Honor has launched the Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design, its latest flagship smartphone created in partnership with Porsche Design. The device will go on sale in China at 10:08 AM on January 23.

The Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design follows the design direction seen in earlier RSR models, with a strong focus on materials and visual identity. Honor says the phone takes inspiration from Porsche’s flowing lines, particularly around the rear camera area. It will be available in Slate Gray and Moonstone finishes.

The back panel uses a microcrystalline nano-ceramic material, which the company claims is durable than conventional glass, with a Mohs hardness rating of 8.5. Honor also says the device is about 10% lighter than previous RSR models.

Honor Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design specifications:

Under the hood, the phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Configurations go up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of storage. On the durability side, the phone features Honor’s Giant Rhino glass on the front, along with IP68 and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance.

Honor’s AiMAGE system handles color processing and sensor fusion, while stabilization is rated at CIPA 6.5, aimed at improving handheld shots in low light.

Honor is also offering an optional photography kit, which adds a magnetic grip, a filter adapter, and an external telephoto lens designed for longer-range shooting.

Other features include satellite communication support, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, 3D face unlock, and a 7,200mAh battery with 120W wired and 80W wireless charging. The phone runs MagicOS 10, with Porsche Design-specific themes and interface elements.
