HONOR announced a handful of products today, at MWC 2024. The company announced the global variant of the HONOR Magic6 Pro and teased the Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR. We’ve already covered those two phones separately. In addition to that, however, the global Porsche Design HONOR Magic V2 RSR model also got announced, along with two more products.
The other two devices are the HONOR Pad 9 and HONOR MagicBook Pro 16, both of which have been announced for global markets. That’s five devices in total that HONOR presented at the largest tech tradeshow in the world.
The Porsche Design HONOR Magic V2 RSR was originally announced last month. The HONOR Pad 9 arrived back in November in China, while this is the initial launch of the HONOR MagicBook Pro 16.
The Porsche Design HONOR Magic V2 RSR goes global
Needless to say, out of the three devices mentioned here, the Porsche Design HONOR Magic V2 RSR managed to attract the most attention to itself. That is a premium device developed in collaboration with Porsche Design.
It shares the internals of the regular HONOR Magic V2, though it comes with topped-out specs. This phone packs in 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 1TB of UFS 4.0 flash storage. It’s fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor
It comes in a single color, Agate Gray
The phone comes in Agate Gray color, which is the same color the car its design is inspired to comes in. The camera island on the back has been redesigned compared to the regular Magic V2, and the same goes for the backplate in general, though it’s still quite slippery.
This smartphone is incredibly thin at 9.9mm when folded, and 4.8mm when unfolded. It’s also rather light, it weighs under 240 grams, and it looks great overall. The bezels are thin around both displays, and the folding mechanism is spot on as well.
Two 120Hz LTPO OLED displays are used, and a silicone-carbon battery too
The phone is equipped with two 120Hz LTPO OLED displays, and the crease on the main panel is well-hidden. Both displays do get quite bright as well. Three cameras sit on the back, a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide unit, and a 20-megapixel telephoto camera (2.5x optical zoom).
A silicon-carbon 5,000mAh battery sits on the inside here, while 66W wired charging is supported. 5W reverse wired charging is also supported, and more. This device actually packs in two charging bricks in the box, for different markets.
The Porsche Design HONOR Magic V2 RSR is priced at €2,699 in Europe. Pre-orders kick off today, while the device will go on sale on March 18.

The HONOR Pad 9 is a rather large tablet
The HONOR Pad 9 is the second product we’re here to talk about. That is a 12.1-inch tablet made out of metal and glass. It has flat sides, all of them, actually. It also has a 25600 x 1600 TFT LCD display, and and protection against glare too.
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor is included on the inside, while the tablet packs in 8GB/12GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of storage, depending on the model.
Android 13 comes pre-installed on it, along with MagicOS 7.2. An 8,300mAh battery is also a part of this package, while 35W wired charging is supported. The tablet has 8 speakers and two microphones.
There is a 13-megapixel camera included on its back and an 8-megapixel shooter on the front. Bluetooth 5.1 is included on this tablet, and there’s a Type-C port at the bottom.
The HONOR Pad 9 is a budget tablet, that much is obvious. It’s not particularly powerful, but it should be powerful enough for multimedia consumption and various other actions you’d usually perform on a tablet.
We still don’t have its price tag, but we’ll update the article once we get it.
The HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 info is scarce, for now
The HONOR MagicBook Pro 16 also got announced, though we don’t have much info at the moment. I do know it’s made out of metal, and that it’s quite thin, with thin bezels around the display.
It comes with the HONOR 140W Turbo Engine, and has a 3K HONOR Real Color Eye Comfort FullView Display. The HONOR Magic AI Workstation is also mentioned, and the device also includes six speakers. Spatial Audio is a part of the picture.
That’s all we have for now. We’re trying to get more information and the price tag.
