As for the specifications, the Honor Magic sports a 5.09-inch (1440x2560 pixels) Quad HD AMOLED 3D curved display and is powered by an octa-core Kirin 950 processor clocked at 1.8GHz paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The device runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with company’s own UI on top and offers dual SIM functionality. It is juiced by a 2900mAh battery with fast charging support. The Honor Magic claims to charge up to 70 per cent in 20 minutes of charging while 10 minutes of charging gives 40 per cent charge.
The smartphone is equipped with a 12MP dual rear camera with dual-tone flash. It also has an 8MP front facing camera. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, 3G, GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS/ A-GPS.
