settings and a 2.39:1 frame option. The announced recording features include the ARRI LogC3 curve, APV 10-bit 4:2:2 video and support for compatible third-party LogC3 LUTs for colour grading.
Audio controls and teleconverter accessories
HONOR also highlighted four microphone presets for different recording situations, alongside professional custom controls. Its 4K LiveVideo feature captures moving clips up to three seconds long and can apply ARRI Looks.
The accessory line-up includes 200mm and 500mm teleconverters, plus a mobile video cage and expansion frame. Malaysian accessory prices and bundle arrangements remain to be confirmed.
Local film and tourism partnerships
HONOR signed memorandums of understanding with FINAS and Tourism Malaysia to support local creators and showcase Malaysian destinations, culture and heritage through filmmaking. The Magic9 Pro Max was named their official cinematic imaging smartphone for the FFM35 and Visit Malaysia 2026–2027 collaborations.
The Malaysian launch on 24 November should provide the remaining local purchasing details. The camera features above are based on HONOR’s announcement, with performance to be assessed in a full review.
