Design meets technology

Like before, the Mate series from Huawei will not be complete without a Porsche Design variant. Along with the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro, the Chinese company also announced the Porsche Design Huawei Mate 20 RS. The name is a mouthful and so are all of its features.

The Porsche Design Mate 20 RS is based on the Mate 20 Pro and they share a number of features. It also sports a curved OLED display, 3D face unlock, and in-screen fingerprint sensor.

It’s powered by the new Kirin 980 processor and has all the AI capabilities that the chipset can offer. It features Dual-NPU and the latest 7nm process. The phone is paired with 8GB of memory to ensure smooth multitasking and runs Android 9 Pie with EMUI 9.0 out of the box.

Camera-wise, it sports the all-new Leica triple-camera system with a 40-megapixel main camera, 20-megapixel ultra-wide angle shooter, and an 8-megapixel telephoto cam. It can also do macro shots with ultra-sharp focus.

There’s a large 4200mAh battery inside as well and it’s fully capable of the 40W SuperCharge technology from Huawei. Fast wireless charging is also available, including the nifty reverse wireless charging.

What sets the Porsche Design variant apart from the regular Mate 20 phones is the design. Instead of a glass back, it has leather trimming. Of course, it comes preloaded with Porsche Design exclusives including icons, wallpapers, and matching user interface.

Being a luxury phone, the Porsche Design variant of the Mate 20 will not be cheap. The phone is priced at EUR 1,695 for the 256GB storage model, while the 512GB model will be available for EUR 2,095. It’s coming in Black in select markets and in a limited edition Red in China.

HONOR Magic V6

HONOR has officially launched the Magic V6 in Malaysia, bringing its latest foldable flagship to the market ahead of a wider rollout across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and other regions.

Price and availability

The device starts at MYR 7,699 (roughly over USD 1900), with pre-orders running from June 4 to June 11, 2026. Customers who place an order during the promotional period will receive freebies and protection benefits worth up to MYR 3,797 (around USD 940). These include a 2-Year Worry-Free Quality Assurance plan and a 1-Year Worry-Free Crack Protection plan.

The HONOR Magic V6 will be available in Red, Gold, White, and Black color options.

HONOR positions the Magic V6 as a foldable that eliminates the usual trade-offs between portability, durability, and performance. The device measures just 8.75mm when folded and 4.0mm when unfolded, while weighing around 219g. Despite its slim profile, it carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance and uses HONOR’s new Super Steel Hinge with a tensile strength of 2,800MPa.

Massive battery in a slim foldable

One of the biggest highlights of the Magic V6 is its 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery. HONOR says it is the largest battery ever fitted inside a foldable smartphone. The company achieved this through a new battery design featuring roughly 25% silicon content and an energy density of 921Wh/L.

Charging is handled through 80W wired HONOR SuperCharge and 66W wireless charging. The device also supports wireless reverse charging.

The foldable is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, paired with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage. HONOR says its Vulkan graphics engine enables up to 120FPS gaming in supported titles while taking advantage of the larger foldable display.

Built for productivity

The Magic V6 features a 6.52-inch outer display and a 7.95-inch inner foldable display. Both panels support adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. Peak brightness reaches 6,000 nits on the cover screen and 5,000 nits on the inner display.

Running MagicOS 10, the device introduces several AI-powered tools and productivity features. These include AI agents designed to assist with settings, photos, content creation, and contextual actions. HONOR also adds Fast Flex and PC-level Multi-Flex modes, allowing users to run multiple apps simultaneously and take advantage of the larger screen for multitasking.

The company is also emphasizing cross-device compatibility. The Magic V6 works with iPhones, Macs, AirPods, and Apple Watches through HONOR Share. Users can transfer files, share notifications, and even use dual-screen workflows with compatible Apple devices. Quick Share support also enables easier file transfers between Android and supported Apple hardware.

AI-powered cameras and Gemini integration

For photography, the HONOR Magic V6 uses a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera, a 64MP periscope telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. The system is supported by AI-powered imaging tools such as AI Color Engine, Magic Color 2.0, Magic Video Color, and AI Image to Video 2.0.

The device also comes with Google Gemini integration, allowing users to interact through text, voice, and images. HONOR is bundling a three-month Google AI Pro trial, which includes access to advanced Gemini features, NotebookLM, Flow, Veo-powered video generation tools, and 5TB of cloud storage.
