Hello guys! What I got is the just released Honor Magic 2 slider phone
For Magic series phones of Huawei, I'm quite impressed by its uniqueness
Back to Dec 2016 when Honor released its first Magic phone, I was there and did a pretty detailed review of it
Its intelligence, design and many other tech breakthroughs were quite astonishing
But that was two years ago, during this period, great changes have applied to the phone industry
You see every phone company today they claim their system is AI featured and gives you smart experience
Even this sliding design is not new anymore
So would it stand out from a bunch of other phones on the market? Let's check out
That's it, the back of Magic 2, it features gradient red color, also has gradient blue and grey
I guess most girls would like red color, it feels just a sense of joy
But I personally would say this color is too plain and simple
It has this purple tone actually, so should be really beautiful under the light
Only three rear cameras in the back, a flash and the AI Vision text and the honor logo, nothing else
It doesn't have back fingerprint scanner so let's check the front
It's thick I gotta say bc it features this sliding design but the frame transition is natural and smooth
You see the R-shaped corners here make the phone feel round
To fulfill the full-screen display on the front, some manufacturers choose to move the front camera to the bottom, some choose to pop up or half hide it
While for Magic 2 it chooses to fully hide the camera by using this sliding design, not like vivo or OPPO, it slides the whole back, just like Mi Mix 3
What's hidden in the back?
It has three selfie cameras! So as they advertised, it's the first phone on the planet to feature 6 cameras!
You see these manufacturers today...
Before diving into the performance of the camera let's take a closer look at the sliding back
There are already some - if not too many, phones on the market feature sliding style, like vivo NEX, OPPO Find X
plus Mi Mix 3, and the phone Lenovo is going to release
So this time seems not a great time for Magic, at least it's not something new
So in order to attract more audiences, they claim their sliding back is intelligent
What's that?
Let me just show you the moment I slide
First is the 3D structure light unlock
That means you don't have to light up the screen, slide and unlock
You can unlock your phone with the black screen!
And check out the speed, it's pretty fast!
Lock
Unlock
See, you didn't even feel it's locked!
Second is you can slide to take selfie directly, not like many users complain about other phones the unsmooth process of switching cameras
Just slide to enter the front camera
See my beautiful face!
Slide again to enter the rear camera
You can customize the sliding features in settings as well
What you can choose? You can select Magic Live intelligent engine when you slide
You can get the voice assistant directly as you can see
Eva - Hello! Who are you?
YoYo: this question really stumbles me, I will learn and tell you (WTF?)
The name of the voice assistant is YoYo, as the officials told me it integrates big data voice service to it
Of course you can set more by yourself once you got this phone (Please check the link in the description to learn more about this phone)
The back camera features 24MP RGB monochrome image sensor, f1.8 aperture, the second camera has 16MP f1.8 and it adds a wide angle lens
The 16MP super wide angle lens can shoot landscape photos etc, the focus length is 17 um
Of course features intelligent scenarios recognition, it adjusts automatically based on the environment
More than 800 scenarios can be detected
Under the AI intelligent camera settings, it can post process the photos intelligently, it takes 2 photos at one time, one is AI processed, the other is original
You can choose whichever you like
Lastly let's check the specs, it packs magic charge 40W safe super quick charge, 15 minutes to charge 50%
The battery is 3500mAh, supports dual card dual LTE, also features GPU turbo 2.0
It coordinates the hardware and software to provide a better graphic processing ability
Sure has a better gaming or internet surfing experience
The chipset is Kirin 980, plus the Graphene cooling and AI dual frequency GPS navigation, it is a pretty important product for Honor
As what we got is a prototype and the system has not updated to the newest for reviewing standard
So we can't do an in depth review of the phone, like camera, gaming, battery review those
We'll update you about the phone in the first time once available
So please leave a comment below or follow me on my Weibo, ifeng Tech weibo to ask any questions about this phone
That's for today! See you next time!
