The HONOR MagicPad 4 has a 12.3-inch 3K OLED display with a 165 Hz refresh rate. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, with up to 16 GB of RAM and eight speakers. Its 4.8 mm-thick body houses a 10,100 mAh battery.
OLED display and flicker-reduction features
The 12.3-inch display can show billions of colour shades and reaches a peak brightness of up to 2,400 nits. Its 165 Hz refresh rate can make scrolling and games look smoother. Peak brightness alone, however, does not determine how readable the screen is in direct sunlight.
HONOR lists 5,280 Hz PWM dimming, flicker-free technology and a blue-light filter. PWM adjusts brightness by rapidly dimming the display; the term flicker-free does not by itself mean that a display does not use PWM. No specific blue-light filtering threshold is available.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and two memory configurations
The tablet uses a 3 nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor with third-generation Oryon cores and a maximum clock speed of up to 3.8 GHz. It is intended for demanding apps, multitasking and multimedia.
There are two configurations:
- 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage
- 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage
More RAM provides additional headroom when working with multiple apps, while the larger storage option offers more space for files and media.
Slim design, Wi-Fi 7 and USB-C
The MagicPad 4 is 4.8 mm thick and weighs 450 grams, making it easy to carry. Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7 with four antennas and Bluetooth 6.0. The USB-C port supports charging and data transfer.
Eight speakers and a desktop interface
The tablet has eight speakers with IMAX Enhanced certification and HONOR Spatial Audio technology. They can be used for watching films, playing games and listening to music.
It also supports a desktop interface mode, which makes the interface behave more like a computer. This may be more practical for work and creative tasks.
Battery and 66W charging
The 10,100 mAh battery supports 66W wired SuperCharge. Neither battery capacity nor maximum charging power alone indicates how long the tablet will last or how quickly it will charge. Battery life depends on how the tablet is used.
