Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design - User Reviews

  • Glass back?

  • Dude the phone was released last year... You make no sence

  • it's not an ordinary phone. and ordinary phones are not meant for me. why would somebody buy this phone where you can buy cheaper phonr like OnePlus 7 Pro? this phone is nonsense. ( no SD slot Kirin970? nonsense...) 😝

  • Yes

  • Good battery, hold full day without any problems. Internet switched on always when I not of work.

  • How is the batter on this phone (asking someone who has it) ? Is it that bad as I see it in the reviews ? I mean they all say it's because it gets hot under heavy utilization and because of the qhd screen but I've never seen anyone trying to lower the screen quality to fullhd and test it then... just to see if he gets the same results as what is being delivered by the p20 pro

  • Yes company must think about customer pocket

  • bold an badass phone..yet the most expensive phone ever..priced at 99,999 Php..

  • It's more like other countries don't trust them

  • You could find out for cheaper now. Also, Porsche Design always makes stuff this expensive. The regular P20 Pro is for the regular customers

  • Remember: "Porsche" really means "VW" and "VW" really means "animal experimentation".

  • Hi’ I am from India and i want to get this phone but unfortunately it is not available in India market and online in India as well as.. And one more thing,this phone is so good from all aspect but price is too hight... So company must think about customer pocket.... Thank you so much...

  • It's 900€ now in my country (EU)... How can it have radio with the same chip as p20 pro?

  • I'm just wondering why all Limited Edition Phone (Huawei) are not being Distribute on any other Countries. Tsk Maybe they are thinking that some other countries cant afford this kind of Devices

  • It's 1500 pounds if you go for the 512 GB model. I've found the 256GB one for 1200-1100€ on Ebay from official stores, sealed and with a 2 year warranty. Now that's more even.

  • Fantastic phone nice looking. But your paying £1500 for effectively a P20 Pro with an addition of on screen finger print reader and wireless charging. And the letters PD on it. couldnt justify the money even if i could afford. I love my P20 Pro

  • You do know that the price is mostly for the name right?

  • no you cant they are the only one who make inscreen finger print readers along side facial recognition as well as back finger print reader and have 256 built in base gb and lieca camera with that small apreture

  • I mean, you could find ones for like 1100 euros

  • Nice

  • Hi. 1050 Euros.

  • Cool, how much was it?

  • Got it now on Ebay for 32% discount, less than an Iphone X.

  • EBay and Amazon. You could get a good deal.

  • I want to buy a porsche design mate rs 256 gb black but how can I buy it. Its not available right now in the market.

  • Please look at the Porsche Design in its name. That name is a brand name that is sure to sell for those who are richer or simply want to sprnd for this beast of a phone. Yes, the price is huge, but that is true for every one of its predecessors. If you are not somebody who wants the Porsche Design name, simply do not buy it and look for the unbranded version. It is a capable and beastly smartphone with a high price tag.

  • I think, it will take some time for the price of this phone to go down. Anyhow, I believe, it will never go below 1700 $. However, this phone is something exceptional, also we can wait and see, what other competitors can offer us.

  • I have p20pro too. I am using my mate RS to conrol TV by IR sensor like mate 10 or P20pro which was my privious devices.

  • Yes. I am sure. now I am using mate RS and IR sensor is located on the left of Top.

  • Nope its similar if not the same unit as on the P20 Pro

  • Are u sure that the phone came with the IR blaster ? L've been looking everywhere and i can't find any intel about it Some photos showing the upside of the phone don't show the usual little dot

  • That 40MP camera sounds too good to be true.

  • IR is still exist. I bought mate RS.

  • i will buy this later

  • Nice but the price is no good :(

  • Disappointment ☹️ The iR is extremely important in Huawei devices...

  • no card slot, well thats a no for me :)

  • mate rs have a IR sensor.

  • what about the cost, someone could tell me about that

  • The radio how it is working without 3.5 jack input?

  • This is the waste phone ever a homosaphen could buy. i better support moto c. i a have used yhis phone and it heats better than an induction cooker. i nbwg people to not buy this devise

  • Is it true. This phone don't have IR for remote control functions

  • 1600€, nice

  • Definitely gonna buy this phone,replacement for my aging s6 edge

  • I guess that the super saiyan phone has come to show itself...

