The Honor Magic9 series is shaping up for a release, according to a new leak. Two phones rumored to be part of the upcoming flagship series have entered the network certification process in China. The phones carry the codename "Twinkle" and, according to rumors, could make their official debut by the end of September.
Honor Magic9 Series Will Bring Three Phones and a Performance-Focused Version
While the numbered series offers the usual flagship experience, the Magic series is above it as the company's premium flagship lineup. As per the rumors, Honor will unveil three Honor Magic9 smartphones this year. Each one will take a different spot in the flagship market.
Besides the three Honor Magic9 phones, a rumor indicates that the brand will also unveil a performance-focused version designed for users who want sustained performance during gaming and other intensive workloads. This particular variant could come with an active cooling fan - something that seems to be the next trend among Android flagships.
In terms of optics, the phones will also feature powerful cameras, including a 200MP main camera with a large optical format. This larger sensor can capture more light, improving image quality, especially in night landscapes. Other camera features include a periscope telephoto lens.
