After announcing the Honor Play  for the global market, the company's president surprised us all by teasing the successor to the original  Honor Magic . The latter was released back in December 2016 and never got a follow-up until now, of course. The successor is called Magic 2 and the device didn't get a proper announcement - George Zhao just teased some of the key features. The most noticeable one is the so-called FullView display - no notches, no big ugly chins - just display. And as you may have figured out by yourselves, the device will have slide-out cameras as there's no room for one on the front. And yes, it looks a lot like Oppo's  Find X . However, we don't know if the back cameras - assuming they are at least two - will be attached to the slider or will be placed on the back like most smartphones. But by looking at the size of the slider, it's probably safe to assume that all cameras will go in there. Another interesting thing we've notice

The HTC U12 Life has come to Berlin and soon will head out to the world at the end of September. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo, though not Android One. The back of the phone features two distinct textures – smooth acrylic glass and horizontal lines etched into the glass. The end result is reminiscent of the Pixel phones, but has its own look too. Two color options will be on offer: Moonlight Blue and Twilight Purple. Around the front is a 6-inch 18:9 screen, the same size as the U12+ screen. It has a 1,080 x 2,160px resolution so it’s not quite as sharp, but the good news is that HTC held strong and didn’t add a notch. Unlike the U12+, however, the U12 Life does have a 3.5mm jack. There are two things important in Life – photography and battery life. For the latter, the phone comes equipped with a 3,600mAh power cell. There’s no fast charging on board, however, there’s just a regular 10W charger in the retail box. At least it charges over USB-C. For photography, the HTC U12 Li
