Alongside it, the company also unveiled the premium Honor Magic8 RSR Porsche Design smartphone in China. These new models join the existing Magic8 Pro and Magic8, which debuted in October last year. At the same launch event, Honor also introduced the Honor Watch GS 5 smartwatch, positioning it as a strong alternative to Huawei’s wearable offerings.

The device features a 6.31-inch OLED display with ultra-narrow bezels measuring 1.08mm on all sides, clearly targeting users who prefer compact smartphones without stepping down to a mid-range category. On the design front, the Magic8 Pro Air comes with a metallic satin-style rear finish created through a multi-layer coating process, which Honor compares to automotive-grade finishes.
