In addition, the CEO says that the word "magic" in the name has more than one meaning.

This probably explains the sunset-inspired teaser for the phone too.

For those of you who don't know, the Golden hour occurs about 15 to 20 minutes before sunset or when the sun is between -6° and -4° below the horizon. It's believed to be the perfect time of the day to take photos.

In addition to the pink-gold hue on the horizon, the rest of the sky lights up in dark blue, hence where the names of the two colors the Magic3 series would offer - Blue Hour and Golden Hour.
