Honor, the Chinese smartphone maker, has finally announced a March launch for its highly anticipated Magic 6 RSR. The announcement comes after the initial debut of the Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro in China back in January.

The company shared a teaser video of the smartphone on Weibo confirming the Magic 6 RSR name. The video also reveals a unique hexagonal camera module design, which could be a distinctive visual element for the phone. And we can also see the 100x zoom etching on the module.

Rumors suggest the Magic 6 RSR could be the first smartphone to use the all-new OV50K camera sensor from OmniVision. The OV50K is a flagship image sensor potentially rivaling to the like of Sony LYT-900. 

If these rumors hold true, the Magic 6 RSR will face stiff competition from flagships such as the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and the rumored Vivo X100 Ultra.

According to industry insider Digital Chat Station, the main camera of the Honor Magic 6 RSR will feature a variable aperture of f/1.4 to f/2.0. This would allow for greater control over the depth of field in photos and videos.

Additionally, the phone is rumored to be powered by the formidable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and may support two-way satellite communication.

Last week, the smartphone received 3C certification, confirming its compatibility with up to 100W of fast charging, as well as satellite communication and 5G connectivity.

Apart from these details, there’s relatively little information available about the Honor Magic 6 RSR at this time. However, more updates on the device are expected as we approach the launch date.
