Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Honor Magic4 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Extremely fast 100W wired and wireless charging speeds, with the wired charging getting the phone to 100% in around 30 minutes.
  • High-quality, bright 120Hz LTPO OLED display with vivid colors and excellent touch response.
  • Premium build quality and an ergonomic design that feels good in the hand despite its size.
  • Versatile and capable camera system that produces detailed and punchy daytime photos and good 3.5x optical zoom shots.
  • Powerful performance, handling gaming and daily tasks smoothly due to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and ample RAM.
  • Excellent, well-balanced stereo speakers with good volume and minimal distortion.
  • Reliable and fast under-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and secure 3D face unlock.
  • Comes with Google Mobile Services (GMS) on the global version, a major plus over past Huawei devices.
  • Useful extra features like an IR blaster (remote control functionality) and IP68 water/dust resistance rating.
  • Good video recording quality, including 4K at 60fps and a cinematic 'Movie' mode with LUTs.

What we don't like about Honor Magic4 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Aggressive pricing puts it in direct competition with more established Apple and Samsung flagships, often at a higher price point.
  • Software experience can be inconsistent, with occasional stuttering, odd lagging, and aggressive background app management.
  • Battery life is considered average and can be a mixed bag depending on usage (heavy use often requires nightly charging), with some users reporting the battery drains faster over time.
  • Camera software has some issues, including overly aggressive image processing (especially in low light/night mode which can look unnatural and soft) and shutter lag when taking rapid photos.
  • The phone can run hot, particularly during intensive use or while charging, a common issue with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip.
  • The physical design is large, heavy, and somewhat slippery, making one-handed use difficult for some users.
  • The large, pill-shaped cutout on the display for the front cameras is a design choice that some users find annoying or distracting.
  • Some users report poor network/cellular reception compared to other phones.
  • Lack of expandable storage (no MicroSD card slot) may be a drawback for some users.
  • Software updates have been described as few and far between or inconsistent.

Verdict

The Honor Magic4 (8GB + 256GB) is a flagship 5G smartphone powered by the high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. It features a stunning 6.81-inch LTPO OLED quad-curved display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 1920Hz PWM dimming for reduced eye strain. Photography is a major focus, with a versatile rear triple-camera system that includes 50MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, and an 8MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom (or 64MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom depending on the specific regional variant), all supporting 4K video recording. A large 4,800mAh (or 4,600mAh for the Pro version) battery is a key feature, especially with its impressive 66W (or 100W on Pro) wired and optional 100W wireless SuperCharge capabilities. Pros include excellent overall performance, a bright and smooth display, powerful and fast charging technology, an IP54 or IP68 water and dust resistance rating (depending on model/region), and the inclusion of Google Play Services. However, cons can include average battery life (despite fast charging), a lack of optical image stabilization (OIS) on the main camera sensor, and no expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
