Honor today introduced the stunning Magic7 RSR Porsche Design, a premium smartphone that is based on the Magic7 Pro and offers small improvements over the already impressive regular flagship.
There are several features that remained unchanged, such as the battery capacity with powerful charging capabilities, the trio of powerful cameras and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
The Magic7 RSR Porsche Design features a 6.8” LTPO OLED with 1 billion colors and Full HD+ resolution (it’s actually higher, but Honor avoids the 1.5K marketing slogan). The panel has a maximum brightness of 5,000 nits and the protective glass is certified to be ten times more durable against scratches and drops.
The fingerprint scanner under the panel is now ultrasonic, upgraded from the optical solution Honor used in the Magic6 series.
The trio of cameras on the back are the same 50MP main + 200MP portrait telephoto + 50MP ultrawide combo as on the Magic7 Pro. However, Honor brought a 1200-point LiDAR solution to the periscope lens to improve stabilization even in 60fps video recording, a feature that debuted in the Magic6 RSR.
The front camera combo is also the same as the Magic7 Pro: a 50 MP main camera and a 3D sensor for facial recognition and better depth effects in portrait selfies.
This Magic7, being a new phone, comes with the latest MagicOS 9.0 which brings many Magic AI features like personal agent, AI translation, and two-way noise reduction in calls.
Connectivity-wise, we can see the usual Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi, but there’s also a custom-built Honor C2 chip that adds more 5G band coverage and less interference when switching between cellular networks and Wi-Fi. Provides non-stop connectivity.
The Magic7 RSR also supports two-way satellite connectivity but is limited to the Beidou satellite used by China Telecom. This means that the feature will not be available on units designed for the global market.
The battery here is 5,850 mAh with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. Honor has also used an in-house chip, E2, for charging, as it has been specifically designed to improve efficiency and extend battery life.
The phone is IP68 and IP69-certified and has a tray for two nano SIM cards. It also has NFC and IR blaster and the phone supports stereo sound.
