Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

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

  • Sturdy, premium and comfortable design, despite its size and weight.
  • Excellent 6.81-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz dynamic refresh rate that is bright and vivid.
  • Outstanding speaker quality and loudness with well-balanced sound and minimal distortion at high volumes.
  • Impressive wired and wireless charging speeds (100W wired and wireless), allowing for a full charge in around 30 minutes.
  • Quite capable and versatile camera system that produces great photos in good lighting conditions and excellent videos.
  • Excellent and fast ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and reliable 3D facial scanning for security.
  • Solid performance for daily use and gaming, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.
  • IP68 dust and water resistance certification.
  • Comes with 256GB of base storage.

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

  • Battery life is generally average or underwhelming for a flagship phone, requiring regular top-ups, though fast charging helps.
  • Software experience can be inconsistent, with occasional lags, stuttering, and aggressive background app management.
  • The pill-shaped cutout for the front camera is considered an awkward design choice by some, as it shifts notification icons.
  • Camera performance in low light is not as consistent as top competitors, and images can appear soft or over-sharpened.
  • No optical image stabilization (OIS) on the main camera lens.
  • Gets warm easily, especially during intensive use or while scrolling certain apps.
  • The phone is heavy and large, making one-handed use difficult, and its glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet.
  • Lack of expandable storage (microSD card slot).
  • Only offers two years of software support, which is less than some competitors.
  • Aggressive screen curvature can make gesture navigation a bit of a pain.

Verdict

The Honor Magic4 Pro (8GB RAM, 256GB storage) is a flagship smartphone centered around its striking 6.81-inch LTPO OLED display and a versatile, powerful triple-camera system featuring 50MP main, 50MP ultrawide, and 64MP periscope telephoto lenses. A major pro is its ultrafast 100W wired and wireless charging capabilities, which can charge the 4600mAh battery to near full very rapidly, along with robust performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and IP68 water resistance. Potential cons include its large size and curved screen design which may not appeal to all users, and the software experience can sometimes be inconsistent outside of China compared to competitors.
