Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design review

17 February 2025


Sort by:

This is the true meaning of premium ,luxury etc etc

And yet it's still cheaper than boring regular flagships like the iPhone 16 pro max ,s24 ultra

    "So, uh, yeah - they made the camera hexagonal. And the edges are more rounded than usual"
    I wonder what kind of money changes hands between Honor/Porsche. Is it just Porsche wanting to run ads in China or something? What's the motivation?

      Anonymous, 20 Feb 2025Don't know how's gsmarena measurement brightness ... moreWe don't measure peak brightness - a regular user won't see much benefit from peak brightness as it only applies to small areas of the screen. We focus our efforts on meaningful tests related to day-to-day use - our white patch takes up 75% of the screen. Feel free to use dxo numbers if these apply better to your personal use case.

            Don't know how's gsmarena measurement brightness levels of the phones that tasted, dxomark shows different results iphone 16 pro max and s25 ultra comes with highest peak of brightness than all latest phones around including honor magic 7 pro and pixel 9 xl pro!

              I'm not a fan of Porsche. But this Porsche design phone is beautiful.

                    Patrick, 18 Feb 2025Why is its battery life so much better than the magic 7 pro... moreClearly you skipped some details, the Magic 7 Pro they had reviewed was the international version with a 5270mah battery as opposed to this Porche Design version with 5850mah. That is already a noteworthy increase. As they said, this device is not subject to fragmentation as it's 7 Pro sibling where the battery capacities are different between the Chinese and European variant.

                      People driving Porsche usually dont use Honor phones?! So this phones are aimed at people liking porsche, but will never be able to drive one, but buy a cheap-isch phone in lavender? Dont get me wrong, but is this a clever marketing-trick?

                        Anonymous, 17 Feb 2025that back design is absolutely hideous.It's Porsche designed. Looks quite good to me.

                          i understand but at least the Magic6 review had some important camera samples and comparisons, they were too lazy for that this time lmao

                            Yeah sure, people buying Porsche for 150k € will buy this Chinese honor magik

                              Only 8 not color depth??

                                unxpctd, 18 Feb 2025"The new OV50K40 is the first smartphone image sensor ... moreThe magic 6 porsche also use a different OV50K than the OV50H and it does worse in lowlight. No guarantee the magic 7 pro OV50K40 will do better this time round

                                The fact Honor or them choosing not to publish samples this time is telling

                                  jiyen235, 17 Feb 2025they had a similar small review for the Magic 6 RSR too lolThey did, but it was only an extended comparison to its mass-market sibling, instead of a complete review from scratch. The Galaxy S25 series had complete reviews instead of mere comparisons to its previous iterations that aren't that different from the model reviewed.

                                    vik457, 17 Feb 2025Main cam sensor is ov50k vs ov50h in magic7 pro."The new OV50K40 is the first smartphone image sensor with TheiaCel™ technology, which harnesses the capabilities of lateral overflow integration capacitors (LOFIC) to provide the best-in-class single-exposure high dynamic range (HDR) regardless of lighting conditions. The OV50K40 CMOS image sensor achieves human eye-level HDR with single exposure in standard mode, setting a high-performance bar for flagship rear-facing main cameras."

                                    Even more reason why we need samples.

                                    This website only exists to drool over SamPle (Samsung/Apple) products now. I know there isn't money to made in phone news anymore, but damn. This is sad to see.

                                      jiyen235, 17 Feb 2025they had a similar small review for the Magic 6 RSR too lolThey at least dared to put up photo comparison for that, Honor must have told them not to for this 7 because it's only a "paper" improvement and a minor one

                                        Why is its battery life so much better than the magic 7 pro one? Doesnt make sense, its the exact same chipset, battery and brand lol