  • I'm hoping they'll release a non Porsche version without the hefty price tag. Mate 11 or Mate 20 even Or just Mate RS. I'd defo buy if the looks are similar to the Porsche design!

  • mi note 5 pro

  • Pls can you suggest xiaomi which model you are talking about...which looks similarly clean and beautiful.... I want to buy

  • I like the design it would be better if they just sell device that looks as clean as this without the Porsche design stuff. Put a decent Chipset and batter it would self fairly fast. Just look how well xiaomi is doing.

  • I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I was a millionaire...

  • Are you from Nigeria?

  • What? Do you expect a phone to have more RAM than ROM?

  • wow so cheap, good job huawei

  • LOL olodo

  • When are we having Rolls Royce and Bentley Design? My friends and I, are prepared to pay over £5K. Trump and African thieving leaders like BUHARI, TINUBU, IBORI, AMEACHI, etc are prepared to pay over £55K for 18 carat gold version. Its only stolen cash that could be used to purchase this MATE RS. It should be target at countries that loot public funds.

  • Is it AMOLED or POLED? Because i read, that LG made the display

  • Usb-c?

  • this phone is better of all

  • I can build a house by the process of this phone. lol

  • nice phone. I like it.

  • I am definitely gonna buy this phone(512gb variant)...ok actually import it... I think this is the best phone now

  • price is too high to buy. No OIS so video recording is too bad compared to s9plus

  • I donot feel the need of 1440p screen or 2160p video as 1080p look enough sharp to me. Instead I am looking for higher refresh rates as 60hz no longer feel smooth to me and strain my eyes quickly. 120 hz screen and 120 fps video with 1080p resolution might feel better.

  • whene launch this mobile

  • osm mobile

  • Wow! This is how the p20 pro 'd look like too :D Add IR, and the 3,5mm jack and I'd gladly pay the 800 euro extra for the " Porsche edition"

  • No Jack = No earphones?

  • Missing infrared port.

  • I wish i had money to buy this and gifted to my loved daddy

  • "Rolling Stones" Bruh

  • i wanna buy a car

  • mate rs like good dream. many companies when release new best phone say anything about that and some time say more about that product and details that we think they say lie. so Huawei say any thing that available about mate 10 and kirin 970. all engineer in this market know for any development must upgrade our change that many thing like main chip. it's only like joke that kirin 970 has ability for support 4 camera with 92 mega pixel and support wireless charging and support without any problem this resolution with this ppi. if Huawei have this technology with this chip say it each day . wow i forgot it has npu but don't kidding me.

  • I would say this the best and most perfect device out in the market today which money can buy. Now dont argue on cost of this device.

  • I'd say Honor Magic's design is more original just minor recommendations from here and there. Trim top and bottom bezels, incorporate FF stereo speakers, latest hardwares and softwares, that phone really look stylish and can be functional too.

  • Front part resembles to Samsung's S8/+ and S9/+. Back part, different color, nothing revolutionary really. All those "Porsche design" sounds like far from the word "Originality" but more on "Functionality".

  • Brother please say, mate RS mean?

  • if the front was red like htc one m8 i would choose red but i prefer black on this model

  • red

  • How much would pay for Scoda Edition? And Ford ?

  • ofcourse it has

  • Still don't have optical image stabilisation it's suckes like its predecessor Huawei P20 Pro! :(

  • This phone has less RAM then it's ROM. But it's an impressive design which is made by Porshe. And it's triple camera made it wonderful performance. I'm just crushed to this smartphone.

  • ...and 512GB...and 2 fps

  • give me ferrari edition and i pay 2000$ for it.

  • Which colour are you choosing? Black or Red.

  • Huge price

  • That's basically just a rebranded Vertu phone...

  • if the price was lower i would buy 512gb one

  • the screen on this model is not amoled but OLED

  • 1600 eur for usb 2 with no 3.5 jack and Bluetooth 4.2 !!! ohhh there is a radio, very nice ;D

  • Did you count the Lamborghini Alpha-one

  • so terrible price, Porsche design just the name only

  • It looks fantastic, Huawei have done a great job

  • kirin 970 maximum ram capability is 6 GB,

  • What?! A second hand Golf 5?

