The Osmo Mobile supports smartphones measuring from This covers most phones currently available, from the iPhone SE to the iPhone 6s Plus and Android phones of similar sizes. Please note that actual compatibility might be affected by accessories attached to your phone.
Certain form factors including side button layout should also be considered. Step 1, Activating the Intelligent Battery. Before powering on the Osmo Mobile, insert the battery into Osmo Mobile and connect the unit to a power source using the dedicated charging cable for battery activation. Power on the unit and pair it with your mobile device. Instructions will be shown in DJI GO automatically to guide you through the registration and activation process.
Osmo Mobile utilizes Bluetooth 4.
Though Bluetooth 4. ActiveTrack is available in all modes except Portrait Mode due to limited horizontal camera field of view FOV when the phone is held upright. When shooting in Portrait Mode, a subject might move out of the frame easily and leave no time for the gimbal to adjust its orientation. Tracking speed cannot be set.
The Osmo Mobile will adjust its movement according to the speed of the object, so you do not need to set its speed according to how you use it. ActiveTrack is not compatible with certain phones i. When using Osmo Mobile, the recording of sound is handled by your phone other than the gimbal system. For such reason, we redesigned the 3.
The Osmo Mobile uses the same handle design as the Osmo.
Unlike other Osmo cameras, tapping the trigger three times does not rotate the phone. Instead, it switches your phone from front camera to rear camera. By holding the trigger then moving the joystick upward or downward, you can control the digital zoom. Please note that image quality will be affected as you zoom in digital way. The Osmo Mobile is sold as a complete unit. The gimbal is therefore non-detachable. You can set parameters manually in the Camera Settings menu. This function is only supported on iOS devices.
The DJI GO app will automatically select the optimal video resolution base on the performance and specs of your phone. Maximum video resolution and still image size will be limited by the hardware specs, for example the iPhone 6s can shoot video at 4K resolution while iPhone 6 can only shoot FHD video. You can swap whichever strap you get for any standard 46mm watch strap that suits your taste. The watch has a 5ATM water resistance rating, which means buyers won't have to worry about jumping into a pool or tracking a swim.
Tipping the scales at 41g, we found the 46mm Honor Magic Watch 2 comfortable to wear and not too big either. We quite liked the bevelled edges, especially the outer rim with a tachymeter scale. This design touch gives the Honor smartwatch some identity and distinguishes it from the generic black glass look of a host of its rivals. Just like with the Huawei Watch GT 2, only the larger variant has this design touch, while the smaller one is more understated.
There are two buttons on the right, positioned at angles. These buttons provide good tactile feedback when pressed. However, they could have been a tad smaller. Due to their size and positioning, they registered accidental presses a few times.
The upper one acts as the home button and has a red ring for the sake of differentiation. The lower button can be customised to perform a variety of tasks such as opening your contacts, accessing call logs, checking notifications, and a lot more. Overall, we feel that Honor has not cut any corners when it comes to the build quality of the Honor Magic Watch 2, and the design also feels premium in an understated way.
It will be up to buyers to choose between the sporty look of the 46mm variant, or the more compact and sober 42mm option.
We'll talk more about this later. On the hardware front, the 46mm variant packs a 1. The display is crisp and the brightness is surprisingly good. We didn't face any issues with content visibility even while using the device in broad daylight. However, the company has not revealed the amount of RAM that this device has. The internal storage can be used for music files, and it takes around seconds to transfer a low-quality track of about 3MB size.
The Honor Magic Watch 2 features a mAh battery and is claimed to last up to 14 days on a single charge. It supports Bluetooth 5. The 46mm Honor Magic Watch 2 is also capable of receiving calls and playing music through its onboard speaker as well as wireless headsets. Honor Magic Watch 2 comes with support for 24x7 heart rate tracking and sleep monitoring features. The watch is also capable of measuring VO2 Max levels. Sleep and heart rate tracking are enabled by default, but stress monitoring has to be activated manually after taking a test.
Lite OS does not support third-party apps, which means you cannot download any new apps. Notifications from third-party apps like WhatsApp and Gmail are displayed on the watch but you can only tap on them to see messages. You can't view media files, listen to voice messages, or reply to a message using text or audio directly from the watch. We noticed during our test period that the Honor Magic Watch 2 occasionally stopped showing notifications from certain apps such as Gmail, and then displayed a barrage of them all at once. On the personalisation front, you can choose from the watch faces that come preinstalled and some that can be downloaded.
The selection available isn't particularly diverse, but we noticed that more watch faces are slowly being added. You need to install the Huawei Mobile Services app separately to download more watch faces, but it kept crashing on our smartphone. Interestingly, the Honor Magic Watch 2 product page on the Honor Global website says that users can create custom watch faces based on their phone's wallpaper or a photo, but we didn't see that feature in the app. There are a few other UI-related issues as well. Swiping up from the bottom of the home screen brings up the notifications list.
A downward swipe opens the quick settings panel, which is populated by five controls for the Do Not Disturb mode, the Find My Phone function, alarms, the display sleep time, and settings.
Swiping right from the left edge doubles as a back gesture and takes you to the previous page. Swiping left on the home screen brings up dedicated pages for heart rate tracking, stress monitoring, location and weather information, music playback controls, and the step counter. However, you can't swipe up or down on any of these pages to see more information or controls. On the bright side, Lite OS includes almost all the essential functions of a smartwatch and fitness tracker.
Aside from the wide variety of fitness tracking modes, you can make or receive calls and play music on the watch itself or through a connected phone or wireless headset. You can also adjust the strength of vibration alerts, which is a neat touch. The flashlight feature is another useful addition. The layout of activity data on the activity records page is quite clean and intuitive. Design-wise, Lite OS is clean and gets a lot of things right, especially if you are a fitness-oriented person. Honor Magic Watch 2 also offers a stress monitoring feature, but it is a hit or miss.
We tested the Honor Magic Watch 2 for over three weeks, and our experiences were mostly positive. There is no always-on display mode, but you can keep the display on for a maximum of 20 minutes. While this is disappointing, you can choose between an analog and digital static display that will remain visible on showing only the time. We quite liked the minimalist look of the analog option. However, Huawei warns that enabling a static watch face will cut the battery life in half, and that increasing the screen-on time with the regular watch face will also take a toll.
The ambient light sensor did a good job of adjusting brightness based on the external lighting conditions. We noticed that the Honor Magic Watch 2 is not particularly zippy and takes some time to respond to touch inputs when it wakes up. The accuracy of swipe gesture recognition needs some work, and UI fluidity could have been better as well. We took three strolls of 1km each on different paths to test the device's tracking accuracy. The Honor Magic Watch 2 measured 1. When it comes to step counting, the smartwatch logged steps on average over three trial walks, while we manually counted 1, steps.
These tracking results are good for a smartwatch in this price bracket.
