After a long wait, a generation of classic machines, Glory Magic, welcomed its successor, Glory Magic2. Because of the release time and modeling design, Glory Magic2, Xiaomi MIX 3 and Lenovo's Z5 Pro were nicknamed as the three brothers of the slider. So can the new generation of honor that inherits the name of Magic Magic2 bring about the magic miracle in those days?
Extreme screen proportion
The biggest thing about the slide design of Glory Magic2 is that it has an extremely high screen share. Glory officially named it Magic Full Screen, echoing the name Magic2.
The biggest advantage of the sliding cover design is that while trying to shorten the width of the forehead and chin, the front camera and other components can be well arranged in it, without all kinds of ugly bangs, and can give people a sense of shock and immersion when using.
Compared with the very impressive front, the back design of Glory Magic2 is "standard". The overall design basically continues the current Huawei/Glory family style. Different from Magic's "eight curved surface" design, Magic2 adopts a 3D curved surface design and optical nano vacuum coating process, so that the entire gradient color fuselage looks beautiful and has a good texture.
Glory Magic2 is equipped with a three camera combination that has been common in the family. There is a sign of "AI VISION" below the camera, indicating that AI photography is the main focus this time, and the glory logo is still arranged at the lower left corner of the fuselage.
Compared with the front magic full screen, there is also a fashionable gradient design on the back, especially the gradient red we got, which can be said to be very coquettish. For users who are very picky about the color of the body, Glory Magic2 also takes into account.
Dish type five track sliding screen structure
Different from the slide design of Xiaomi MIX 3 and Lenovo Z5 Pro, the disc type five track slide screen structure design of Glory Magic2 does not try to make the screen as thin as possible, but the front and rear parts are more symmetrical.
Whether the screen is on or off, this magic full screen is still quite shocking, even though we have seen similar designs. However, Magic2 is not as radical as Lenovo Z5 Pro. There is still a hole reserved on the top of the screen for the earpiece to make sound. It is OK to answer and make calls without a slide cover.
The conventional front camera+two infrared cameras and earphones hidden under the slide cover, of which the top 3D photosensitive version is equipped with 3D bionic photosensitive technology for unlocking, while the ordinary version is for unlocking the face.
However, compared with other models, the author is more amazed at the back of the sliding cover of the Glory Magic2. The mirror design is much better than the other two models in terms of texture and appearance, and this detail deserves praise.
Quality of the screen
The Glory Magic2 screen is still our familiar 6.39 inch AMOLED screen, and the fingerprint under the screen is naturally not absent. As for the quality of this screen, first of all, the highest brightness is about 500 nit in manual mode; In the automatic mode, there is a burst mode similar to Samsung, and the local maximum brightness can reach about 720nit.
In the objective parameter part, the color temperature is about 6700k in the standard mode; In terms of color gamut, the sRGB color gamut covers 92.2% (according to the data tested later, we can know that this screen can achieve 100% coverage of the sRGB color gamut, which may be due to a small problem in the engineering machine's tuning or error caused by the display mode); In terms of color standard, the average Delta E is 3.9, and the highest Delta E is 5.8.
In the bright mode, the color temperature is about 7500k, which is slightly cold; In terms of color gamut, the sRGB color gamut covers 138.5%, and the DCI-P3 color gamut covers 99.1%; In terms of color standard, the average Delta E is 5.2, and the maximum Delta E is 7.5.
Android's strongest performance
In terms of SoC, Glory Magic2 naturally adopts the latest Kirin 980. The SoC adopts the most advanced 7nm process at present, which holds 6.9 billion transistors. In terms of architecture, Kirin 980 adopts ARM Cortex-A76 architecture, which is the first SoC in the world to adopt this architecture; It is composed of two A76 with a dominant frequency of 2.6GHz, two A76 with a dominant frequency of 1.92GHz, and four A55 with a dominant frequency of 1.8GHz. It has an eight core design (2+2+4), including high-low multi gear design, to meet the performance requirements in different scenarios and improve the energy consumption ratio.
In terms of CPU, Kirin 980 can be said to have the strongest performance in Android at present. The new architecture and the latest manufacturing process have laid the foundation for its good performance. Kirin 980 is also the SoC with a multi-core score of 10000 points in Android at present, catching up with Apple's A series.
