The first time you see the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s something from a sci-fi movie. Surely no folding phone can be so slim, so powerful, and so beautiful?
But the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is no concept. It’s here and it’s now.
That’s because it’s the first product from an incredible and innovative partnership that’s bringing the future into focus.
Two pioneering spirits to push the boundaries of what’s possible
Porsche Design was founded by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who designed the original Porsche 911, an icon among sports cars. Leaving the glorious past behind in 1972, F. A. Porsche struck out on his own and started Porsche Design, where he successfully extended the legend beyond automotive.
From his very first design, the Chronograph 1 timepiece, Ferdinand A. Porsche took inspiration from innovations in racing cars and aeroplanes to deliver products that weren’t just beautiful, but whose form always followed function. That intense focus on performance has shaped products in all kinds of categories: sunglasses, high-end luggage, sportswear – and now, with HONOR, Porsche Design has turned its talents to the creation of a phone like no other.
Also unafraid to rip up the rulebook to chart its own path for new and exciting products, HONOR took only three years to establish itself as a key player in the smartphone industry since becoming independent in 2020. With the shared vision to offer a range of high-end and innovative products that set industry benchmarks, HONOR and Porsche Design both push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Motorsport inspiration meets technological innovation
The PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is a beautiful and tactile folding phone that combines HONOR’s human-centred approach with Porsche Design’s pure, functional aesthetic to make something truly special: the world’s thinnest inward folding smartphone, with a weight of just 234g.
The more you look at the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR, and you’ll want to look at it again and again, the more delight you’ll see. It begins with the timeless Agate Grey colourway, a tribute to Porsche’s most beautiful supercars that matches the paint of the Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, Macan and the Porsche Panamera.
Turn your attention to Magic V2 RSR’s rear and you’ll see one of the most iconic designs in history: the legendary Porsche “flyline”. As Porsche puts it, “the flyline is our bloodline”: the sporty curves of the Porsche 911’s roofline, which evoke movement even when the car is completely stationary, have barely changed since they first wowed onlookers in 1963.
Like the Porsche 911, the beauty of the Magic V2 RSR is more than skin deep. To make the impossible possible, HONOR developed its own industry-leading, Super-light Titanium Hinge. Combined with HONOR’s proprietary Shield Steel it delivers the perfect balance of slimness, stamina and titanium toughness. And the Magic V2 RSR also has the industry’s first anti-scratch Nanocrystal Shield, delivering ten times the scratch resistance and a hardness rating of more than seven on the Mohs scale.
The revolutionary Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield utilises a sputtering process to apply a layer of silicon nitride coating onto the nanocrystal glass material. Widely recognised for its high hardness and impressive scratch resistance, silicon nitride is often used by the automotive industry as a core engine and bearing component for the most premium and most sophisticated race and road cars, offering 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 to take your breath away
Like the Porsche supercars that helped inspire it, the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is no ornament. It’s designed to deliver truly breathtaking performance too.
The Magic V2 RSR is already a record-breaking phone, delivering gaming performance that’s never been seen before in a foldable device. It delivers an incredible 120fps performance in Asphalt 9: Legends, using every millimetre of its large folding display to deliver a gaming experience like nothing you’ve experienced before.
The view from the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR’s stunning foldable 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 screen delivers vivid, accurate visuals that deliver industry-leading immersion, and thanks to eye protection features including 3840Hz PWM Dimming, Dynamic Dimming and Circadian Night Display it’ll help you stay alert for even the longest, most demanding days.
No matter where you roam, the Magic V2 RSR has the stamina to take on the toughest tasks. That’s because it uses HONOR’s Silicon-carbon battery technology, which employs an innovative silicon carbon composite as the anode material, effectively enhancing battery energy density to deliver more power with a smaller footprint. It’s yet another example of how HONOR is creating 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 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation for superb shots in any environment; a 20MP telephoto lens, also with OIS; and a 50MP ultrawide camera. Together they deliver exceptional results for both photography and video up to 4K resolution, delivering incredible clarity and meticulous detail.
The start of something special
By combining the DNA and exquisite craftsmanship of Porsche Design with HONOR’s cutting edge technology and industry-leading innovation the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR is an incredibly desirable device. And it is just the beginning.
There are more exciting projects in the pipeline, including a really exciting new product that will be announced very soon, and HONOR will be working in partnership with some of the world’s biggest players including Google, Meta and more to bring about even more innovations, create even more beautiful products and bring even more futures into focus.
