Honor Magic 4 Pro review: specs, battery & used prices
Hands-on-style overview of the Honor Magic 4 Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1: screen, cameras, battery, performance and what it costs used.
Summary
The Honor Magic 4 Pro is the 2022 flagship that competed on charging and cameras: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, 6.81-inch 120 Hz OLED, IP68, a 4,600 mAh battery with 100 W wired and 50 W wireless charging, and a 50 MP triple system with a 64 MP periscope. Everyday 82/100, camera 57/100, charge 80/100 — the fastest charging in the catalog. New 8/256 units list at $1,100; no used supply stateside.
Display and design
The 6.81-inch curved OLED at 120 Hz wraps a 215 g IP68-sealed body — proper water and dust protection on a regional flagship (screen 58/100 reflects the 600-nit rating). The circular camera cluster is the family signature; compactness 71/100 concedes the reach.
Performance
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 was powerful and warm in equal measure: gaming 27/100, everyday 82/100 — fast everywhere, throttling earlier than its successor under sustained load. No global update commitment is published; US units are imports.
Camera
The 50 MP stabilized main, 64 MP periscope telephoto and 50 MP ultrawide with 4K60 form one of the most complete systems of 2022 (camera 57/100). The periscope's reach and the consistent triple-lens processing are the arguments; Honor's color leans vivid.
Battery and charging
4,600 mAh with 100 W wired and 50 W wireless charging — charge 80/100, the ceiling of the catalog: roughly twenty minutes to full wired, the fastest wireless top-up tracked here. Battery 32/100 endurance is a solid day.
Verdict
The Magic 4 Pro remains the charging-speed exhibit of the catalog — flagship sealing, periscope optics, twenty-minute refills. Import logistics and absent stateside support define the purchase decision; the Magic 5 Pro successor refines everything except the charging, which stays singular.
