- The HONOR Magic 9 series will apparently gain a 500mm external camera lens, equivalent to ~20.8x zoom.
- This would beat the vivo X300 Ultra’s 400mm teleconverter, which is equivalent to ~16.6x zoom.
- We do have concerns about the size and weight of the 500mm lens, though.
The vivo X200 Ultra debuted a 200mm teleconverter lens last year, allowing users to take high-quality ~8x zoom photos. We’ve since seen an escalation of the external lens war, with the vivo X300 Ultra now offering a 400mm teleconverter. However, a new leak suggests that HONOR could up the ante.
Long-time leaker Digital Chat Station reports on Weibo that the HONOR Magic 9 series could have a 500mm teleconverter lens. This equates to a ridiculous ~20.8x tele zoom. Check out the machine-translated screenshot below.
