HONOR has officially unveiled its latest flagship devices in a global launch event ahead of MWC 2024.

After months of teasing, HONOR is finally debuting the HONOR Magic6 Pro, HONOR MagicBook Pro 16, and HONOR Pad 9. The Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR has also been revealed.

The devices are all launched with AI-empowered cross-OS collaboration in mind, offering users a new suite of smart devices.

HONOR Magic6 Pro

The HONOR Magic6 Pro is the latest entry to HONOR’s flagship Magic series lineup. The smartphone boasts advancements in photography, display, performance, and AI-powered user experiences.

Of course, the HONOR Magic6 Pro is highly anticipated for its camera system. Pushing smartphone photography to the next level is a package consisting of the following cameras:

180MP f/2.6 OIS Periscope telephoto camera
50MP f/1.4 to f/2.0 OIS wide-angle camera
50MP f/2.0 AF ultra-wide angle camera

These cameras are backed by an improved HONOR Falcon Camera System that utilizes an AI model trained with a larger database.

The phone is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform. It also houses an enhanced 5,600mAh battery with 80W wired and 66W wireless charging.

Discover the magic of AI

The Magic6 Pro is unveiled together with MagicOS 8.0, the latest version of HONOR’s Android-based OS. This introduces platform-level AI and the first intent-based UI.

The latest flagship also provides users a more personalized experience with a help of Magic Capsule and Magic Portal. Magic Capsule expands with a tap on the notifications banner to offer additional information and related options.

Magic Portal, meanwhile, harnesses AI to understand user messaging and behavior. This helps the user streamline complex tasks into single-step processes.

For example, Magic Portal quickly recognizes addresses in a text message and directs users to Google Maps. It can also make access and sharing more efficient, like forwarding booking details or online search results with a single drag.

HONOR is also working with industry partners to bring Meta’s open-source LiaMA inside the Magic6 Pro. This can complete functions like Q&A, text creation, and reading creation even when offline.

Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR

Following the announcement that HONOR will release another smartphone in collaboration with Porsche Design, the company has officially unveiled the HONOR Magic6 RSR edition.

It succeeds the HONOR Magic V2 RSR, and just like the foldable, the Magic6 RSR comes in an Agate Grey colorway inspired by Porsche cars.

HONOR MagicBook Pro 16

Meanwhile, HONOR’s first AI laptop, the MagicBook Pro 16, has also been revealed. It features HONOR’s cutting-edge processor and GPU.

HONOR previously said that it can challenge the MacBook in terms of semantic understanding. With MagicRing, the MagicBook Pro 16 makes sharing notifications and syncing across other HONOR devices effortless.

There are likewise many ways users can explore AI-powered tools to become more productive and efficient.

For instance, Smart Picture Search allows users to find an image using keywords or descriptors. Smart Document summary, meanwhile, makes it easier to extract key points from lengthy text.

HONOR Pad 9

Lastly, the HONOR Pad 9 takes cross-OS collaboration to a more compact device. It is a feature-packed tablet that offers exceptional user experience.

The tablet boasts an impressive 12.1-inch 2.5K 120Hz FullView display. It has an eight-speaker audio system that incorporates HONOR’s Histen sound tuning technology.

Are you ready for a more colorful MacBook?

Apple is experimenting with quirkier colorway options for the MacBook.

In recent years, Apple has relented on limiting the colors of its devices to only the more premium-looking options. Users can now pick quirkier colors for their iPhones, highlighted currently by the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max. Soon, the same splashes of color might make its way to the MacBook lineup.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has been testing different colorway options for its upcoming entry-level MacBook. The unannounced lineup might come in pink, light yellow, light green, and blue.

It’s a big change for MacBooks. Currently, the only “quirky” option that users can get is the MacBook Air’s Sky Blue, which honestly looks more silvery than blue. Other than that, the MacBook simply seesaws from different shades of gold, silver, and black.

To be fair, the upcoming MacBook will still have the traditional colorways of the current lineup. Additionally, it’s unclear whether Apple will ultimately include all its experimental colors into the final lineup.

Reportedly, the new lineup will cost somewhere between US$ 699 to US$ 799. Of course, the lower price tag will come at the expense of some specs. Although, it should still be good if we’re talking about an entry-level laptop.

It’s even more interesting if it’s hinting at the return of truly colorful options but for the notebook. The iMac already got a similar renaissance back in 2024, which mimics the classic computer’s colorful history.
