Honor Magic9 Pro Max spotted in benchmark with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6

    The “Honor Magic9 Pro Max,” with model number WKL-AN20, has appeared in the “Geekbench” benchmark database. The results indicate that the phone has a “Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6” processor, but the chip variant used has not been disclosed. The prototype tested was equipped with 16 GB of RAM and ran the “Android 17” operating system.    These results should not be regarded as the phone's final performance. The device tested is a prototype, so both its internal components and software may change. The test was conducted using “Geekbench 6.7.1,” not the new “Geekbench 7.” It is not appropriate to directly compare results obtained using different versions. The retail version of the phone is expected to run “Android 17.” RAM options other than 16 GB may also be available.    The “Honor Magic9” series will be officially unveiled on September 28. The most powerful model in the series will be the “Magic9 Pro Max,” and its cameras will feature co-branding with “ARRI.” The main camera will have a 1/1.28-inch-type sensor and a resolution of 200 MP. The periscope telephoto camera, which is designed to zoom in on distant objects, is expected to have a 1/1.4-inch-type sensor. It will also have a resolution of 200 MP.    The rear camera module is also expected to include an ultrawide camera for capturing a wider field of view, but its specifications have not yet been disclosed. On the front, “Honor's” 3D facial recognition technology will be used. A square-shaped selfie sensor is also said to be included. The “Magic9 Pro Max” will also be the first model to run the company's new “MagicOS 11” interface.
