HONOR has now officially launched the HONOR Magic 8 RSR Porsche design in China. This is a premium flagship phone made in close partnership with Porsche Design. This is not just branding. You can clearly see and feel Porsche’s influence in the design, materials, and overall approach. HONOR is aiming at users who want something powerful, durable, and a bit different from regular flagships.
HONOR Magic 8 RSR Porsche design officially launched in China
The HONOR Magic 8 RSR Porsche design looks bold and clean. It comes in Slate Gray and Moonstone colors. The design follows smooth lines inspired by Porsche cars, especially on the back. HONOR uses microcrystalline nano-ceramic here, which they say is real ceramic, not glass pretending to be ceramic.
The body has a Mohs hardness rating of 8.5, so scratches are less likely in daily use. The rear camera module design takes inspiration from Porsche’s matrix headlights. Some people may find the phone slightly heavy, but personally that weight gives a solid and premium feel.
Inside, the HONOR Magic 8 RSR Porsche design runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. RAM goes up to 24GB, which is honestly more than most users will ever need. Gaming, multitasking, and heavy apps run smoothly without issues.
The phone also supports satellite communication using Tiantong and Beidou networks, which is useful in remote areas. HONOR adds Giant Rhino glass and gives the phone IP68 plus IP69K ratings. Water and dust protection is top-level here, no doubt.
The camera is one of the main highlights. The phone features a 200MP telephoto camera with up to 100x digital zoom. The AiMAGE color engine helps keep colors natural, not too boosted.
HONOR also offers a professional camera kit. It includes a magnetic grip and support for 67mm filters and even 200mm external lenses. This setup almost feels like using a small DSLR, which is rare for a phone.
Despite the slim design, the HONOR Magic 8 RSR Porsche design packs a 7200mAh silicon-carbon battery. Battery life is strong and easily lasts a full day and more. Charging is fast with 120W wired and 80W wireless support. You do not wait much, simple as that.
Pricing and availability
In China, the phone is available in two variants.
- 16GB RAM with 512GB storage is priced at 7,999 yuan, roughly $1,147.
- 24GB RAM with 1TB storage costs 8,999 yuan, around $1,291.
Overall, the HONOR Magic 8 RSR Porsche design is clearly not made for everyone. It is made for users who care about build quality, long-term usage, and premium design. It may not be perfect, but it feels focused and well thought out. HONOR has done something different here, and that matters.
