HONOR’s Magic9 series is official: the company launched three phones in China on September 28, 2026. Motorola, by contrast, has only teased a wide foldable; its name, specifications and release date remain unconfirmed. Here are the confirmed Magic9 details and what is—and is not—known about Motorola’s device.
HONOR launched three Magic9 phones in China
HONOR says it held its Magic9 launch event in Beijing on September 28, 2026, and put the Magic9 Pro Max, Magic9 and Magic9 Super Edition on sale in China that day. Its announced starting prices are for China; the cited announcement does not establish global launch timing or pricing. HONOR’s announcement
| Model | China starting price | HONOR’s stated positioning |
|---|---|---|
| Magic9 Pro Max | 6,499 yuan (HONOR, 2026) | Creator-focused flagship, with a dual 200-megapixel imaging system and an ARRI collaboration |
| Magic9 | 4,999 yuan (HONOR, 2026) | Smaller phone for people who want a compact model with ARRI imaging capabilities |
| Magic9 Super Edition | 4,499 yuan (HONOR, 2026) | Heavier-use option with a larger screen, large battery and active cooling |
These descriptions reflect HONOR’s own product positioning, not independent testing. HONOR also says the series supports MagicOS 11 and highlights AI and cross-device features; the announcement does not establish independent performance results.

Pro Max video features and creator accessories
For the Pro Max video workflow, HONOR cites ARRI LogC3 and 87 ARRI Looks. The company also lists a photography kit and a professional video expansion cage developed with SmallRig. Those are manufacturer-announced capabilities and accessories, not evidence of independent testing.

Motorola has teased a wide foldable, but not confirmed its details
Motorola’s September 9 Razr-family social video teased a wider foldable and appeared to show a horizontal camera bar. The video offered little else: the cited contemporaneous report said the launch timing and price were unknown, with earlier leaks referring only to a launch “in the coming months.” Motorola has not officially announced a named product or a firm release date in the cited material.

What the leak reports claim
An Android Authority report attributes a possible 6.92-inch inner OLED screen, 4.97-inch cover screen, 5,000 mAh battery and 165 Hz refresh rate to leaks. It also reports an alleged mid-December 2026 target. These are unconfirmed leak claims, not Motorola specifications or a confirmed launch date. The name “Razr Wide Fold” is also unconfirmed.
