Summary
Honor’s 2026 Magic 9 lineup is set to add two in-house chips: the Yuguang H1 imaging processor on the Magic 9 and Pro Max, and the C3 communication chip on the Super Edition and other high-end models.
Yuguang H1, first introduced on the Robot Phone, is an AI image signal processor built for mobile videography, with 18.8 TOPS-per-watt efficiency, real-time RAW-domain processing, and tuning for white balance, exposure, tone mapping, glare reduction and detail.
The C3 chip targets connectivity rather than imaging, strengthening mobile and Wi-Fi performance and improving cellular reception by 20% in weak-network areas.
That hardware push extends camera technology already teased for the series, including ARRI-linked features carried over from the Robot Phone ahead of the September 28 China launch of the Magic 9 Pro Max.
