This year seems to never end in terms of presentations and it is something we love. This time it was Honor who wanted to put the icing on the cake in a year in which the Huawei brand has climbed steps with great force and has managed to give a pulse to big ones like Samsung .
The ultimate goal is the search for autonomy without having to rely on external tools or agreements so this phone has decided to bet on "magic" in its new Honor Magic.
The new Honor Magic comes to turn the concept of Honor so far and creates an intelligent assistant that promises to fight closely against others such as Siri or Google. With assistant, fully curved screen and 4 cameras, your cover letter cannot be better.
Design
The design of this Honor Magic attracts from the first moment. Premium appearance with curved screen extended on all four sides, glass part and metal rim. Thanks to its AMOLED screen the gestures are quite fluid and the screen is very enjoyable, yes, the prints on this Display are a guaranteed claim.
Its body has measures of 146.1 x 69.9mm along with a thickness of 7.8 mm making it quite comfortable in hand with a weight of 149 grams. A compact phone in addition to being quite light with which to go everywhere because it is comfortable to carry.
The main physical button recovers traditional functions such as returning to previous apps or seeing which ones we have open if we press and hold. In addition, it will act as a fingerprint reader along with all those functions, a good combination in a single button.
On the front, the double camera with facial recognition stands out and the bright glass back includes a double camera perfectly integrated into the chassis.
screen
The Honor Magic display has a size of 5.09 inches and a WQHD 2K resolution of 2, 560 x 1, 440 pixels on a glittery AMOLED panel with a density of 577 pixels . Surprised to have incorporated a Display of a reduced size compared to the current trend and still have extended the resolution with a great panel. The fact of not having frames, converts the front part into any screen thanks to its curved finishes.
Its oval panel introduces a new air in the concept screen and looks shiny thanks to AMOLED, making a Display quite soft to the touch. The appearance of a screen that is even curved in the upper and lower areas and that is a joy when we want to interact with it is striking. You will have the best concentrated in just 5 inches although if you like to see everything on a somewhat larger monitor, miss a few inches more.
performance
In the performance part we find a powerful processor, the Hisilicon Kirin 950 Octa core (4 x 2.3 GHz Cortex-A72 & 4 x 1.8 GHz Cortex A53). It is accompanied by a main memory of 4 GB of RAM with which to get the most out of your phone. The graphic part has as its core a Mali-T880 MP4 GPU with which to enjoy the best graphics on your screen. Despite its potential, it is missing that it has not incorporated the most recent Kirin 960 model with which it would have raised its level remarkably.
The magic of Honor Magic
The software part is one of the most outstanding of this terminal that incorporates Magic Live, a system that covers it completely and that does not consist solely of a personalization layer. This is its magic part and it is that Honor decides to incorporate its own artificial intelligence system that has a project to grow and stick with others like Google Now.
This system has been integrated from the Android Marsmallow version of Android 6.0, failure to incorporate the latest Android Nougat version.
In this magical part we find functions that add value to your phones right away. It includes sensors around the phone that allows you to turn off the screen when placing it in some place or pocket and even has an infrared emission camera with which to recognize the user and turn on the Display automatically.
$config[ads_text5] not foundAnother of its functions is the FaceCode Intelligent Recognition with which messages or any notification is shown only to those who have previously registered their face.
With this system, Honor seeks to give us intelligent functions that will expand over time. In principle you can detect what we are talking about, for example a movie, and suggest data about it . You can show us the entrance automatically when you go to the cinema or theater, data of a taxi when we ask for it, automatic package tracking number or suggestions when we drive . A whole host of accessories to our day to day that seeks to compete with the most powerful assistants of the moment.
Camera
In the photographic section we find data that also make this Honor Magic stand out. We talk about double rear and front camera, yes yes, ahead we also have doubles match.
We talked about a 12 MP rear main double camera in both cases with an aperture of f2.2 with which you will need the support of the Dual tone Flash. It incorporates autofocus system per phase or PDAF with which to get faster and sharper shots. With this camera we can record up to a maximum resolution of Full HD 1080p at 30 fps.
The front secondary cameras have a resolution of 8 MP each and its aperture is f / 2.0, something better than the rear and that will give you good selfies even when the light does not have much presence. These front cameras will have the special function of facial recognition, something that improves our privacy.
Storage
The storage of this Honor Magic has a size of 64 GB internal, somewhat less for the software part. The bad news is that it does not support external expansion with microSD so you will end up anchored to the serial space and servers in the cloud.
Connectivity
In the area of connectivity of the Honor Magic we find these characteristics:
- 4G (TDD-LTE) / 4G (TDD-LTE / FDD-LTE) / 4G (TDD-LTE / FDD-LTE)
- 3G (TD-SCDMA) / 3G (WCDMA) / 3G (CDMA2000)
- 2G (GSM) / 2G (GSM) / 2G (CDMA 1X)
- Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, Hotspot, dual-band, WiFi Direct
- A-GPS, GLONASS
- USB-C
Drums
The battery of the Honor Magic has a size of 2, 900 mAh, somewhat below what we expected in the case of a screen with a high resolution, although advantageous for such a size. The composition of this battery has been made with a special molecular structure that allows you to incorporate a fast charging system giving you up to 90% in just half an hour.
Price
The price to change this Honor Magic is placed at about 510 euros, a price that aims to collect all the new features of a phone that will mark a before and after for the company. At the moment this magical phone stays in China but hopefully they will be able to redirect it outside.
conclusion
With fresh air, the Honor Magi c comes to tell us that the brand is not limited and that it wants to continue climbing until it gains positions as well as its sister Huawei is doing. At the moment it is driven with an attractive and different design, something to be grateful for seeing the repetitiveness of the market. Its shiny body makes it really comfortable to have it in hand.
At the moment this Honor Magic due to its Magic Live software must remain in the starting area and we will not see it for closer territories but it is not ruled out that it begins to create international ties so that its software also spreads outside.
Powerful performance leads this terminal as it could not be otherwise, powerful hardware for a system that wants to be our daily assistant. Complete photographic system as nothing more than 4 cameras and sensors that seek to adapt to our actions. Design where purely the curvature of an endless screen that shines with desire in an AMOLED panel stands out.
Its biggest weak point is the battery, too small because although with a reduced size a resolution will consume enough. The fast charging system seeks to reduce this impact. Also in performance could have gone something further with the newest.
The Honor Magic is a good cover letter for what the brand at the hands of Huawei plans to do from now on. Expecting to be able to have it outside of China, for now, we just have to face our hands and see what the next year will bring us Honor.
