      Hi !
      If you can choose between mi mix 3 an honor magic 2 which one you would choose ?
      Knowing that I do some gaming and watch YouTube or write massages?
      I don't use the selfie camera very often.

        Nashan, 06 Nov 2019Sry dude.it doesn't support nm card like mate 20 Hi, you can always plug a card reader OTG, there are plenty to choose, USB 2 or 3, PD or a simple little one.

          I have the phone from release. Overall a good phone but I'm slowly disliking emui restrictions/battery optimisation

          Pros
          Screen to body ratio
          Very fast phone no major slow down in performance
          40w fast charger compared to other slider phones
          ____________________________________________________

          Lots of cons but don't be put off if it does not apply to you

          EMUI restrictions. They have a assistace called yoyo. You can disable it but you can't change it to Google assistance


          Notifications on certain apps won't work such as
          Ubell (smart door bell)
          Yoosee (CCTV camera notifications)
          I think this is down to the battery optimisation or down to the app developer


          Most banks like HSBC Barclays or Lloyds TSB will not work with Google pay but you can apply for a Monzo account and Google pay works with that.

          Camera quality is good but could be better but I'm being picky

          After moving from a iphone. The iPhone end to call also locks the screen on this phone if you end the call with the power button it won't lock the screen so I end up pocket dialing a lot of people

          ____________________________________________________

          Overall I am still very happy with the phone but I don't think my next phone will be a Huawei due to Google play services.

                          This should be the best phone right now. Full bezeless amoled screen, high end chipset, lengthy battery life with superfast charging, excellent camera back and front, dual 4g, and latest ui & software.

                          Posting this on a magic 2.

The Honor Magic 2 and Magic 2 3D have a NM (Nano Memory) card slot like the Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. GSMArena just forgot to mention it for some weird reason.

I think you're wise to wait until MWC as there are so many new phones expected to be announced.
