Honor partnered with German camera manufacturer ARRI on ARRI Look Cinematic Video filters for the upcoming Magic9 series. The one-tap presets emulate the color grading of several ARRI cameras, while users can adjust video color temperature for more control during capture.
Promotional material starring Honor ambassador Xiao Zhan demonstrates the filters ahead of the Magic9 series unveiling on Sept. 28. Honor says the Pro Max will feature two 200-megapixel cameras, including 1/1.28-inch main and 1/1.4-inch telephoto sensors, and support a new 500 mm teleconverter kit. The company is also developing a Super Edition model.
For creators, the filters provide a faster starting point for cinematic-looking footage without requiring immediate post-production grading. The feature reflects a broader trend of smartphone brands translating professional imaging expertise into consumer software. For Honor, the ARRI partnership adds filmmaking credibility and differentiates the Magic9 camera experience ahead of launch.
