Today, Honor is holding an event to launch Honor Magic 2 at the Diamond Stadium in Beijing. Well, the launch is just going to happen in the next few hours, but still, Honor is busy teasing some of its specs. Recently, Honor has revealed that Magic 2 sliding design won’t hinder it from using a protective case. Honor will bring its own protective case which will not effect its sliding feature and though will not block slider’s normal flow.

Today, Zhao Ming, Honor’s president released a photo of Honor Magic 2 in blue color. Indeed, it looks pretty impressive with sliding design and even does not affect the use of a protective case. As of now, we almost know everything about Magic 2, thanks to all leaks, rumors and official teasers. Still, there are some details which are under wraps like pricing, availability, and others.

Due to its sliding design, it is not possible to use the old primitive cases that we use for the ordinary design phones, it needs a different kind of protective case. Honor has designed a dedicated case with an opening under it facilitating the sliding design. Moreover, Honor will give away the new protective case for free while buying Honor Magic 2.

Additionally, as per listing on TENAA, Honor Magic 2 is all set to launch with HiSilicon Kirin 980 Soc and featuring a bezel-less design. It will be coupled with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB inbuilt storage.
