When the Porsche Design Honor Magic 6 RSR was launched in Malaysia a couple of months ago, it was said to be only available for purchase by invitation. Well, this looks to have changed, as the limited edition flagship will go on sale locally this Sunday on 5 May.
For the Malaysian market, the Magic 6 RSR with 24GB RAM (!) and 1TB of storage retails at RM7,499. From 5 May onwards, those who are interested can purchase the phone from selected Honor Experience Stores. This includes a new outlet at The Exchange TRX, which is set to be operational on the same day. Curiously, the RM10,999 Porsche Design Magic V2 RSR will be available for purchase as well; no purchase invitation is necessary anymore.
Compared to the standard Magic 6 Pro, the Magic 6 RSR has a more eye-catching design that incorporates Porsche’s “iconic hexagonal structure,” as the company puts it. Beyond that, the 50MP main shooter has a new H9800 sensor as well, along with a LIDAR autofocus system for faster focus performance.
Also new to the Magic 6 RSR is Honor’s own Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield protecting the front of the phone, which is said to provide “unrivaled” scratch resistance. The special edition phone has a dual layer OLED Tandem Display as well that promises extended screen lifespan by up to 600% with less than 1% brightness degradation after three years of use; that’s quite the claim.
Other specifications of the Magic 6 RSR include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 6.8-inch 2800 x 1280 OLED display with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, a triple camera system (50MP main + 50MP ultra-wide + 180MP periscope telephoto with 2.5x optical zoom), a 5,600mAh battery, and an IP68 rating.
To recap, the Porsche Design Honor Magic 6 RSR will be available for purchase in Malaysia from 5 May. Those who purchase the phone from the new Honor Experience Store at The Exchange TRX this Sunday will also be eligible to join a lucky draw with prizes worth up to RM35,000 up for grabs.
