HONOR Magic 7 RSR: European launch for the exclusive Porsche Design model

Published by Timo Altmeyer on the 16. January 2025

HONOR has already launched a real high-end smartphone with the Magic 7 Pro, but for those who really take "premium" seriously, there is the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic 7 RSR. The premium model stands out from the regular Magic 7 Pro not only visually, but also in some technical aspects.

Design: Porsche-typical elegance

While the Magic 7 Pro is available in the simple colors Lunar Shadow Grey, Breeze Blue and Black, the RSR model offers significantly more exclusivity. Provence, a striking shade of purple, and Agate Grey make the device immediately recognizable as a Porsche Design product.

The design is complemented by a hexagonal camera module and clear lines, inspired by the dynamic shapes of Porsche sports cars. The difference is also evident in the material. The anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield promises maximum protection and gives the case a special feel.

Camera: Some extras

Both models share the basic camera configuration - a triple setup with a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 200 MP telephoto camera. In detail, however, the RSR model offers some upgrades worth mentioning:

  •  Telephoto camera: The aperture has been increased from f/2.6 (Magic 7 Pro) to f/1.88 (RSR), which captures more light and should produce better results, especially for night shots.
  •  LiDAR Matrix Autofocus: Exclusive to the RSR, this system with 1200 focus points promises faster and more precise focusing.
  •  Main camera: Both models use an f/1.4–f/2.0 system, but the RSR also offers optimized image processing for more dynamic scenes and contrasts.

Performance: Mostly identical

In terms of performance, both the HONOR Magic 7 Pro and the HONOR Magic 7 RSR are equipped with the currently most powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite. The octa-core processor with a peak frequency of 4,32 GHz in combination with the Adreno 830 GPU delivers top performance for demanding multitasking, mobile gaming and AI-supported applications.

When it comes to memory, however, the RSR is much more generous. Instead of the 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage of the Magic 7 Pro, it offers 24 GB RAM and 1 TB internal storage.

The battery is also a bit larger. With a capacity of 5750 mAh, it has an advantage over the 5270 mAh of the Magic 7 Pro (EU). Both models support the ultra-fast 100W HONOR SuperCharge, which fully charges the battery in just about 30 minutes.

  • Because Germany always and everywhere thinks it has to do everything differently and plagues the whole world with senseless regulations and bureaucracy, along with the GDPR.

    The normal HMP 7 also has 16 GB in China instead of the castrated 12 GB in the EU.

  • Hello, why does the RSR have the bigger battery and the 7 Pro doesn't? I don't understand it. Does anyone have an explanation for this?
