HONOR has announced three new devices in China, two smartphones, and a laptop. The Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR is official, as is the HONOR Magic6 Ultimate. The HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 was also announced by the company.
First and foremost, the Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR and Magic6 Ultimate are not the same devices as everyone though they’d be. They have different backplates. The Porsche Design variant comes with a hexagonal camera on the back, while the ‘Ultimate’ variant has a square-ish camera island on the back.
The Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR is coming to global markets
The Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR will launch globally, while the ‘Ultimate’ model will be sold in China only. These two devices do share the vast majority of their internals with the regular HONOR Magic6 Pro.
Both phones have a very interesting design, different than the regular Magic6 Pro. On the HONOR Magic6 Ultimate, you’ll notice a centered camera island on the back, but with a rather different shape. Its top-right and bottom-left corners are more curved than the rest. The glass on top of the cameras is also curved towards the edges. The backplate HONOR opted for here is made out of vegan leather, and it also has some additional design elements. You’ll notice that vertical line that protrudes on the back, which will hopefully help with the grip too.
The Porsche Design model has a hexagonal camera island on the back, which is also centered. It has a different vertical line than the ‘Ultimate’ model, its is more centered. The backplate is also different, HONOR didn’t use vegan leather here, but glass instead.
There is a very interesting-looking camera island included on the back
If we flip the two phones around, you’ll notice that there’s a curved display included. A pill-shaped camera cutout sits at the top of the display, and it’s centered. The front side of the phone looks basically the same as the HONOR Magic6 Pro. The internals of the two phones are very, very similar, almost identical.
There is a 6.8-inch Dual-Layer OLED Tandem Display included on the front. That panel has an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a resolution of 2800 x 1280 pixels. The maximum brightness it can reach, technically, is 5,000 nits. This display is also Dolby Vision certified. It also has a very high 4,320Hz PWM dimming.
These handsets are IP68 certified for water and dust resistance, and the display is protected by anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC fuels these phones, while the devices has 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
A silicon-carbon battery is in use here, while blazing fast wired & wireless charging is also on offer
A 5,600mAh silicon-carbon battery sits on the inside here, while the phones support 80W wired charging. 66W wireless charging is also supported thanks to HONOR SuperCharge tech.
A 50-megapixel Super Dynamic Falcon Camera H9800 (f/1.4-f/2.0 adjustable aperture, OIS, SMA Actuator, 1/1.3-inch sensor) sits on the back. It is backed by a 180-megapixel periscope telephoto camera (f/2.6 aperture, 2.5x optical zoom, 100x digital zoom), and a 50-megapixel ultrawide unit (f/2.0 aperture, 122-degree FoV).
On the front, you’ll find a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 3D ToF sensor. The phones do have advanced facial scanning, which should work perfectly even in pitch-black conditions. It did work great on the HONOR Magic6 Pro, and this is basically the same thing in a different package. Well, different packages.
Android 14 comes out of the box, with HONOR’s custom UI
Android 14 comes pre-installed here, along with MagicOS 8.0. Bluetooth 5.3 is also supported, and the phones have a set of stereo speakers. There are also two nano SIM card slots included here.
The Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR and Magic6 Ultimate devices measure 162.5 x 75.8 x 8.9mm, while the Porsche Design model weighs 237 grams. The ‘Ultimate’ may be a little bit heavier, we’re still not sure. The Porsche Design variant comes in Agate Gray and Frozen Berry colors. The HONOR Magic6 Ultimate, on the other hand, comes in Ink Rock Black and Sky Purple colors.
HONOR also announced a new laptop
In addition to these two phones, HONOR also announced the MagicBook Pro 16 laptop. This laptop comes with Windows pre-installed, and it’s an “AI-powered laptop”, says the company.
It comes with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. The Intel Core Ultra 7 processor (155H) is also a part of the package. The device also has six speakers, and supports spatial audio.
That’s basically all the information that we have about it thus far.
Pricing
The Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR pricing starts at CNY9,999 ($1,389) in China. The HONOR Magic6 Ultimate can be purchased for CNY6,999 ($972), while the HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 costs CNY6,199 ($861).
