All devices are driven by the latest Kirin 980 SoC. The Huawei Porsche Design Mate 20 RS is the company’s answer to a flagship premium smartphone.

Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design Will Go On First Sale In China On November 17th
The Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design combines race-car elements with premium materials. The device is finally arriving to the Chinese smartphone market on November 17th. This isn’t really surprising news as the device was always going to go on sale in China. For now, the black and red colour variant of the Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design will be available for sale in China on November 17th. The back has a two-toned colour where a piece of black reflective glass is wedged between red leather at either side. The leather in itself speaks of opulence and gives the smartphone its premium look and feel.
The black strip of reflective glass also houses the rear cameras. Just below the cameras on the very same strip of glass is a Porsche logo. While the leather on the back adds a really good finish to the smartphone with its softness and grip, the glass is a smudge magnet. Apart from this facial change, the Huawei Mate 20 RS Porsche Design is very much like the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
