First off, this isn’t just any phone. It’s like the sports car of smartphones, boasting the same beefy internals as the Magic V2. However, the cherry on top is its configuration – we’re talking a whopping 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. But it’s not just what’s on the inside that counts; the outside is where it really shines. Decked out in Porsche’s signature Agate Grey, the phone features the iconic “Flyline” design, making it look like it’s zooming past competition, even when it’s just sitting on your desk.
Now, you might be wondering about the “Flyline.” It’s Porsche’s design language, where the car’s roofline slopes downwards towards the back, giving it an aggressive stance. The RSR Porsche Design incorporates this ethos to a T, making it look like it’s always in motion.
Moving on to the build, this device isn’t just a looker; it’s built tough with a sports car fiberglass body, though we’re scratching our heads a bit on that description too. It keeps its weight light at 234g, thanks to a frame made from magnesium alloy and a hinge of titanium alloy – same as the standard Magic V2.
Under the hood, it’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and features dual screens – a 6.43-inch cover display and a larger 7.92-inch inner display, both rocking a 120Hz refresh rate. And with a 5,000mAh battery supporting 66W fast charging, it’s ready to keep up with your day.
Camera-wise, it packs a versatile triple camera setup, including a 50MP main shooter, a 20MP zoom camera, and a 50MP ultrawide camera, plus a 16MP selfie camera on the cover screen.
Price and Availability
This exclusive phone comes with a premium price tag. At CNY 15,999 (approximately €2,050/$2,250), it’s definitely an investment. However, considering the top-tier specs and unique design collaboration with Porsche, it might be worth it for tech enthusiasts and collectors seeking a phone that stands out from the crowd.
The Honor Magic V2 RSR Porsche Design will be available for purchase in China starting January 12th. Keep an eye out if you’re in the market for a powerful foldable phone with a touch of luxury and iconic design.
