Honor Magic 2 3D debuts with 3D camera, upgraded specs

The Honor Magic 2 3D is an improved variant. This innovative version of the Honor Magic 2 that was announced previous year offers superior security and privacy. This one now comes with Face Unlock that takes advantage of the dual 2MP depth-sensing selfie cameras. The Honor team has decided to do hardware energize instead of making a completely new phone. It makes more sense to do either a software or hardware update. Officially called as the Honor Magic 2 3D, this device now uses a 3D light camera for facial recognition. 

It’s not obvious if the innovative sensor makes use of time of flight technology (TOF) or structure of light but it could be the latter. The phone runs on Kirin 980 chipset so it will perform improved than the original Magic 2.

The Honor Magic 2 3D still remains as a mid-range flagship but it now comes with 8GB of RAM and 512GB onboard storage space. Other specs and features are comparable to the first version of the phone. This one though adds graphene cooling as described.

You can gain of the Android smartphone for CNY 5799 ($863) in China. The price is previously premium but we understand why–high RAM and big storage capacity plus 3D camera.

We’re not sure if various people will be willing to buy something this luxurious from a Chinese OEM that is usually known for reasonable phones. There is no mention if the device will also roll out outside China.
