Honor Magic 6 and Magic OS 8.0 announcement dates revealed

Honor's first flagships for 2024 have been rumored for a few weeks now, but the Chinese company hasn't said anything about the specifications of the Honor Magic 6 series. On the bright side, Honor has just confirmed that the Honor series Magic 6 and its new Magic OS 8.0 will be announced next month.

The handset manufacturer announced on WeiboChinese microblogging site, that Honor Magic 6 will be unveiled on January 10, while Magic OS 8.0 is expected to be unveiled on January 11. Both will initially be introduced in China, but it's safe to say that the Honor Magic 6 will be available globally in the coming months.

We expect at least two phones to be shown off at the event, the vanilla Magic 6 and the Matic 6 Pro. In addition to this, Honor has already confirmed a collaboration with Porsche for a limited edition Magic 6 Porsche Design, which could therefore also be introduced next month.

Based on the latest rumors, Honor's upcoming Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro will be equipped with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. They will feature quad-curvature OLED displays and support up to 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

The Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro will be Honor's first smartphones to ship with Magic OS 8.0, based on Android 14. The new version of Honor Android 14 will be detailed one day after the reveal of its new flagship products.
