Honor has just sent out invites for a smartphone
launch event scheduled for December 13. The launch teaser for the event was
posted 2 days back on Chinese social media. As is typical with teasers, it
doesn’t explicitly state what product they will unveil at the event. But there
is a hint that can help us in our guesswork.
We think this might be an Honor Magic 2 launch
event. One of the things that made the Honor Magic stand out from the crowd
were its curved edges. The phone was curved on all 4 sides at the front. If you
look at the teaser, there is a big “4” in the background of the image. The
number in the teaser might be a hint to that. It doesn’t necessarily mean 4
curves but other things like 4 cameras are already present on devices like the
Honor 9i. Also, the company recently discounted the Honor Magic by 1000 Yuan
just a week back. But, we won’t get ahead of ourselves and leave it to you to
decide what surprise the event will bring us. The Honor Magic 2 would be a
sequel to the Honor Magic that never made it outside of China.
If you’re a hardcore smartphone enthusiast than you
might remember Honor launching the device on December 16 last year, although as
a concept device. The timing of the teaser is another hint. Honor’s new
exceptional device was not your conventional regular smartphone, it was ahead
of its time. It offered features like contextually aware AI, dual cameras, the
fastest charging graphene batteries, and curves when these things weren’t
mainstream.
Let’s see what new product Honor launches on
December 13. And if it is an Honor Magic 2, let’s hope it’s not China exclusive
this time.
