The standard version starts at $1,800, but the more capable version is a whopping $2,200.
Porsche is no newcomer to the smartphone game; the company’s design division has been dishing out versions of its Mate series of phones for a number of years now. In 2017 we saw the Huawei-based Mate 10 come to market with an asking price of €1,395 ($1,500), but now the marque’s new high-tec RS model is here… and it’s even more expensive.
With an asking price of €1,550 ($1,800 in the U.S.), Porsche hopes buyers will be willing to dish out nearly $2,000 for the cheapest version of its new Mate RS, which is essentially a lightly modified version of Huawei’s P20 Pro smartphone with Porsche branding applied. There are some unique features, though, that may give buyers reason to consider it over the standard Huawei.
