Honor unveils its latest luxury smartphone with Porsche Design
Honor makes some pretty decent smartphones. But it looks like the company is transitioning to creating luxury smartphones as Honor has announced its latest collaboration with Porsche Design. This has resulted in the creation of the Porsche Design Honor Magic 6 RSR.
Both companies initially announced their collaboration back in 2023. The first device in the collaboration came in the form of the Honor Magic V2 RSR Porsche Design, a foldable smartphone. For those who aren’t into foldables, then maybe the new Porsche Design Honor Magic 6 RSR could be an alternative.
The phone looks rather unique, thanks to the help of Porsche Design, but under the hood, it is essentially the Honor Magic 6 Pro. This means that we’re looking at the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, along with a 6.8-inch OLED display. It also sports the same triple camera setup on the back.
One of the main differences is in the RAM, where the Honor Magic 6 RSR offers 24GB of RAM whereas the Honor Magic 6 Pro tops out at 16GB. Honestly, we’re not sure who needs that much RAM to begin with, but it’s there if you need it.
Also, in case it wasn’t obvious, the design of the phone looks drastically different from the Magic 6 Pro. It features more angular lines and given that it’s designed in collaboration with Porsche Design, it does give off a bit of a sporty vibe. According to Honor, the rear of the phone was inspired by the flyline of Porsche’s cars.
In terms of price, the Porsche Design Honor Magic 6 RSR is priced at £1,599. It seems that it is only available in Europe for now and it is unclear if there are plans to bring it to other markets.
