Magic10 series might mark the return of variable aperture camera on Honor smartphones

Honor introduced the physical variable aperture on its smartphones with the Magic6 series and also launched the Magic7 series with that feature. But it was dropped with the Magic8 series. However, tipster Smart Pikachu‘s recent Weibo post suggests that variable aperture might return with the Magic10 series.

Honor hasn’t announced when exactly the Magic10 series will launch or how many smartphones it will include. The Magic6 Pro, Magic6 RSR Porsche Design, Magic7 Pro, and Magic7 RSR Porsche Design feature variable-aperture cameras, so we may see Honor take the same approach with the Magic10 series.

However, it’s worth noting that the Magic9 series includes a Pro Max model, but not the Pro or RSR Porsche Design models, so if Honor has dropped those monikers for its smartphones and decided to continue with Pro Max, it would be the Magic10 Pro Max that would feature a variable-aperture camera.

Honor isn’t the first phone brand to launch a phone with a variable aperture, though. That honor (pun intended) goes to Motorola for the Motozine ZN5 launched in 2008.
