The Magic7 RSR is now officially touted to launch as Honor's "strongest" Android smartphone to date soon. It is backed to be particularly powerful in terms of rear cameras, with specs such as both variable aperture and "100X AI Super Zoom" lenses - however, some doubt has now been cast on an allegedly crucial display update for the upcoming Porsche Design flagship.

Honor has now confirmed that it will launch a smartphone that combines the new top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite platform with its brand's "strongest" rear cameras before the end of the year.

The upcoming RSR is also now officially slated to have a Porsche Design rear panel much like that of its predecessor, albeit with the upgraded 200MP periscope zoom of the Magic7 Pro.

The Magic7 RSR was also thought to boast a tandem OLED display (like that of the latest iPad Pro, now starting at $899 on Amazon) for improved power-efficiency and brightness - however, that might not be the case, according to the famous leaker Digital Chat Station.

The smartphone's latest renders suggest that it will have the same dual punch-hole selfie camera as the 7 Pro, thereby hinting that the 2 devices have the exact same display. That panel is an impressively bright up-to-5,000 nit 120Hz LTPO panel in any case.

The tipster also asserts that the new RSR will be available in just 2 RAM/storage SKUs, although they will apparently offer a choice between going with a top-end 16GB/512GB configuration and maxing out with an even more premium 24GB/1TB variant.

The Magic7 RSR will star as the main event of Honor's Imaging Technology Conference, now scheduled for December 23, 2024 in China.
