Reviews for the Honor Magic 2

88.4% Honor Magic 2 Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Unfortunately, Honor does not officially sell or distribute the Honor 2 in Europe. Officially, Honor claims that the intelligence built into the Magic 2 was designed to make life easier for the Chinese, and it would not work at all in countries outside of China. However, there is something cooking, and Huawei's subsidiary is working on bringing the Magic 2 to other countries as well. We have decided to take a quick look at Honor's high-end smartphone.

The Honor Magic 2 is part of a small wave of early slider phones – or very late ones, if we include the handsets we owned back in 1999.

Honor Magic 2 review: A slider phone with premium design but you can’t buy it in India
Source: The Times of India English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Honor Magic 2 is a premium phone done right. Slider seems more of a novelty than a necessity in the phones right now. Unfortunately, the phone is not available in India and is unlikely to come in the near future. With capable phones such as Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Google Pixel 3 XL already around, we don’t think you should take the pain of buying this phone from China for the just slider. And if you like the slider, you may consider Oppo’s Find X.

Honor Magic 2 first look: A good phone with a bad design
Source: Trusted Reviews English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
There’s plenty that’s good about the Honor Magic 2: it’s fast, has a decent screen and fast charging. It’s a shame then that the design feels like it’s been built to generate headlines rather than offer a good user experience.

Honor Magic 2 Review: A Great Phone You Can’t Buy (Yet)
Source: Unbox English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Here’s the rub: as great as the Honor Magic 2 is, it’s still only available in China as it hasn’t officially made its way outside of Honor’s home country. Over there, the Magic 2 costs RMB 3,799 (Php 29K) for the base 6GB/128GB model, RMB 4,299 (Php 33K) for the 8GB/128GB model that we reviewed, and RMB 4,799 (Php 37K) for the 8GB/256GB model.

Honor Magic 2 Review: 10 Things You Need to Know
Source: Androidcommunity.com English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Our first glimpse of the Honor Magic 2 was back in August over at IFA 2018. Huawei’s sub-brand teased the phone with super slim bezels, a Kirin 980 processor, and a slide-out selfie camera. We knew it was coming soon and as a video teaser showed, it arrived with a slider camera design. It was teased several times before the official launch a couple of months ago, making an impression with a total of six cameras and that slide-out mechanism as revealed by a teardown analysis.

Looking back on the time we spent with the Honor Magic 2, it's clearly not a bad phone. It's got a very good display, battery life is plenty, and... we may sound like a broken record here, but... it's a slider!

The Magic 2 is a beautiful piece of hardware, and the slider function pulls double duty as a satisfying novelty and the enabler of that big, beautiful display.

Honor Magic 2 review: A phone full of new tricks
Source: Android Authority English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Unless you live in China, the Honor Magic 2 won't be easy to obtain but it's a phone that comes with some impressive hardware. With a total of six cameras, a slider design, a notch-less display, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor, the Honor Magic 2 is what the future of our smartphones should be.

The Magic 2 is quirky but it's not for everyone, and the software is a pain, but it shows you what a notch-free future looks like.

80% Honor Magic 2 Review: enchanting but mildly disappointing
Source: Slashgear English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Honor Magic 2 definitely has the “Wow!” factor of the Vivo NEX S and the beauty of the OPPO Find X. But it also does a lot better than either of those, providing competitive performance, a more robust mechanism, and an overload of choices. It definitely has the makings of being one of the best Android phones of the year.

First Shots: Honor Magic 2

We didn’t feel that the 16-megapixel f/2.0 front camera with 2x 2-megapixel f/2.4 depth sensors that are embedded on the sliding mechanism added better bokeh to shot. We’ll have to take more selfies this weekend to see if the two additional depth sensors are worth it.

Honor Magic 2 Unboxing, First Impressions: Love At First Slide
Source: Unbox English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
And that’s pretty much it for the Honor Magic 2. We’re still playing with it and will be giving you our full take on the device once we’re done. While Honor hasn’t officially announced if the phone is making its way to the Philippines, the phone was sent by the brand themselves so we know they’re at least thinking about bringing it over. The phone is priced at RMB 3,799 or around 29K without taxes for the 6GB/128GB version, so it’s a great budget flagship for people looking for an alternative to the usual suspects.

Honor Magic 2 initial review: Could it be magic now?
Source: Pocket Lint English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Overall, then, the Magic 2 sets out Honor's stall to be taken seriously as a flagship contender with its own ideas. Good ideas at that. The slider phone is an intelligent way of fixing the 'notch problem' and getting the most out of screen-to-body ratio.

只有较少的手机有很大的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
