The Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design was unveiled in April 2018 as a luxury flagship smartphone blending cutting-edge technology with premium craftsmanship. Designed in collaboration with Porsche Design, it featured a 6.0-inch OLED display with a sharp 1440×2880 resolution, slim bezels, and an IP67-rated body for dust and water resistance. With its dual fingerprint system — both under-display and rear-mounted — it introduced advanced security features ahead of its time.
Powered by the Kirin 970 processor paired with 6GB of RAM, the Mate RS Porsche Design offered high-end performance and up to 512GB of internal storage. It carried a triple Leica-engineered camera system with a 40MP primary sensor, 3x telephoto zoom, and a 20MP monochrome lens, making it one of the most powerful camera phones of its era. A 4000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging and Qi wireless charging enhanced its premium appeal.
