Honor is unveiling the Magic9 series on September 28, and since we're just a few days away from the event, the company keeps on teasing the upcoming phones. The Magic9 devices, or at least the Magic9 Pro Max, will feature a cinematic mic, and Honor's "imaging innovator" Han Han has shared how it delivers a dynamic sound experience in his daily life.
This cinematic mic captures sounds from both near and far - and every sound is crystal clear, be it of fried food or a coffee machine or some clothes flapping in the distance.
The clear and accurate sound capture is obviously a great help for video recording. And the Magic9 Pro Max also has ARRI branding on top of that. It will incorporate ARRI's color science, "making everyday life feel like a movie", the company says.
It will also support a teleconverter, and as you can see in the image above, when it's attached the other two cameras are not covered. Honor has already revealed the pricing of the vanilla Magic9, but the Magic9 Pro Max will definitely be more expensive than that. Anyway, everything will be revealed on Monday.
