Designed in partnership with the iconic British automaker this limited-edition phablet smartphone will most likely feature the same specifications as the regular model, but will for sure include special design elements that mirror the iconic designs of Rolls-Royce. In terms of the specifications, the Rolls-Royce Honor Note 10 features a 1440p screen that is beautifully framed with trimmed bezels. The phone will most likely be made of glass or ceramic, as metal would obstruct the phone's ability to charge wirelesly. This limited-edition of the phone will be the only way to get a silver finish on the Honor Note 10 and will also feature a prominent Rolls-Royce logo.
