Honor Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design debuts with 200MP telephoto camera and versatile camera kit
Alongside the ultra-thin Magic 8 Pro Air, Honor has also introduced the Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design. The smartphone is almost identical to the Magic 8 Pro from a technical perspective, except that the RSR version maxes out at 24GB RAM and 1TB of storage.
However, the most significant difference is certainly the design, as the Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design uses a ceramic chassis with a striking rear panel that sports a special 3D texture. As usual, the flagship phone is intended to stand out with high-quality cameras. This starts with the 50MP f/2.0 selfie camera, which is combined with a ToF sensor to enable 3D facial recognition similar to Apple’s Face ID. Alternatively, a 3D fingerprint sensor that’s integrated into the display is also available.
200MP telephoto camera with up to 8.7x zoom thanks to converter
The rear camera setup sports a 50MP f/1.6 main camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, a 50MP f/2.0 ultra-wide camera and a 200MP f/2.6 periscope tele camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor and 3.7x optical zoom. For users who need a higher zoom, Honor will sell a tele converter that effectively increases the tele camera’s zoom to about 8.7x. The separately available camera kit expands the smartphone with a protective case and a magnetic grip, both feature a leather texture. The case is compatible with regular 67mm filters, while the grip adds a shutter button and a configurable control dial.
The Honor Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The 6.71-inch display offers a resolution of 2808 x 1256 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 6,000 nits of brightness. The battery has a capacity of 7,200mAh and can be charged via USB-C at up to 120 watts or wirelessly at 80 watts. The smartphone is compatible with the Beidou satellite network, but this feature is likely limited to the Chinese market.
Price and availability
The Honor Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design will hit the Chinese market with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage for the equivalent of $1,150. Alternatively, the top version with 24GB memory and 1TB storage is going to retail for almost $1,300.
