Honor paraded at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival with its cinematic devices. However, the Robot Phone's presence at the festival wasn't the only big thing Honor had in store.
Earlier this morning (Sept 9), Honor revealed that it brought the Robot Phone's cinematic videography capabilities to the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. The company recognizes the attention the phone has received for its "innovative mechanical gimbal design and professional-grade cinematic imaging capabilities." The Robot Phone was crafted in collaboration with ARRI for professional camera-grade features.
While this has captivated consumers, Honor says it plans to extend its partnership with ARRI for its next flagships.
At the festival, Honor revealed its upcoming Magic 9 Pro Max in moss green—the first time consumers have witnessed it. Another exciting tidbit is that the phone features ARRI's logo on the back by its cameras. Honor states the device even features "the lens layout follows the design language of one of the most iconic ARRI cinema cameras." Creators will find ARRI's LogC3 to help preserve highlights and shadows for post-production. Additionally, ARRI Wide Gamut 3 delivers a broader, more distinct color space, with ARRI Looks handling controlled cinematic color styles.
The Honor Magic 9 Pro Max will debut on September 28 in China.
I'm a big fan of photography and, more recently, recording better videos. Bringing that sort of "professional-grade" software and tech into a phone is huge. To have the ability right in your pocket makes it easier for people who care about that kind of thing. For creators, I'm sure it's a major win. They can streamline their devices and purchases a little more—if they prefer, of course. I still love photography on a traditional, more powerful camera, but a phone is up there.
Cinematic styles and vibes played a key role in Honor's Robot Phone debut in August. The phone features an automatic gimbal that is just as curious as a little robot. Honor states it combined its technology with ARRI Image Science and professional cinema workflows. The Robot Phone is equipped with two 200MP lenses. The gimbal hosts one of these 200MP cameras with an f/1.6 aperture on a 1/1.28-inch sensor. The periscope telephoto lens arrives at 200MP with 2.7x optical zoom.
Several features such as ARRI LogC3, ARRI Wide Gamut 3, and ARRI Looks with its in-house H1 Image Chip help solidify Honor's "cinematography" position with the Robot Phone. AI is woven in to help reduce strenuous noises and to optimize your video's high dynamic range.
The Honor Magic 9 Pro Max launch is a few weeks away. It'll be interesting to see if Honor takes any of these features up a notch for the traditional slab phone form factor.

This past weekend, I ran the muddiest Spartan Race I've ever been on. We're talking knee-deep mud in several places on the course, and no shortage of slippery conditions no matter where you go, which made me wonder: what if I dropped my foldable phone into this kind of nastiness?
Since the Honor Magic V6 sports the highest durability among any phone today (not just foldables), I figured it would be a perfect candidate for such a test. The IP68 and IP69K ratings mean it can withstand all sorts of nonsense, from being submerged for long periods of time to taking a nasty mud bath and being tossed into a hot dishwasher afterward.
The test sounded good on paper, and I was certainly a bit hesitant to put such a wonderful phone through such torture, but the two of us came out all the better for it. Here's how the journey went.
For this test, I went out in my backyard and filled an aluminum cooking pan with dirt, then got it nice and wet with rain barrel water to make a lovely, thick mud. After some hesitation, I dropped the Honor Magic V6 into the mix and got to scrubbing in the worst way possible: with mud. I made sure to get all the ports full of mud, and I even opened the phone to get the inside and the hinge covered, as well.
Afterward, I took it over to the grass to wipe it off a bit and see how well it worked when it was this dirty. After a series of spine-tingling crunches from the hinge as it opened and closed, I took it back over to my rain barrel for a wash-off. I'd rather not have this gunk in my dishwasher, after all, so I might as well clear a bit off before I go inside.
Despite all the abuse, the phone worked perfectly. I even took a few pictures with it before going in. The hinge was still a bit crunchy-sounding by this point, but I figured that would work itself out in the dishwasher. This IP69 rating protects it against water jets and hot water, and it's fully dustproof, so things should be fine, right?
I purposefully left plenty of room for the phone on the top, so I left it unfolded, loaded the dishwashing soap into the machine, and hit start. I never use heated dry or the extra hot setting for my dishes, so I also kept those off for this test. The dishwasher gets plenty hot without those settings, so we're still getting a great test here.
