The Magic 2 is a beautiful piece of hardware, with a triple selfie camera hidden behind a manual slider – which pulls double duty as a satisfying novelty and the enabler of a big, beautiful 6.39in AMOLED display.
Performance is rock solid – no surprise with the Kirin 980 inside – and the 45W superfast charging is very welcome, but so-so camera performance and software irritations thanks to the Chinese setup are enough to make us question whether the Magic 2 is worth the cost – or hassle – of importing.
