Looks like Honor has been a busy bee lately! We’re seeing leaks and rumors about two new GT-series phones, the X50 GT and the 90 GT. But that’s not all – Honor is also gearing up to launch its flagship Magic 6 series, and the Pro model just popped up on a 3C certification listing. The 3C listing confirms that the Honor Magic 6 Pro (model number BVL-AN16) will support 5G networks. However, the most interesting detail is its label as a “Satellite mobile terminal 5G.”
This confirms the presence of advanced
satellite connectivity, aligning with earlier statements from Honor’s general
manager, Li Kun, about the company’s development of satellite-based
communication solutions. While the standard Honor Magic 6 (model number
BVL-AN00) also appeared on the 3C last month, it only boasts support for 66W
charging. No mention of satellite connectivity was found, suggesting this
feature will be exclusive to the Pro model.
The upcoming Honor Magic 6 Pro is expected
to feature a high-resolution OLED display with a pill-shaped cutout for dual
front-facing cameras and advanced sensors. It will run on the all-new Magic OS
8.0, which is based on Android 14. The device will be powered by the Snapdragon
8 Gen 3 chipset and will boast a dedicated graphics chip, a built-in security
chip, and a substantial AI model.
It is also expected to feature a
second-generation Qinghai Lake battery and a rear shell made of nano-ceramic
glass. Likewise, reports hint that the smartphone will be equipped with a
one-inch, 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50k primary camera with variable aperture
support.
Honor hasn’t announced the launch date for
the Magic 6 series yet, but we’ll keep you updated.
