Huawei Honor Magic 2

Overview

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.

Love a weirdo phone? The Honor Magic 2 is outwardly experimental in a manner you don't see too often. What results is a notch-less look and a built-in stress toy, its slider mechanism. Given how useful this screen style is for games, it's a shame the...
