Here's how much Honor's Magic9 will cost

Honor is making the Magic9 series official on September 28, but ahead of that today the company's CEO, Li Jian, has revealed the pricing for the vanilla Magic9 - or rather, one version of it, the one with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. This will have a normal price of CNY 6,499 ($968), but there will be a special price of CNY 5,999 ($893) in celebration of the Magic series' tenth anniversary. There's also a Chinese national subsidy that can take it down to CNY 5,499 ($819).

For comparison, note that the recently launched vivo X500 goes for CNY 5,999 ($893) with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage (it has no 16GB option). The directly comparable 16/512GB vivo X500 Pro costs CNY 7,999 ($1,191), exactly as much as the Xiaomi 18 Pro, while the Oppo Find X10 is CNY 6,499 ($968).

The Magic9 has been rumored to sport a 6.37-inch 1236x2664 LTPS OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC at the helm, a 200MP main camera using a 1/1.4" type sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, a 200MP periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom using a 1/1.56" type sensor, a 55MP square-format selfie camera, and an 8,000 mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.
