Honor Magic9 to pack a camera punch in a small package

According to the prolific Chinese leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Honor is currently working on a new smartphone with a 6.36-inch flat screen and an 8,000 mAh battery. This may in fact be the Magic9 the same source talked about earlier this month, or a different handset altogether, it's still unclear.

Anyway, let's call it the Magic9 for now. It will allegedly have a 200MP main camera, using a 1/1.28-inch type sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera using a 1/2-inch type sensor.

The phone won't have 3D face recognition, which the Magic8 lacks as well. That said, the Magic9 is likely to sport the biggest battery of any device of a similar size, dwarfing even the OnePlus 15T, which is launching next week.
