The special edition of the current HONOR Magic V2, launched last year, is the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR. Inspired by motorsports, the foldable weighs only 234g and has a thin profile of just 9.9mm, with a design reminiscent of a Porsche 911 hood. The user can experience a sports car in their palm thanks to the enhanced grip.

With a hardness rating of over seven on the Mohs scale and the industry's first Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield, the PORSCHE DESIGN HONOR Magic V2 RSR guarantees the endurance of the phone's display while offering tenfold increased scratch resistance.

Other than these design modifications, the foldable's specs are the same as those of the HONOR Magic V2 standard version.
