Huawei will likely release the Mate RS Porsche Design in Russia soon. The device has been spotted in the Unified Register of Notifications. Now, legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) restricts importation and exportation of cryptographic devices. Common goods which have cryptographic functions like laptops, mobile phones, routers, certain types of software etc. can only be imported after the customs is provided with so-called Notification. The notification is a document which contains information about cryptographic functions of the products (e.g. authentication, Wi-Fi encryption etc). Namely, it should describe every cryptographic algorithm used by the product as well as the respective key size and cryptographic protocol.

The Huawei Mate RS notification was made public on the EAEU portal on May 22 but the application was made on May 14. This means the Mate RS Porsche Design has gotten the green light to be sold in Russia. Before now none of Huawei’s luxury series has been sold in Russia. So, the Mate RS is the first luxury model that would go on sale in Russia.

As a reminder, the Mate RS comes with a premium design consisting of triple rear cameras and a full-screen display without the notch design present on the P20 Pro. The display is a 6-inch FullView OLED display with a 2880 x 1440 resolution. It has a high contrast ratio of 90000:1 and a 538 ppi. Huawei’s Kirin 970 powers it, paired with 6GB of RAM and for the first time in a smartphone, 512GB of storage. That record has been shattered by the Smartisan R1 which packs 1TB storage. The Mate RS also has a 256GB version. The luxury model has a starting price of 1,695 euros (122,900 rubles). The price in Russia will likely not be higher than that.

The post Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design Launching Soon In Russia; Arrives Customs appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei launched some of its best smartphones yet in the P20, Mate P20 Pro and Mate RS Porsche Design back in March. While the P20 and P20 Pro adopted the now trending notch display design, the Mate RS did not come with any cut out in its display. Porsche Design’s CEO has now revealed the reason for the notch-less design adopted on the Porsche Design Mate RS and that is because the company (Porsche Design) is against it.

Porsche Design based its rejection of the notch on how it affects a smartphone’s design. While speaking with Digital Trends, the company’s design director Christian Schwamkrug stated that the company things the notch compromises the smartphone’s design. He thinks the notch destroys the symmetry of the screen, comparing it to a picture which is either rectangular or square with a borderline and a clear frame format.

This view is consistent with that of many users as expressed in a survey carried out by Android Authority. Many users are also of the view that the notch destroys the symmetry of the screen and that it can get in the way if you are watching videos or playing games. Although Huawei included the option of hiding the notch on the P20 and P20 Pro but that is just a software feature. So, if you are not a fan of the notch design, the Mate RS Porsche Design may not be a worthy option due to its steep price tag. Huawei has slapped a €2095 (~$2599) price on the 512GB variant while the 256GB variant is €1,695 (~$2,103).
