Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design - User Reviews

  • Porsche design also comes with 5x optical zoom and 512GB

  • it can

  • Sony experia 1

  • This dude is 2 times more expensive than the Huawei Mate 20 Pro... A Porsche design on a phone costs so much apparently

  • You should just buy the normal one... The Porsche one is so expensive and there is little difference between this and the regular one Exept this looks better. Not worth it.

  • Yes and of course the price:-)

  • Actually, the main difference between the Porsche design and the normal one is the RAM. The normal one comes with 6 GB while Porsche design with 8 GB.

  • This is simply a dressed up Mate 20 Pro. The ONLY differences are the exterior finish, weight, thickness and memory options. It's simply a Mate 20 Pro in a different suit which costs basically twice as much as The Mate 20 Pro.

  • Without a notch and little bit cheaper it would be really good phone....

  • Thanks a lot for the info brother..

  • This is Porsche, the next one Gucci, next IKEA or what? LOL LOL LOL LOL

  • Man i born at 17.12.1981 so i am a lot older than 90s. When i was just 5 years old i got my Commodore 64. That was a real gaming. 256 colours and audio cassetes with games in. ot like blue ray or DVD today. Completely different story. Wizard of Wor, Bruce Lee, Pitfall, Saboteur, Spy vs Spy and many more that was a real games. Present ones arent bad but old nostalgia is old nostalgia. I sometimes watching videos on youtube just for reminder and remembering the times i had no issues and no problems and many else which i am missing today.

  • Damn, was born in 2002. You 90's kids had all the good stuff

  • No my friend. Back in 1995 was released a PC game known as an Orion Master II. One of most played turn based space strategies ever and one of best strategy space games ever released also my most favorite. There was an Irridium fuel cells which allows any human or alien ship (there were many alien races) to travel in the universe indifinetely without refueling. So irridium fuel battery should be made same way. Works indifinetely without recharging always at 100% charge unless destroyed or damaged.

  • So it's got like a battery cool down? Like you use it for 8 hours with 15 minute break every 2 hours?

  • This is a very elegant phone. Especially in black. In red, not so much.

  • the price of this phone is costly but it can not record videos in 4k 60fps what happen to the huawei

  • I am eagerly waiting for Mercedes AMG Black Edition 😂😂

  • FM radio is not available in this phone. It was being tested for this phone but it was not compatible so they removed it

  • The most ironic thing with this Porsche 'designed' phone is that the phone cannot work with Porsche cars because Porsche only allows apple carplay..

  • Guys, good morning... I just wanted to know that is the fm radio is included, cus B4 while i was reading the spec the fm radio was included but now No. can someone update me please. Best regards

  • if OLED display and Face id available to any mobile, please mention as it is

  • I'm waiting for a star wars design to be released. lol

  • Well waiting for Elon Musk Tesla cell phone with Irridium battery cells which can replenish energy just by auto. Reffil when phone is not used :-)

  • You guys wait until the Bugatti model comes out , then the Porsche unit will be a bargain by comparison Then they will come up with the SPACE/X unit for a total off $126.456.48 and only available in Spacegrey Gentlemen , place your orders

  • Man expenses here and there. They dont matter here we speak about the basic which is 443 dollars to make one phone. Its not only the cost of its parts but to make a single working unit. Rest is pure robbery of apple on customers. I know sending device from china manufactury to other contries also cost something but just a single truck can carry some hundreds thousdtants of theses and a cargo ship even a several millions or billions of units. So in this case. delivery of a single unti cost maybe 0,0002 cents.

  • SH3, please educate yourself in basic financial terms to make any comments about profit, margin, markup or else. We know only cost of parts of that device, ergo we can only assess gross margin and it's actually 64%. Then there are other variable and fixed costs (including engineering, R&D, G&A and bunch of other), which will be internal information of Apple as they're not required to disclose them to public. Net profit margin by definition cannot exceed 100% because revenue is the devisor of equation and will be always greater than cost. I hae a CPA designation if that matters.

  • Well yes mistake happens and logo on porsche design isnt feature, And as i checked the Mate 20 pro and porsche design only leather finnish is the difference which cost 700 euros so yes its awfully expensive.

  • I would at least add some exclusivity to the RS. Also, can't wait to reach that level of richness lol

  • 1. I am wrong, thanks for correcting me. 2. A logo isn't a feature.

  • There will be people who buy this phone. Its for people who dont no where to throw the money at because of their richness. For example, my boss who owns a Porsche car bought every Huawei Porsche design phone. Even both you & I will not understand about it until we reach to their level of richness lol. U got the feels of exclusivity, and Huawei try to make a statement here, that their phones are top notch and dont care about it sales because its limited. The same goes to the likes of gold-plated Iphone, Vertu, Oppo Lamborghini etc. THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE BUY THOSE OVERPRICE THINGY. These are previous Mate RS phone review, which he does got a point - These Mate 20 RS? Well i really really love their design, especially the Red Color edition, the leather part and middle glass are flush. Its truly a masterpiece and got that luxury looks. I wont buy one though lol.

  • Well i am niot sure. For a phone tip top phone with best of best add-ons jack is a huge problem. Its it was and it always will be an ancient technology which have no more future in upcomming modern age.

  • Man because android was it is and always will be customer freindly compared to apple where you cant do even a Sh.T. Maybe because of that.

  • Man its 443 dollars to make apple XS Max but sells for 1249 dollars. So no its not the 64% profit. 443x2,82 its 1249 dollars so its like 282% profit. And the 700 more price is for many premium features which pro version dont have. Like leather back, porsche design logo and so.

