Όas expected, Honor proceeded to unveil it Honor Magic 2 in China, a device we saw up close, albeit fleetingly, in the hands of the company president during interviews for his presentation Honor 8X in Prague.
The company followed the example of Xiaomi to be able to offer an all-screen front, ie adopting a mechanism for dragging the entire facade so as to reveal the triple front camera. The screen has a size 6.39 ”in AMOLED panel and with FHD + resolution (2340 x 1080), occupying almost 100% of the front, while underneath it is hidden the optical fingerprint sensor.
Honor Magic 2 has dual front camera 16MP + 2MP + 2MP to support high quality operation 3D Face ID, such as the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The back also has a triple camera 16MP Ultra Wide + 16MP RGB + 24MP Monochrome with image stabilization system AIS.
In general, thanks to the processor Kirin 980 SoC with the built-in dual NPU, Honor Magic 2 offers Artificial Intelligence solutions to almost everything related to the device, from the behavior of the applications and the battery, to the aids and enhancements it gives to the cameras. A new entry in the field of Artificial Intelligence is the YOYO digital assistant, which Honor describes as a “an all-in-one system that can read the user's thinking and possess distinct machine learning capabilitiesς ”.
Also noteworthy is the 3400mAh battery that comes with a 40W Super Charge charger for 50% charging in 15 minutes.
