A well-known tipster, Digital Chat Station, just revealed some new information about the HONOR Magic 6 series. He claims that the HONOR Magic6 Pro will feature a 160MP periscope camera, instead of a 200MP unit.
The HONOR Magic6 Pro will include a 160MP periscope camera, it seems
The tipster says that HONOR considered a 200MP option, but went with a 160MP camera instead. He also reiterated that the OmniVision OV50K main camera sensor will be included in the Magic6 series.
That is OmniVision’s upcoming 1-inch type sensor. Do note that it won’t be a 1-inch camera sensor after all, despite initial reports, but rather a 1/1.3-inch camera sensor. That is basically around the same size as a 200MP camera sensor that the Galaxy S23 Ultra uses.
The OmniVision OV50K will be boosted by LOFIC technology, which stands for lateral overflow integration capacitor-based CMOS. That will essentially be a stacked sensor, which is not surprising, as Sony moved in that direction too with its LYTIA sensors.
The HONOR Magic6 Pro will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The phone will include top-of-the-line specs, as did its predecessor. That phone will be heavily focused on the camera experience.
The devices are likely coming to global markets in Q1 2024
Now, the HONOR Magic5 series launched at the end of February this year. If HONOR plans to stick to its release cycle, we’ll probably see these phones announced in Q1 2024… globally.
Yes, the HONOR Magic6 series will reach global markets, as did their predecessors. We’re not sure how many phones will HONOR launch, but four Magic5 phones arrived, even though not all of them reached global markets.
The four devices in question are the HONOR Magic5, Magic5 Lite, Magic5 Pro, and Magic5 Ultimate. I had the pleasure of reviewing the HONOR Magic5 Pro earlier this year, and it was a truly compelling smartphone. It will be interesting to see how HONOR plans to improve upon it.
