Honor Magic 2 surfaces on TENAA; may come with Kirin 980 SoC, up to 8GB RAM

-


At this year's IFA technology conference in Berlin, Huawei sub-brand Honor teased its Honor Magic 2 smartphone. The flagship device, which has an almost bezel-free display (thanks to a slider mechanism similar to that of Oppo Find X) is expected to be unveiled on October 31. With days to go before the official launch, Honor Magic 2 has surfaced on Chinese certification agency .TENAA's portal, hinting at its key specifications.

 If the TENAA listing is to be believed, Honor Magic 2 will be powered by Huawei's top-of-the-line Kirin 980 SoC, paired with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage. Coming to the display, the Magic 2 will likely have a 6.39-inch FullHD+ (1080×2340 pixels resolution) panel with almost no bezels, and an in-display fingerprint sensor hidden underneath. The smartphone will almost certainly run Android Pie out-of-the-box, with EMUI 9.0, the latest version of Huawei's custom UI overlay, baked on top.

 Talking about cameras, the TENAA listing mentions Honor Magic 2 as having a triple camera system at the back, comprised of a 16-megapixel sensor, a 24-megapixel unit, and a 16-megapixel lens. A dual camera system is expected on the front, made up of one 16-megapixel sensor and a 2-megapixel unit. As one would expect from a flagship smartphone in 2018, Honor Magic 2 will have all modern connectivity options (ranging from 4G VoLTE to USB Type-C), but sadly no 3.5mm audio port.

 A smartphone with flagship-grade such as the above needs a powerful battery to back them all up. To that end, Honor Magic 2 is expected to have a 3,400mAh battery (which is barely average), with support for Huawei's new 'Magic Charge' fast-charging standard.


Interestingly, some hands-on pictures of the soon-to-be-launched Honor Magic 2 have also popped up online, giving us a clear idea of what the Honor Magic 2 will look like. The images, most likely promotional shots, show off Honor Magic 2's bezel-less screen and triple camera system at the back.

5G launch: The next-generation wireless network technology 5G is slated to be rolled out at the end of 2019. But ahead of its worldwide roll-out, researchers have revealed the sheer vulnerability in the network that allows for spying of data over airwaves. According to news agency ANI, a research paper from the Technical University of Berlin, ETH Zurich and SINTEF Digital Norway details the privacy threat with the 5G network. The vulnerability affects Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) that ensures your phone securely communicates with cellular networks. It allows hackers or data thieves to steal information from 5G airwaves such as the number of calls made, text messages sent, and so on. Although the researchers tested the threat on an existing 4G network, the attacks can apply to 5G networks once they are available. The threat is in contradiction to the protection 5G was supposed to provide against International Mobile ...
