Honor Magic4 Pro in for review

We met up with the Honor Magic4 Pro earlier this year in Barcelona, but the phone was China-exclusive at the time. No more – the Magic4 Pro is now starting its global journey and we have it at the office and in line for a review.

Let’s get started with unboxing. The Honor Magic4 Pro comes well-equipped with every accessory you’d need – a charger, USB cable, SIM tool, and a case. This charger is exceptional. It’s Honor’s 100W brick and it can go from 1% to 100% in just 30 minutes.

So the Magic4 Pro will charge lightning-fast, and we expect it to keep a charge for a long time given its 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and the relatively big 4,600mAh battery.

The display is impressive too – it’s a high-res 1312x2848px OLED panel with an LTPO backplane that can ramp up to 120Hz. The display is bright and vivid as you would expect. It’s a bit on the cool side, but we’ll do a detailed reading in our full review.

The cameras on the Honor Magic4 Pro are arguably its highlight. Three large imagers at the back of this camera are high-megapixel and have bright lenses. The 50MP f/1. 8 main camera has optical stabilization, laser and phase-detect AF, and optical stabilization. A second 50MP sensor covers the ultrawide needs and doubles as a macro camera. There’s a 90mm (3. 5x) periscope zoom with a large 1/2.0″ sensor and f/3. 5 aperture.

We’re eager to test out these three cameras in our full review.

Upfront, there appear to be two cameras, but it’s really a single 12MP selfie unit and a 3D time-of-flight sensor for biometrics and depth data. We love the wide-angle selfie camera. It can also serve up 4K videos, which is ever more important in this TikTok day and age.

Stay tuned for more of the Magic4 Pro soon.
