Huawei has no doubt, had a highly successful year this 2016, with statistics showing the company surpassed its yearly target of selling 140 million units of its phones this year. What better way to consolidate on that success than to begin the New year with a launch event in one of the most lucrative smartphone market which is also one of Huawei’s target market. Huawei’s Honor brand has teased via Twitter, that the company will be unveiling a brand new “epic” Honor smartphone at CES 2017 holding in Las Vegas on January 3.

The company was short of announcing the name of the smartphone but the teasers point to a device with dual cameras and that the phone’s camera acts perfectly in low light with an accompanying image purportedly captured by the phone. There is really nothing new about a dual camera smarphone as Huawei has already got the Honor 8 selling in the US with a dual camera setup. What is likely to drop is the innovative Honor Magic which was unveiled in China recently. While we can’t be very sure about that, it is likely that Huawei will introduce the Honor Magic in the US market where it will be affordable to many.

The Huawei Honor Magic has in its arsenal, a beautiful, sleek design with an hardware setup that makes it a powerful smartphone capable of withstanding the toughest of softwares. Apart from the dual cameras, the Honor Magic also comes with a dual curved display on both the front and back, giving it a unique look.  The Honor Magic sports a 5.09-inch AMOLED display with 2K resolution. The device also tag along the Kirin 950 chipset as well as 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage.The device supports NFC and has a fingerprint sensor embedded under the home button. There is a dual camera setup at the back sitting horizontally with the LED flash at the side. The device crams a 2900mAh battery onboard which is touted as being capable of achieving 90% charge in just 30 minutes.

In addition, Huawei is said to unveil the EMUI 5.0 at CES 2017 and coincidentally, the Honor Magic runs on EMUI 5 based on Android Nougat. The Honor Magic  is priced at 3699 Yuan (~$533) and that’s a very cheap price tag if you take into consideration the rich allure of design and specs it packs.

The post New Interesting Honor Phone Coming to CES 2017, Honor Magic? appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Honor Magic is one of the most anticipated phones for the year. The timing seems to be perfect, like the final act of the show before we pull the curtains on 2016. Launching in six days from now, more details are still showing up.

First is a possible pricing from online mall, JingDong who have the phone listed for ¥9999 (~$1447.62) which is really really on the high side. However, that’s not the official price but judging from the statement by analyst @Pan Jiutang in this article, we doubt the Honor Magic will sell for less than a $1000.

Next is an image of 16 possible configurations the Honor Magic might come with. There are a number of POSSIBLE configurations the Honor magic may have like dual cameras (rear and front) and curved edges, and some we think it is just not going to have such as a foldable display. One feature on the list we are sure of is the super fast charging battery. Other specs Huawei/Honor may throw in include water resistance, wireless charging, and artificial intelligence.

The Honor Magic is launching on Friday and is expected to feature a Kirin 950 SoC, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage and dual cameras on the front and rear but judging from the leaked image from last week, it seems it will have only a single camera in front. But if that image is a fake, I would prefer the Honor just having only a pair of dual cameras that can be used for the front too. Something similar to the Honor 7i’s camera design.
