Frequently asked
What makes the Magic 6 RSR different from the regular Magic 6 Pro?
The RSR Porsche Design adds a higher-resolution 180MP periscope camera, a titanium frame, exclusive design, 24GB RAM and 1TB storage as standard, sitting above the Magic 6 Pro as the line's halo model.
How long will the Honor Magic 6 RSR be supported?
As a 2024 flagship it carries roughly four OS upgrades and five years of security patches, so security support should run until around March 2029.
How long will the Honor Magic 8 Pro be supported?
Honor officially promises seven years of Android OS upgrades and security updates for the Magic 8 Pro, dating from its November 2025 global launch. That puts end-of-support around November 2032 — among the longest commitments of any phone sold in Europe.
Can I buy the Honor Magic 8 Pro in the US?
Not officially. Honor sells it in China, the UK, Europe, and select Middle Eastern and Asian markets, but skipped an official US launch. US buyers rely on imported 'global version' units, which void manufacturer warranty support.
