If you were waiting for an Honor Magic9 Pro, you can stop. Honor hasn't announced one.

Instead, Honor's 2026 lineup tops out at the Magic9 Pro Max, with the Magic9 and Magic9 Super Edition sitting below it. It's a bit messier than the typical year-over-year Pro refresh, but the new flagship does give us a pretty good idea of where Honor allocated its upgrade budget.
