Honor has officially introduced the Magic8 RSR Porsche Design in China, alongside the Magic8 Pro Air. These new models expand the Magic8 family, which already includes the Magic8 Pro and standard Magic8 launched in October last year.
Continuing Honor’s collaboration with Porsche Design, the Magic8 RSR stands out with a bold, performance-inspired aesthetic influenced by Porsche supercars. The device features a nano-ceramic rear panel that, according to Honor, achieves a Mohs hardness rating of 8.5. It is also around 10% lighter than the previous RSR model. The rear camera module draws inspiration from the matrix headlights found on classic Porsche vehicles.
The smartphone is equipped with a 6.71-inch quad-curved LTPO AMOLED display offering a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 6,000 nits of peak HDR brightness. It supports Dolby Vision, 4,320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and is protected by Giant Rhino Glass.
Under the hood, the Magic8 RSR Porsche Design is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The device runs Android 16-based Magic UI 10.0 and includes a range of AI-powered features.
For photography, the phone boasts a triple rear camera setup led by a 50MP 1/1.3-inch main sensor with an f/1.6 aperture and OIS. It also includes a 50MP ultra-wide camera with a 122-degree field of view and macro support, along with a 200MP 1/1.4-inch periscope telephoto sensor offering f/2.6 aperture, OIS, and 3.7x optical zoom. Honor claims the device is the first to achieve a CIPA 6.5 stabilization rating. Additional camera features include the AiMAGE color engine and compatibility with an external 200mm telephoto lens kit from Nox. On the front, there is a 50MP selfie camera housed in a pill-shaped cutout, accompanied by a 3D depth sensor for secure face unlock.
The Magic8 RSR Porsche Design is backed by a 7,200mAh battery with support for 120W wired SuperCharge and 80W wireless charging. Other highlights include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, infrared blaster, IP68/IP69/IP69K durability ratings, and connectivity options such as 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and NFC. The phone weighs 239g and measures 8.45mm in thickness.
Available in Moonstone and Slate Gray finishes, the Magic8 RSR Porsche Design starts at CNY 7,999 ($1,150) for the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant. The top-end model with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage is priced at CNY 8,999 ($1,290).
The Magic8 Pro Air features a premium metallic satin finish achieved through a 7-coat, 7-baking light-sensing overlay process typically used in luxury automobiles. It comes in four color options: Fairy Purple, Light Orange, Feather White, and Shadow Black. The phone is built with a unibody aerospace-grade aluminum frame rated at 530MPa for durability, carries IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance certifications, and supports eSIM with smooth switching between physical SIM and eSIM.
For photography, the device is equipped with a versatile triple-camera system, including a 50MP primary sensor with a 1/1.3-inch ultra-large sensor, f/1.6 aperture, and CIPA 5.0 stabilization; a 50MP ultra-wide camera with an f/2.2 aperture and 112° field of view; and a 64MP periscope telephoto lens featuring a 1/2-inch sensor, 3.2x optical zoom, up to 100x digital zoom, f/2.6 aperture, and CIPA 5.0 stabilization.
The smartphone also debuts Android’s first AI zoom array flash, utilizing a five-array structure that covers portrait focal lengths from 1x to 6.4x. Additionally, it introduces the industry’s first CCD strobe portrait mode and delivers the most comprehensive AI-powered flash system to date.
Despite its ultra-slim profile, the Magic8 Pro Air houses a 5500mAh silicon-carbon battery with an impressive energy density of 917Wh/L. It supports 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging, ensuring long-lasting performance and quick power-ups.