  • Huawei Mate RS Porsche not only have higher screen resolution, storage, FM & AI capability with awesome 40 megapixels Main and 24 Megapixels Selfie camera, it is worth the price tho it should have at least 8 GB Ram instead of 6 GB which is the only let down of this phone. I will definitely buy this phone when available. Samsung S9+ phone is rubbish and NOT worth considering at all. Only Apple X come close.

  • And I thought the IPhone X was expensive

  • At first I was thinking this was basically the best phone ever.... until I saw the price... Now it's the most expensive phone ever. (not counting the stupid Vertu phones)

  • In the UK, no customer support. For that amount, only people who get free money can afford such a luxury. That's way too expensive. Maybe Huawei wants to give FIVE YEARS WARRANTY. This RS design would send them out of mobile business. If I want a Porsche car, then I buy one.

  • Mate RS, Mhhh I think this is the kid of p20 pro and s9 plus :)), the real problem here is the price the rest is the exactly same lock like the s9 plus and the camera of the p20 pro, this phone cost like 300-500$ to produce it. A normal price will be with 8 gb ram and 512gb memory I will pay like 1300$ but no more, it's no worth 2k for just exactly s9+ + p20 pro,

  • Well, Mate RS Compared to my Mate 10 Pro, they are the same software wise. Only difference is that Camera pixels and Storage and FM radio capability. I wouldn't buy it for that amount. If it had a 8GB RAM then I'd buy I for that amount. But nah.. Attractive phone though.

  • But believe me, the sound quality is superb! You don't need a jack when the battery is this strong. I have a Mate 10 Pro and Its great.

  • Ok ok... this device got prty-much everything...but heyy.. 6gb is enough but if u add 8 gb ram then wow... just an opinion.

  • About 1600 EUR ????

  • do not kill the market,attract the market,there is alot of competition in the market at this day and age,with prices so high its gonna make customers look to other competitors...

  • the more expensive your devices are the less units you will sell,samsung is on top and prices are reasonable....beat that!!!

  • WATEPAK.,,! 1600 EURO.,,.,???? are you kidding me..,?

  • Amoled means burn-in. not a wise choice

  • Huawei P20 102 dxomark overall score Huawei P20 Pro 109 dxomark overall score Samsung Galaxy s9+ 99 dxomark overall score

  • I like this beautiful phone with 6GB ram and 512GB internal storage. No headphone jack is not a deal breaker because I've been using wireless headphone for awhile now with Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 even if my current phone Samsung Galaxy S7 edge had headphone jack. As per photo quality, there's not much difference with Samsung Galaxy S9+ as per comparison found in YouTube. The price of Mate RS is too expensive that's why only few people would actually buy it. On side note, Huawei's software is also snappier and lighter than Samsung's and feels faster as I tried demo units of Mate 10 pro.

  • Hello Guys...Huawei 68MP isn't better than Samsung S9+ Camera. You can check real comparison on youtube. S9+ Clear Winner.

  • No 3.5 jack? Bye.

  • Based on paper specs and would be a statement of daily usage. This latest edition of Porche Edition is substantially even more powerful than that of the specs of Iphone X or its other iteration series. CEO Jun Lei nailed his words on this flagship.

  • Really love this design so much. I hope it can be around 1000$ only.

  • All the things are good, expect the price

  • P20+Mate 10 Pro Porsche Design=Mate RS

  • That price! Shame, as it ticks so many boxes.

  • Beautiful smartphone. Too expensive.

  • This should have been the design of the P20 Pro. Would it have a 3.5 mm jack too, it would be awesome.

  • Better than P20. Ha

  • No 3.5MM jack bad idea

  • to expensiv 4 nothing... bad deal !!!

  • Awesome design but is it really necessary for the big "PORSCHE DESIGN" on the front? Kind of ruins the clean look. Why not just put it on the back at the bottom or something..

  • I like to phones. Really I do, but I don't want to buy a phone that would cost almost as a new car. 1600 that's way to deep

  • mate rs vs s9+

  • 1600 oYrO..!? OK...! Even for free is too expensive!! To huawei..!! Obviously you forgotten ur not really good past..! What da price tag..

  • Meh, For the price. I would expect atleast 8 GB RAM and 3 years of OS updates. I do like the phone's looks and aesthetics.

  • Wow

  • Yes me too as samsung user this is the best phone design without ugly notch. Only cons is price

  • am samsung user but this phone is very interesting also it seems that its gonna have qhd screen hmmm am gonna look into this gotta wait first let see

  • Best design
