  "account": "Honor has launched the Magic 9 Pro Max smartphone in China, featuring an impressive triple-camera system in partnership with cinema camera specialist ARRI. This marks the second collaboration between Honor and ARRI, following the Honor Robot phone. The Magic 9 Pro Max can record up to 4K 60p using ARRI Cinema Mode, with ARRI LogC3, 10-bit color, and ARRI Wide Gamut 3. It also offers 14 built-in ARRI Looks and access to a wider library of 87 Looks. The camera system consists of a 200MP main camera, a 200MP telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultrawide, all paired with a 55MP front camera. The phone boasts a 3-degree \"gimbal-level\" stabilization, which compensates for more movement than conventional smartphone OIS without relying on EIS. It also features a four-microphone Cinematic Directional Microphone system for targeted directional pickup. Honor is also offering a Photography Master Kit with 200mm and 500mm teleconverter lenses, and supports a dedicated SmallRig mobile video kit. The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Honor's own H1 imaging processor. Despite the potential for 8K/60p and 4K/240p capture, the Magic 9 Pro Max tops out at 4K/60p. The phone also comes with an 8,800mAh battery and wireless charging.",