  • Well this phone is a winer in every aspect even with its price.

  • Well many Porsche design finnish, premium build materials and some add ons related to this brand exquisite model.

  • The Mate RS looked waaay better

  • those extra are actually what a person paying for using the name Porsche Design, almost nothing to do with hardware, hehe

  • The price. Reimagined.

  • What features?

  • Lmao

  • Insert "Who would win?" meme here: 1700 EUR luxurious powerhouse with 3 back cameras (40MP!!), 8GB RAM, 512 GB ROM, IP68 water resistance, QHD screen, massive 4200mAh battery, ULTRA DELUXE leather glass back with PREMIUM aluminum frame vs. one headphone jack

  • I know right. I mean with that kind of money being spent on a phone, you would at least expect to get the best specs around in which Apple doesn't offer on those premium pricetags.

  • Because its a lot better it have a very premium features. Well guess what buy both use them for 2 weeks or month and you will understand why Porsche design cost a lot more.

  • The name. Porsche Design is like the Lamborghini partnership with Oppo. If you don't want to pay the cash for a phone that stands out, then get the regular Mate 20 Pro. For those who have a Porsche or have the money, this is for them

  • People are buying the iPhone XS Max 512 GB for that price tag, and no one bats an eye.

  • Not between the XS Max and the Mate 20. Why is there a huge difference in price between the Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20 RS Porsche Design? 700 EUR?? 820 USD??

  • Only a fool could buy a notched phone for that kind of money.

  • Man this one is amoled it have IP68 it have a 40W charging where apple XS Max charge 17% in 30 minutes which is laughable. It have 8GB ram compared to laughable 4 with apple. It have equaly same CPU in speeds and other aspects and is a smaller one. It offers much bigger battery and a premiunm finnish. A lot better camera front and back. Latest customers friendly android which wont restrict you from anything compared to laggy buggy apple with charging problems after release the new OS version. Which have always some major bugs after release new OS version. And finaly Huawei wont slow down your phone via updates compared to apple which legaly confirms that when they had no other choice.

  • Well maybe. But also i can understand for a waterproofing less holes phone have better. Soon everything will be completely wireless and even charging hole will be sealed and replaced by Qi charging (wireless one).

  • First, the iPhone XS Max's manufacturing is 440 USD, and it sells at 1100 USD, that's 64% profit. So no, the iPhone XS Max does not cost 200 USD to make. Second, what do you mean by 'it's more than that' What's the actual upgrade except the extra 2 GB RAM, a 512 GB configuration, some leather on the back and a thicker phone (despite having the same sized battery) Look at the iPhone XR and XS. The XS has 3D touch, OLED, higher resolution and PPI, another camera, more storage, more RAM, stainless steel frame and the price difference is 250 USD. Why are you defending this if the upgrades are barely noticable, and the price difference is 700 EUR (830 USD)?

  • I was about to make a joke about how expensive it is... but then I realized iPhone prices are starting to be almost as much... This is just plain sad.

  • Actually, Dave makes a point. Why have such an exorbitant price tag when they take the most basic port and remove it? They could've kept it and added a dedicated DAC like Vivo, LG, and ZTE. If the price is that high, then it better come with everything under the sun.

  • With Andriod 9 (Pie) Out of the Box....

  • Well this phone killed all the competition in all the aspects it have everything a flagship must have and it dont have any prebulescent things phone dont need to have and are obsollete. Huawei Congratulations you made best phone on earth real.

  • Man its a lot more than that. And apple is severaly overpriced. They sells 4-5 times the manufacturing costs.

  • Man phone with analong headphone jack a technology invented 170 years ago would be a joke. This is future phone not past phone. Jack is obsollette analog technology used by small kids who walking towards the streets with earphones on head ignoring rest of the world. In future it have no place and space for use.

  • No headphone jack for a 1700 euro phone. What a joke.

  • Okay, so 1700 EUR, or 2100 EUR (2000 USD or 2450 USD (Not including tax)) is the price of this phone. What do you get improved, exactly? 2 extra GB of RAM, and 512 GB Configuration. Oh, and some leather on the back. That's worth spending an extra 700 EUR (820 USD) for that? More RAM and some leather? Are you serious? I'm not calling Apple overpriced anymore. I don't care. Huawei's flagships are overpriced. Change my mind.

  • Huawei taking Apple's only strenght - price ;d

  • lol it's not going to be that fast, just wait for reviews before buying it

  • malayeeeeen

  • I lol when Porsche Design once mentioned that they cannot understand notch but symmetry design only but what a turn of event. Guess they r just a bunch of hypocrites money grab company.

  • wow I will buy this BEAST !!!!!!!

  • I’ll take what this guy’s having

  • Well that’s what the regular versions are for. Same phone without the exclusivities

  • I'm not an apple fan boy. Simply complaining about price

  • It is a notch, it is a huawei, it is Notch-a-wei 20 :)

  • "Holy crap it's more than an iPhone! Who would've knooown?" Seriously, this phone is pretty cool, though I wonder if it will have a defining feature that makes it better than the Pro

  • you should know it is not targeted for normal user right ? besides you can get much cheaper mate 20 pro/x compare to iphone. iphone xr the cheapest is already cost more than the 20x probably when launch. plus android phone reduce price severely due to competition, probably u can pick up this phone next year with 400 usd

  • Very cheap. I'll take two to go.
