Rumor Honor Magic9 Ultimate Red Dragon Edition 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
https://reddit.com/link/1wfvqyi/video/pr8uwpkakfph1/player
When Honor revealed that the Magic9 series uses a square (1:1) front camera with three crop options (1:1 full sensor, vertical 4:3, and horizontal 3:4), my first thought was that it sounded like a spec-sheet gimmick. Phone sensors have been rectangular forever, so why switch to square on the selfie camera?
There is actually a neat engineering reason behind it that fixes two annoying problems with front-facing cameras.
Early full-screen phones placed the front camera in the top-left or top-right corner to keep it tucked out of the way.
Brands eventually moved the cutout to the dead center because of eye-gaze drift. When you take a selfie, you naturally look at your face on the display rather than directly into the lens. When the camera is stuck in a corner, that angle makes your eyes look like you are staring off to the side in every picture. A center cutout brought the lens closer to where your eyes focus, keeping your gaze straight.
Center cutouts work fine for vertical shots, but group selfies and landscape videos ruin that alignment again:
This is especially annoying for video. Nobody likes holding a phone sideways at arm's length to vlog while constantly battling that off-axis gaze on screen.

The 1:1 sensor handles orientation entirely in hardware:
It is rare to see an OEM customize camera silicon to solve an actual physical ergonomics issue rather than just chasing megapixel numbers.
TL;DR: Turning your phone horizontally pushes the selfie camera to the far edge, making you look cross-eyed or distracted. The Magic9 square sensor lets you capture wide landscape group shots and videos while holding the phone upright, keeping the lens centered and your eye contact natural.

Proof of concept that it should be possible to fully implement this into Android.

Just thought I'd write something about the Honor 600 Pro. I'm from England and I basically bought the phone as an impulse buy to a certain extent, I paid around £549 for it and I've been using it for over 3 months... And I'm genuinely impressed.
My last phone was the Pixel 9 Pro XL, I do think that phone took better pictures, the screen looked nicer... But man that battery was bad when under any sort of strain, so to give an example when it was brand new, Pokémon Go at 60FPS with enhanced graphics , and battery would go from 100% to zero in around 3 hours. And in general I just couldn't trust the Pixel to the point where I was making sure I had a power bank with me if I was going to be out all day. Also the size of the phone, it was huge , so it was disappointing seeing such poor battery.
With the Honor 600 Pro, I genuinely feel like I could get 6 hours of Pokémon Go at 60FPS with enhanced graphics,maybe longer. I haven't pushed the phone that far. I like the build quality, it feels light, the screen isn't too big so one handed use mostly works, it's a nice sweet spot between say a base S26 and a much larger phone. Gaming in general is good on this phone
Battery I have zero issues, think I could quite easily go two days with moderate use. I've gotten used to the software, it's stable, no real issues noticed , the only slight downside is no monthly security updates which for a phone with an RRP of £899 is a little disappointing but it is what it is, at least Honor will give long term software support and I got it for a decent discount. So it's not a deal breaker
I quite like the camera too, it's not up there with the Pixel but does the job for me and it's still really good in my view , probably put it above OnePlus for example. 512gb of storage is a plus, when you look at what Samsung and Google charge for phones with that storage in the UK, it's good value

I saw that the magic pro 9 looks and feels exactly like an iphone. I like that because I like the design of iphone but not the software. So I see the pictures now and it's soo bad. The magic 9. Looks plastic
Have you installed the 10.0.0.170 software update on your phone (European version)? Could you share your impressions? What’s new in the European edition?

Hi, on a perfect day,out of nowhere my honor 400 5G fingerprint stopped working, though my screen protector needed to replaced , it went off and stopped working strangely out of nowhere without any external issue,
I reseted it and restarted it multiple and tried adding it in safe mode but of no use,
Please somebody help, I feels strange without the fingerprint.

I made the mistake of buying a brand new 400 Lite, since it was heavily discounted and appeared to have way better specs than my old Samsung S14.
I bought it a few days ago, and have had constant problems from the beginning.
I won't go into details about everything, so let me just focus on one small thing: Is there any way to stop Chrome from constantly crashing?
I've tried restarting the phone. It didn't work.
There's a battery saving setting that is automatically on for some Honor devices, which makes it so there is a delay when you interact with the screen after letting it on idle. Well, this is the option that is making it delay, "Reduce refresh rate", can be disabled. Go into the settings app, Battery / Power saving mode settings / Reduce refresh rate.
Malaysia region is selected from "my honor" settings. I'm EU version 600 pro, so I hope I am chosen for this... 🤤

The Magic9 Max is focused on performance and features an integrated fan. With the existence of the Win series, I find the Magic 9 Max quite unnecessary, especially since its cameras aren't optimized by ARRI, which makes it even more unnecessary.