After the cycle was about half over, I wanted to make sure the phone was still alive, so I popped it open and gave it a quick test. Everything looked great! Since there was room for another phone in there, I stuck my Honor Magic 8 Pro (no, this article is not sponsored by Honor) in the rack and hit record.
That phone features the IP69K rating, after all. Here's the brief footage it captured before the water clicked the stop button. Make sure to turn your sound DOWN:
Another hour later, and the dishwasher was finally done. A quick pop of the hatch, a waft of steam later, and a brand new phone emerged from the rack. Unsurprisingly, the phone had an alert message about potential overheating, which makes a lot of sense since dishwashers run at 120-140F (48-60C) while running, depending on the cycle.
Despite the warning, the phone never turned off and doesn't seem worse for wear because of it. The glass surfaces all had a bit of soap spots left on them, but a brief wipe from the kitchen towel took care of that.
Unfortunately, rubbing mud on the inner display caused the screen protector to gain a few minor scratches. Thankfully, they only appear when held at a certain angle, so I don't think they'll annoy me too much while using the phone.
The hinge also makes almost no noise when I open and close it now, a bit of an improvement from when it was slathered in mud. I'm going to assume this will continue to work its way out as I use it. Just to make sure everything functioned correctly, I also took a few pictures of my cat using each of the three cameras on the back.
I don't see any debris or water damage on any of the lenses, and the pictures look as flawless as always from this phone. I'd say the Honor Magic V6 passed this rather extreme test with flying colors! I guess Honor wasn't joking when they talked about this one's durability.
Ben 11.000 mAh: difficile che un dato della scheda tecnica riesca a rubare l'occhio più della capienza della batteria. Che però era tra i dettagli tecnici di Honor X80 Pro Max di cui già eravamo a conoscenza, così come la luminosità di picco del display. Quelli filtrati oggi grazie all'apparizione del dispositivo nel database di China Telecom ci forniscono però un quadro più completo dello smartphone.
Secondo le informazioni disponibili, Honor X80 Pro Max adotterà un display piatto da 6,8 pollici con foro centrale per la fotocamera frontale. Come accennato, l'azienda ha confermato che il pannello sarà in grado di raggiungere una luminosità di picco teorica pari a 10.000 nit, un valore che dovrebbe garantire un'eccellente visibilità anche sotto la luce diretta del sole.
Sotto la scocca - che con i suoi 8,08 mm non sarà neppure troppo spessa - ci sarà il nuovo SoC Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 di Qualcomm, mentre il sistema operativo sarà MagicOS 10.0 basato su Android 16 (ma l'aggiornamento alla MagicOS 11 appena presentata non dovrebbe essere distante).
Honor ha presentato 600 Smart, lo smartphone con la batteria più grande disponibile al di fuori della Cina. Grazie a una superficie importante - il display è un LCD da 6,87 pollici - i progettisti dell’azienda cinese sono riusciti a inserire una batteria da 7.700 mAh, che unita a un hardware non particolarmente “sfidante” dovrebbe garantire giorni di autonomia con una ricarica. Sono 1.300 in più del 600 "base" che vi abbiamo raccontato nei giorni scorsi.
Il focus di Honor 600 Smart è evidentemente questo: l’affidabilità, intesa come capacità di supportare l’utente il più a lungo possibile. Volendo, comunque, c’è la ricarica rapida a 45 watt, ed è, fa sapere Honor, resistente a cadute fino a 2,5 metri e alle immersioni fino a 1,5 metri per mezz’ora. Secondo test di laboratorio, lo smartphone può riprodurre video in streaming per 28 ore consecutive e offre fino a 93 ore di autonomia, cioè quasi 4 giorni.
Il display, come detto, è un’unità molto grande ma senza caratteristiche “di grido”, fatta eccezione per un valore di luminosità massima abbastanza elevato per un LCD (1.020 nit): la risoluzione è bassa in relazione alla superficie, 1.592 x 720 pixel. Non bisogna aspettarsi dunque una definizione particolarmente alta.
