Honor Magic 2 with six cameras, in-display fingerprint sensor.

The screen is a 6.4” OLED panel with Full HD+ resolution in 19:9 ratio with a curved 2.5D glass on top. On the inside, we see the latest chipset by HiSilicon, coupled with either 6 GB RAM or 8 GB RAM. The storage is either 128 GB or 256 GB, but Honor skipped on the microSD slot.

The camera department is intriguing. There is a main 16 MP snapper, 24 MP Black & White monochrome sensor, and a 16 MP ultra wide-angle camera. With the lack of a telephoto lens, the Magic 2 goes in a completely different category from the other two camera beasts by Huawei – the P20 Pro with the telephoto camera, but no wide-angle lens, and the Mate 20 Pro that ditched the monochrome sensor.

The front setup is also unorthodox – the 16 MP selfie shooter is accompanied by two 2 MP depth sensors. There is also an IR face scanner for 3D Face Unlock through a depth-sensing bionic lens. If you don’t want to swipe the phone and reveal this whole setup, there is an under-display fingerprint scanner for all the security you might need.

Huawei was always about fast-charging, and the Magic 2 comes with 40W capabilities (10V/4A). It is called Magic Charge, and Honor claims it can charge 50% of the 3,400 mAh power cell in 15 minutes and reach 85% in the next quarter hour. It uses the USB-C port that doubles as an audio port since there is no 3.5 mm jack.

Connectivity includes Bluetooth 5 and dual-band GPS. One entirely new feature is Yoyo – a virtual assistant that provides “all-in-one smart-living enabler possessed with mind-reading and machine learning capabilities.”
