The Magic7 RSR Porsche is running the latest Android 15, with a layer of the in-house MagicOS on top, v9 in this case. Although no official announcement has been made regarding the guaranteed updates, Honor has stated that the Magic7 Pro will receive security updates and software support for five years, as well as support for both OS releases.
Other than that, moving from MagicOS 8 to 9 hasn't changed much, and the overall experience is pleasing to the eye. The basics are covered in more or less standard ways, with the most notable generational change being the now rounder and more bubbly quick settings buttons.
MagicOS also has some features that we don't see everywhere, like the iOS-like pill-shaped Magic Capsule notification - useful for stuff like timers, and background music and video playback. Large folders can be seen on most Android builds by now, but on the Magic7 RSR you can even resize them. The cards functionality is also present - the widgets that you can add for in-house apps, indicated by a bar under the app icon.
Then there's the Magic Portal functionality - Honor's system-wide copy-paste solution. You long-press on, say, an image, and a bar appears on the side with pre-selected apps and actions allowing you to extract the text from it, do a search, email it, or put down a note about the highlighted item.
Naturally, you get the Gemini assistant, Google's Circle to search feature, and a live translation feature. Additionally, AI text summaries and AI voice recording minutes are available. There's also some AI-based photo editing in the gallery, but it's limited to just erasing stuff - we didn't get a reflections eraser or a detail boost feature like we've seen on some other phones.
The Magic7 RSR Porsche Design is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm latest high-end chipset that can be seen in the majority of Android flagships in 2025.
We've had a bunch of them over for review already, so we have a pretty good idea of what numbers can be expected from the Elite and its custom CPU cores, as well as how it compares to Mediatek's top-tier SoC, the Dimensity 9400 that ticks inside major Magic competitors like the vivo X200 Pro or the Oppo Find X8 Pro.
The sustained load turned out better on the Porsche version than on the Magic7 Pro. Here the one-hour CPU Throttling test returned the same impressive 86% result with a beautiful graph. But the RSR model managed to complete the GPU sustained load test with a 50% score, unlike the Magic7 Pro, which always crashed due to overheating.
The Honor Magic7 RSR has a similar triple camera setup as the Magic7 Pro - a 50MP OIS primary with f/1.4-f/2.0 variable aperture, a 50MP AF ultrawide, and a 200MP 3x periscope zoom camera but with a larger f/1.9 aperture.
That last bit should translate into more light coming through the sensor compared to the Magic7 Pro's f/2.6 aperture. Honor also added a LiDAR sensor on the Magic7 RSR to help keep video stabilization in check.
For the 24GB/1TB Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design, the starting price is €1,799 (£1,549 in the UK), which is undoubtedly a substantial sum. Then again, this is cheaper than the 1TB versions of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Galaxy S25 Ultra, so it's all relative.

In terms of screen, battery life, charging speed, speakers, performance, camera, and connectivity, the Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design excels. The Magic7 RSR is worth considering if you value its premium market positioning and exclusive features, despite the fact that it is not as competitive as the industry favorites from Samsung and Apple.
