Honor Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design Overview:

Design and Display

The Magic 8 RSR Porsche Design continues HONOR’s partnership with Porsche Design, inspired by Porsche supercars. It has a rear nano-ceramic panel with a Mohs hardness of 8.5 for improved scratch resistance. Roughly 10% lighter than its predecessor, it’s more comfortable to hold. The camera module mimics Porsche headlights, giving the phone a bold look.

It delivers an impressive peak HDR brightness of up to 6,000 nits and supports Dolby Vision for enhanced visual quality. The display also features 4,320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming to reduce eye strain and is protected by Giant Rhino Glass.

It is the first to achieve a CIPA 6.5 stabilization rating and supports an external 200mm Nox telephoto lens. For selfies, you get a 50MP front camera and a 3D depth sensor for Face Unlock.
