Honor Magic 2: unboxing and hands-on first look

Aluminum chassis, ceramic back, pop-up design: this is the new Honor Magic 2, one of the first in a new class of futuristic all-screen devices with practically no bezel. Excited? So are we, so we rushed to unbox the new Magic 2 and spend some time with the handset.

Inside the box you have the phone of course and it comes with a beautiful gradient finish. There are three different color gradients, we have the blue one, and there is a red gradient and a black one as well. On the back of the phone you have a ceramic cover and this is a material that is not as easily scratched as glass, but can still shatter if you drop the phone, so it is something you might want to protect and that’s why we’re glad to see a basic silicone case in the box.
