HONOR subtly introduced the HONOR Magic 6 Lite on their Italian website, which appears to be a rebranded HONOR X9b slated for the global market.
The HONOR Magic 6 Lite, just like the X9b, features the brand’s classic design with a circular camera island on the back and a fancy curved 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a high 120Hz refresh rate.
Meanwhile, the said camera island on the back holds the sharp 108-megapixel main shooter, a relatively low-resolution 5-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro glass. There’s a 16-megapixel camera on the front for selfies.
Under the hood, we can see a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 octa-core processor. The X9b has 12GB of RAM, but this one is only confirmed to have 8GB. The 256GB internal storage is the same.
Keeping the lights on is a large 5,800mAh battery with a decent 35W fast charging and will ship with Android 13-based Magic UI 7.2. It should receive the newer Android 14 update once it’s available.
Finally, the main highlight here is the HONOR Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop display. It gained a 5-star whole-device drop resistance certification from SGS.
The official price and availability details for the HONOR Magic 6 Lite are yet to be announced.