In terms of GPU, since the rise of Kirin 970, this time Kirin 980 can be said to have achieved the bucket performance of the flagship SoC. It is no longer held back by graphics. Some test projects can still slightly lead Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and Samsung Exynos 9810.
More test items can be found at us Love to play computer games Of Running points library Query, it is worth mentioning that in the later system update, Glory Magic2 gets a new option of performance mode. As for how powerful this performance mode can make the Kirin 980 play, you can check the previous The Strength of Jiefang Kirin 980! EMUI 9.0 Performance Mode Measurement 。
Photo performance of three shots
Magic2's three camera combination is 16 million color (IMX498)+24 million black and white (IMX550)+16 million ultra wide angle (OV16885). It is a glorious 16 million+24 million old formula, adding an ultra wide angle. The overall photography experience, focusing and imaging are satisfactory, and all kinds of additional functions are available. There is nothing to be picky about in terms of functionality.
In places with sufficient light, the imaging effect of Magic2 is satisfactory, with good white balance and discrimination. If there is anything that makes people feel "insufficient", of course, the color of Leica is not available on Magic2.
The lens module has a good control of glare. In most cases, the words on various luminous plaques can be seen clearly, which keeps good performance.
In the night scene, the performance is remarkable: the white balance is relatively accurate, the noise control is good, and the discrimination is good. The appearance of the proof is more pleasing to the eye. The window paintings and road signs in the main part of the picture also have a good restoration, and various signs in the background also have sufficient details to show, which can be said to basically meet the needs of most people to take photos.
The performance of double zoom is also very good. Although Magic2 is not equipped with a telephoto lens, the imaging after double zoom is stable in both day and night, and can be used generously.
Compared with other improvements, the newly added super wide-angle lens makes Magic2 more playable. It can be seen that the imaging of this ultra wide angle lens is not inferior to that of the main camera, but the shooting content is greatly increased, and it will perform well when taking landscape photos and group photos. At the same time, using this super wide-angle lens, you can also shoot some special scenes, which is more interesting to play.
Endurance and charging
We still use the 2-hour high intensity test for endurance, that is, half an hour of games, half an hour of video, half an hour of WiFi Internet access, and half an hour of 4G Internet access. After the 2-hour endurance test, the Glory Magic2 consumed 18% of the power, leaving 82%, which is similar to the performance of other flagship models.
In terms of charging, the machine is equipped with a 40W super fast charge of Rheinland Safety Certification 2.0, and the measured maximum power can reach 36W at 20% power. This is an excellent tradition inherited from the original Magic, and can be said to be a major killer of Magic2.
From the charging curve, we can see that it takes only 30 minutes to charge up to 85% of the 40W super fast charge, and it takes less than an hour to fully charge, which is much shorter than the current average time of various fast charges. The improvement of charging experience is not trivial.
Magic UI 2.0
Inheriting the system of a generation of Magic, Glory Magic2 is not equipped with the common Huawei/Glory EMUI, but with Magic UI 2.0 based on Android 9.0. However, compared with the dazzling AI system performance of Magic in those years, the performance of Magic 2 is not so "surprising". The overall UI design style is very similar to that of EMUI. I believe that familiar users will be able to get started easily, and the settings everywhere are more reasonable. The biggest difference should be the Magic live intelligent engine called out by the slider, which is known as the intelligent life body YOYO.
As for why Magic2's performance is not so "surprising", it is because with the update of the system, various intelligent functions built into the Magic system in those years have become more convenient and easy to use on Magic2, and the overall experience has also improved to a higher level. However, the sense of surprise is not so strong because people have contacted more. However, Magic is one of the earliest AI enabled models. We are also looking forward to what new AI based functions Magic2 will bring in in the future updates.
summary
Compared with the magic of the Magic generation, the Glory Magic2 is more stable and solid, and has been strengthened in all aspects: the true flagship SoC Kirin 980, the magic full screen, a significantly improved three camera combination, excellent endurance and 40W super fast charge. With the AI system that is intelligent enough, Magic2 still has many selling points, and the starting price of 3799 may make Magic2 another classic product like its predecessor.
