HONOR and Porsche Design join forces to deliver the ultimate premium foldable phone
The first time you see the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR, you might think it’s something out of a science fiction movie. Surely no foldable phone can be so slim, so powerful and so beautiful?
But the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is not a concept. It is here and it is now.
That’s because this is the first product of an incredible and innovative collaboration that envisions the future.
Two pioneering minds pushing the boundaries of what is possible
Porsche Design was founded by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who designed the original Porsche 911, an icon among sports cars. In 1972, FA Porsche left its glorious past behind and struck out on its own, founding Porsche Design, where it successfully expanded its legend beyond the automotive industry.
From his very first design, the Chronograph 1 timepiece, Ferdinand A. Porsche drew inspiration from innovations in racing cars and aircraft to deliver products that were not only beautiful, but whose form always followed function. That intense focus on performance has shaped products across categories: sunglasses, luxury luggage, sportswear – and now, with HONOR, Porsche Design has used its talents to create a phone like no other.
Also unafraid to tear up the rule book to chart its own path for new and exciting products, HONOR has taken just three years to establish itself as a major player in the smartphone industry since becoming independent in 2020. With the shared vision to deliver a range of high-quality HONOR and Porsche Design both push the boundaries of what is possible and create innovative products that set industry benchmarks.
Inspiration from motorsport meets technological innovation
The PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is a beautiful and tactile folding phone that combines the human-centric approach of HONOR with the pure, functional aesthetic of Porsche Design to create something very special: the world’s thinnest inward folding smartphone, weighing of only 234 grams.
The more you look at the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR and want to watch it again and again, the more fun you will see. It starts with the timeless Agate Gray color scheme, a tribute to Porsche’s most beautiful supercars, matching the paint of the Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, Macan and the Porsche Panamera.
Turn your attention to the rear of the Magic V2 RSR and you’ll see one of the most iconic designs in history: the legendary Porsche ‘flyline’. As Porsche puts it, “the flight line is our bloodline”: the sporty curves of the Porsche 911’s roofline, which evoke movement even when the car is completely stationary, have hardly changed since they first impressed onlookers in 1963.
Just like the Porsche 911, the beauty of the Magic V2 RSR goes beyond the surface. To make the impossible possible, HONOR has developed its own industry-leading, super-light titanium hinge. Combined with HONOR’s patented Shield Steel, it delivers the perfect balance of sleekness, endurance and titanium strength. And the Magic V2 RSR also features the industry’s first anti-scratch Nanocrystal Shield, which is ten times more scratch resistant and has a hardness of over seven on the Mohs scale.
The revolutionary Anti-Scratch NanoCrystal Shield uses a sputtering process to apply a layer of silicon nitride coating to the nanocrystal glass material. Silicon nitride is widely recognized for its high hardness and impressive scratch resistance and is often used by the automotive industry as a core motor and bearing component for the highest performance and most advanced racing and road cars. It provides enhanced display strength and exceptional durability that can withstand the impact of hard, coarse surfaces such as asphalt roads, quartz sandpaper and marble.
Power and performance that will take your breath away
Like the Porsche supercars that inspired it, the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is not a piece of jewelry. It’s also designed to deliver truly breathtaking performance.
The Magic V2 RSR is already a record-breaking phone, delivering gaming performance never before seen in a foldable device. It delivers incredible 120fps performance in Asphalt 9: Legends, using every millimeter of the large foldable screen to deliver a gaming experience unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
The view from the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR’s stunning folding OLED LPTO display is as beautiful as anything you’ll see from the driver’s seat of a supercar. With support for 1.07 billion colors, the display delivers vivid, accurate images that lead to industry-leading immersion, and thanks to eye protection features like 3840 Hz PWM dimming, dynamic dimming and Circadian Night Display, it helps you stay alert even for the longest periods of time. most demanding days.
Wherever you are, the Magic V2 RSR has the endurance to handle the toughest tasks. That’s because it adopts HONOR’s silicon-carbon battery technology, which uses an innovative silicon-carbon composite as the anode material, effectively improving the battery’s energy density to deliver more power with a smaller footprint. It’s another example of how HONOR creates industry-leading technology.
Three eyes are better than two
One of the most impressive features of the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is its camera system, an incredibly powerful triple camera array, powered by the HONOR Image Engine. That system includes a 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilization for beautiful photos in any environment; a 20 MP telephoto lens, also with OIS; and a 50 MP ultra-wide camera. Together they deliver exceptional results for both photography and video up to 4K resolution, with incredible clarity and meticulous detail.
The start of something special
Combining the DNA and exquisite craftsmanship of Porsche Design with HONOR’s advanced technology and industry-leading innovation, the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is an incredibly desirable device. And it’s just the beginning.
There are more exciting projects in the pipeline, including a very exciting new product that will be announced very soon, and HONOR will be working with some of the world’s biggest players, including Google, Meta and more, to create even more innovations to bring even more beautiful products and even more of the future into view.
