Apart from its upcoming Magic8 Pro Air, Honor is also set to announce a new RSR Porsche Design model, which will slot in as the top-tier flagship in the Magic8 series. The device previously emerged in a rumor discussing its in-house developed 1-inch type sensor with a variable aperture. We now have our first image of the device, which leaked on Chinese social media, alongside some additional spec details.

Magic8 RSR appeared in a leaked promo image alongside the rest of the Magic8 series, including the upcoming Magic8 Pro Air. We can see the Porsche Design phone in the bottom left corner in purple.
It features a “squircle” camera island which appears to house three sensors. Based on rumors, Magic8 RSR is expected to bring a 200MP periscope telephoto lens with f/2.6 aperture and an 85mm focal length alongside the 50MP main cam featuring a 1-inch type sensor. The third module will likely feature an ultrawide lens.
Magic8 RSR is also expected to carry Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite chip alongside up to 24GB RAM. The phone will allegedly feature a 7,200mAh battery with 120W charging and is rumored to launch on January 19 in China.
