The first color is reminiscent of the iconic 911 sportscar, while the latter is a reflective, bold shade of pink originally designed for Porsche models like the Taycan.

Excellence meets smartphone innovation

The Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR immediately stands out with its camera setup at the back embraced by Porsche’s iconic hexagonal structure. The phone boasts of a titanium frame, so users can be assured that it is still lightweight.

Moreover, the phone features a symmetrical peakline, adding to the device’s dynamic appearance while also improving its grip. Furthermore, the handset uses anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield both in front and at the back, improving its shock absorption capacity by up to 10 times.

For its cameras, the Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR features a 50MP H9800 image sensor. This 1/1.3-inch sensor has an improved 15EV dynamic range. The camera system also uses LiDAR Matrix Auto Focus to speed up smartphone photography.

For its display, this phone has an industry-first dual-layer OLED Tandem Display. It can last up to 600% more than a regular OLED panel, and provides an astonishing peak brightness of 5,000 nits.

Unparalleled performance

Of course, the Porsche Design HONOR Magic6 RSR is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor for exceptional performance and AI capabilities. It runs on the MagicOS 8.0, and supports Magic Portal and MagicRing for cross-device connectivity.

Samsung introduces Flex Titanium tech for foldable displays

To debut with Samsung’s next-gen Galaxy foldable devices

Published

on

Samsung has unveiled the new Flex Titanium technology for its next generation of Galaxy foldable devices.

The redesigned display structure utilizes structural and material advancements to deliver a more refined viewing experience. This included enhanced durability and reduced crease visibility.

Flex Titanium integrates two titanium-based components: a titanium-alloy film and a titanium plate. These work together to balance slimness, flexibility, and strength — all within the foldable display structure.

The new Flex Titanium technology will debut with Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy foldable devices, with details to be unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked.

Samsung said it took a new approach to structural design to create a display that provides an immersive viewing experience while withstanding everyday use for years and years.

Titanium offered the right mix to put check mark on all three factors: strength for external shock, flexibility for repeated folding, and thinness for device fit.

The titanium-alloy film is a component that supports the display from within, sitting below the OLED panel. This has a mechanical stiffness 20 times better than polymer film.

A precision rolling process makes the external material exceptionally thin, measuring roughly one-third the thickness of an average human hair.

Below the film is a robust titanium plate for tighter bonding with the display module. It eliminates air gaps between module and the adhesive on the plate through an advanced hole processing technology.

New leak reveals first look at Samsung’s wide foldable

It looks like there’s only one book-style foldable this year.

Coming in just a heartbeat, Samsung will unveil the next foldables during the upcoming Unpacked event. The spotlight, naturally, lands on the rumored wide foldable. Now, we don’t have an official look yet, but a new leak is spoiling that for us.

Leaked by Android Headlines, the upcoming foldable, purportedly named the Galaxy Z Fold 8, looks as advertised. The brand’s first wide foldable takes a few inches off the top to deliver a, literally, wide resolution for more display real estate.

There’s not much to say about the specs, but the model does have a camera setup with two shooters. It will also be available in three colorway options: black, white, and lavender. A limited-edition green variant might also make an appearance.

Among the scheduled devices this coming Unpacked, the wide foldable is the main event. Plus, the new leak reveals that a regular Fold isn’t debuting with this batch. Rather, Samsung might go all-in on the wide foldable format.

If that’s not your style, the leak also unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 8. The new model doesn’t look different from the usual Flips that we’re used to, so it’s not a big headline.

Finally, the leak reveals the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2.

Honor might launch the Robot Phone in August, leak says

No word on whether it’s a global or a regional launch, though.

Back in CES earlier this year, Honor unveiled the oddly shaped Robot Phone. A unique concept of a smartphone melded with an action camera, the Robot Phone teased a launch date for the third quarter of this year. Well, we’re in the third quarter now, and a new leak has teased that the one-of-a-kind phone is launching in August.

According to Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station (via GizmoChina), Honor has narrowed down August as the launch date of its new smartphone. To be clear, the leaker did not clarify whether this is a global launch or just the regional one.

It should still be an exciting time for a launch, though. The lovechild between a smartphone and an action camera comes just in time for the era of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and the Insta360 Luna. A hybrid device scratches both itches.

Honor isn’t shy about showcasing the capabilities of the Robot Phone. Only recently, the Chinese brand showed off the first professional video shot using the new phone.

When it comes to hardware, the Robot Phone touts a 200-megapixel main camera attached to a stabilized gimbal system. If not in use, the camera folds into the device. Super Steady Video keeps the camera steady when taking shots while moving. Meanwhile, AI Object Tracking follows subjects seamlessly, making it a great tool for shooting videos in the field.
