Now accessible within the UK, the Honor Magic4 Pro is a 949.99 UKP high-end smartphone that competes instantly with the main manufacturers on the prime (official page).

This 6.81” waterproof (IP68) smartphone may be very agreeable each to the attention and when in your hand. That’s a big “plus” for any handset, and Honor has not held again on any expense, whether or not in design or luxurious supplies.

The show has minimal bezels and is curved in the direction of the sting, visually interesting, though some individuals choose a flatter bezel. I’m okay with each, however you might need a desire.

The 2848×1312 decision isn’t the very best on the planet, however one which is excellent and ample to fulfill any consumer in my view. The 1000 NITs brightness is spectacular, and the 120 Hz refresh price makes scrolling “butter-smooth,” as Google may say.

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, the efficiency seems to be impeccable, and that’s in all probability the very best Android {hardware} platform at this worth level. As of late, MediaTek was coming again sturdy, however Qualcomm nonetheless has a bonus in sheer efficiency. Keep a watch on these two because the competitors is red-hot.

The 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage are acceptable however not significantly spectacular. Many massive OEMs suggest comparable configurations at this worth level, so that is the brand new “normal” in these occasions of supply-chain woes.

The digital camera {hardware} is fascinating: there are three high-resolution sensors of fifty (major), 50 (ultrawide), and 64 (3.5X telephoto) megapixels, respectively. I’m very curious to investigate the picture high quality extra carefully, however this can be a strong digital camera {hardware} platform.

The remaining and most essential factor it’s best to discover is the 100W uber-fast charging of the 4600 mAh battery. As we regularly say, 5000 mAh is the present most capability available in the market, and sooner charging can greater than make up for a barely smaller capability.

Honor offers you an 80W charger within the field, whereas the competitors can cost you $45 for a a lot slower charger. You can hit a 50% cost in 15mn and a full cost in 30mn, making any deep battery drain a minor inconvenience as an alternative of an emergency.

The cellphone ships with Android 12, and take into account that Honor does use its Honor Magic UI 6 layer on prime of Android. It’s not as lean as a “pure Android”, however I discovered it to work effectively, and Honor clients merely get used to it. If you’re transiting, the training curve is small.

The Honor Magic4 Pro has every thing required to make nice high-end telephones: a slick design, high-powered digital camera specs, a speedy processor, an amazing display screen, and battery life.
