HONOR Launches Three New Flagship Smartphones in the Magic Series

In a major launch for Malaysia on 20 March 2024, HONOR unveiled a wave of exciting new devices, doubling down on their commitment to innovation and user experience. This line-up features three flagship smartphones – the HONOR Magic6 Pro and two special edition Porsche Design phones – alongside a versatile new tablet, the HONOR Pad 9.

The HONOR Magic6 Pro is a powerhouse designed to impress even the most discerning mobile users. The camera system takes center stage, boasting an extraordinary 180MP HONOR Tele-falcon Camera with 100x digital zoom capabilities. This allows users to capture stunning long-distance shots with incredible clarity, ideal for capturing wildlife or sporting events from afar. Beyond raw power, the Magic6 Pro prioritizes user experience with a focus on comfort and protection. An industry-leading NanoCrystal Shield offers enhanced durability against everyday wear and tear, while the 6.8-inch All-range Low-power LTPO Eye Comfort Display minimizes eye strain with its low-power design and industry-high 4320Hz PWM Dimming. Powered by a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, the Magic6 Pro delivers exceptional performance for demanding tasks and seamless multitasking. Never get caught with a low battery again – the Magic6 Pro boasts a long-lasting 5600mAh Second Generation Silicon-Carbon battery, with 80W HONOR Wired SuperCharge technology allowing for quick and efficient charging. The Magic6 Pro runs on the innovative MagicOS 8.0 operating system, featuring the industry’s first intent-based UI that learns user behaviour and preferences to create a truly personalized experience. Available in Epi Green and Black with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, the Magic6 Pro starts at RM4,499 and is a compelling option for users seeking a feature-packed and user-friendly flagship phone.

Next up is the head-turning PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR, a testament to HONOR’s commitment to cutting-edge technology and luxurious design. This innovative device holds the title of the thinnest and lightest inward foldable phone in the world, boasting a sleek design reminiscent of a Porsche 911 hood. Weighing only 234g and measuring a mere 9.9mm thick when folded, the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is a marvel of engineering that prioritizes both style and portability. The phone utilizes a Super-Light Titanium Hinge that ensures smooth and reliable folding, while the industry’s first Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield provides superior protection against everyday scratches and nicks. Under the hood, the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR packs a punch with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a trio of high-resolution cameras – a 50MP Main Camera, a 20MP Telephoto Lens Camera, and a 50MP Ultrawide Camera – allowing users to capture stunning photos and videos in any lighting condition. A powerful 5000mAh Silicon-Carbon Dual Battery with 66W HONOR Wired SuperCharge technology keeps you powered throughout the day, and the inclusion of a stylus further enhances the phone’s versatility.

The other Porsche Design collaboration, the Honor Magic6 RSR, takes design inspiration from the Porsche Taycan. This phone boasts a Super Dynamic HONOR Falcon Camera H9800 sensor with an improved 15EV dynamic range, capturing exceptional photos and videos even in challenging lighting conditions. A cutting-edge LiDAR Matrix Autofocus System ensures superior focus for capturing those fleeting moments in perfect detail. Durability is another key feature, with an industry-leading HONOR Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield on the front (made with silicon nitride, a strong material found in aerospace and automotive industries) and HONOR NanoCrystal Shield on the back, boosting shock absorption by up to ten times to withstand accidental drops. The PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic6 RSR is powered by the advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and runs on MagicOS 8.0 based on Android 14, ensuring a smooth and powerful user experience. The phone features a long-lasting 5600mAh HONOR Second-generation Silicon-carbon Battery and the Power Enhanced Chip HONOR E1 for reliable performance, even in low-temperature conditions. Available in Agate Grey and Frozen Berry colours, the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic6 RSR caters to users who appreciate a touch of luxury in their mobile phone experience.

Finally, HONOR unveiled the HONOR Pad 9, a tablet designed to excel at both work and entertainment. The HONOR Pad 9 comes with a large 12.1-inch 2.5K Eye-Comfort Display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate which allows users to immerse themselves in movies, games, or work with stunning visuals and comfortable viewing. The audio experience is just as impressive, thanks to an eight-surround speaker system with HONOR Histen sound tuning technology.

Powering this entertainment hub is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, ensuring smooth performance for all your needs. An innovative 8GB HONOR RAM Turbo technology can be effectively expanded to 16GB, providing ample space for multitasking and multimedia collections.
