Honor Magic 2, integrated with 9 black technologies (40W Max SuperCharge, Butterfly Multi-Track sliding Mechanism, 3D-Portrait Mode, AI dual band intelligent GPS, Kirin 980 processor), has attracted the attention of technologists and customers once it's released.

Design
In terms of operation, the slider mechanism for Honor Magic 2 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is almost identical: the screen moves down and the camera pops up. But by contrast, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has more functions. Different applications can produce different sliding movements, and the sound effects of sliding can be customized with their own sound. Based on this, Honor lacks customization in this respect.
Although using the same slide screen design, the two smartphones have different looks. Some people said they don't like small loudspeaker on the top of Honor Magic 2, and the antenna belt is also on both sides. While Xiaomi's top area looks cleaner and it has narrower bezel.
Display screen
There is no big difference between the two phones on the display screen. Both smartphones are euqipped with a 6.39-inch AMOLED screen with rich color and brightness.
Camera
At the previous Xiaomi launch event, Xiaomi said the Mix 3 was better than the iPhone, because it won a high score on the DxOMark. But there are also some people disagree with it, as they think it's not very smooth when running the camera application.
Compared to the Xiaomi Mi MIx 3's dual front cameras with 24MP main camera and 2MP sub-camera), the Honor Magic 2 is equipped with front tri-cameras, namely the 16MP front selfie main camera and two 2MP sub-cameras.
As for the rear camera, Honor Magic 2, like Huawei's Mate 20 pro, has three cameras, a 16MP main camera, a 24MP monochromatic sensor and a wide-angle lens with a focal length of 17mm.
While the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is equipped with dual rear cameras (12MP f/1.8, 12MP tele). In this aspect, the Honor Magic 2'camera is better than that of Xiaomi Mi Mix 3.
In other ways, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 also supports Qi wireless charging function, While Honor doesn't have. However, the Honor Magic 2 supports in-screen fingerprint unlocking technology, as well as Micro SD slot, while Xiaomi still adopts a traditional rear-fingerprint sensor, and has no Micro SD slot.
All in all, as the new sliding screen smartphones, both Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 and Huawei Honor Magic 2 are possible to lead the trend of the smartphone market in the future. If you asked me which one is better, there is no absolute answer for it. But one thing is that the Huawei Honor Magic 2 performs better in camera and fingerprinter unlock. Despite this, there is no other big differences between them.
