Earlier today, Huawei took the wraps off the much anticipated Honor Magic with an interesting body design – thin & curved edges and dual rear cameras. It sports a 5.09-inch AMOLED display with 2560 x 1440 pixels (Quad HD) screen resolution, pixel density of 577ppi and 3D curved glass (front and rear).
Under the hood, the Huawei Honor Magic runs a special Honor Magic Live OS, based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS and uses a special type of fast charging – Huawei Magic Power, that powers it from 0% to 40% in about 10 minutes. It has Dual SIM slots, and a fingerprint sensor in the home button.
The dual rear camera setup of smartphone resembles the Mate 9, Honor 8 and Huawei P9, having a standard sensor alongside a monochrome one, to improve photo quality and low-light shots. The device also uses an array of sensor and algorithm (Al) to improve on users experience.
