Full Specifications
Much like theMate 20 Pro, you’re looking at a newKirin 980chipset, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage. This all powers a 6.39-inchAMOLED screen(2,340 x 1,080), lacking the notch seen on many otherHonorand HUAWEI phones released this year. So if you wanted the Mate 20 Pro’s horsepower in a different package, this might be for you.
The phone also packs six (!) cameras, with three on the back and three on the front, though the rear camera setup differs from all other triple camera phones released this year. While theP20 Prooffered a monochrome/standard/telephoto setup and the Mate 20 series has a telephoto/standard/ultra wide trio, the HONOR Magic 2 delivers a 24MP f/1.8 monochrome camera, a 16MP f/1.8 standard shooter, and a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera (17mm). In other words, you won’t find a telephoto camera here.
The front cameras aren’t quite as spectacular as the main cameras, featuring a 16MP f/2.0 shooter and two 2MP f/2.4 snappers. This setup enables high-level 3D facial recognition for 3D Qmoji (and presumably for portrait mode and security features).
Speaking of security, the device also offers face unlocking (via IR technology, according to promotional material) and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
All of this is powered by a 3,400mAh battery, which is smaller than the P20 series and Mate 20 family. Fortunately, HONOR is softening the blow with 40-watt fast-charging tech, allowing the phone to hit 50 percent capacity in just 15 minutes, and 85 percent in 30 minutes.
The HONOR Magic 2 doesn’t have a headphone jack, so you’ll need to use the dongle included in the box or switch to Bluetooth.
