Honor Magic 7 RSR breaks cover: Porsche Design and an eye-watering price
[ad_1]
After honor After the global announcement of the flagship Magic 7 Pro phone, the company has now revealed the second iteration of its collaboration with Porsche Design. The Honor Magic 7 RSR refreshes the partnership between the Chinese manufacturer and the German carmaker, offering Porsche fans the chance to own a luxury smartphone with their favorite badge on it - if they're willing to pay the premium price.
The Magic 7 RSR shares much of its hardware with the standard Honor Magic 7 Pro. It features the same Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, camera system, and display. However, there are some notable differences.
The RSR version features a 5,850 mAh battery – identical to the Chinese version of the Magic 7 Pro – while the global model launched with a slightly smaller 5,270 mAh battery. Additionally, it includes a proprietary LiDAR Matrix AF system with a 1,200-point LiDAR array and a dual magnetic focus actuator, improving focus accuracy, speed and tracking range.
The Magic Pro series already excels in sound quality and volume, but the Magic 7 RSR takes that even further. The phone features a subwoofer system — yes, a phone's subwoofer — to boost bass frequencies. The HONOR Surround Sound Amplifier includes a specially designed cavity within the phone's body to amplify and enrich low frequencies. (Stay tuned for the full review.)

As expected, the most noticeable difference lies in the design of the Magic 7 RSR. Inspired by the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, the Magic 7 RSR's camera cover mimics the car's windshield and headlights, while the color options – Agate Gray and Provence – are directly inspired by the Taycan Turbo S's nameplate.
Porsche fans interested in this phone should be willing to pay €1,799 (about $1,850) for the 24GB/1TB model. Honor Magic 7 RSR will be available in stores across Europe starting February 21.
