Third-party reviews

What customers like about Honor MagicPad 4

  • The 165 Hz OLED screen makes motion look smooth.
  • At 290 ppi, text and drawings look very sharp.
  • 12 GB of RAM lets many apps stay open at once.
  • Pen latency of 2 ms makes writing and drawing feel responsive.
  • 66 W charging tops the battery up quickly.
  • aptX Adaptive and LE Audio support good wireless sound.

What customers don't like about Honor MagicPad 4

  • At 274.5 mm wide it needs a large bag.
  • There is no memory card slot, so storage cannot be expanded.
  • There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired earphones need an adapter.
  • Battery life is 9 hours, which is short for a screen this fast.

Verdict

Speed and screen are where the Honor MagicPad 4 stands out, with a 12.3 inch OLED panel at 3000×1920 that refreshes 165 times a second. Pen latency is only 2 ms, so handwriting and drawing feel close to paper. The 12 GB of RAM and the 3 nm chip keep apps moving quickly, and the 256 GB of storage is plenty for projects. Eight speakers and three microphones suit films and calls. The battery is rated for 9 hours, which is short for a screen this fast, and the 66 W charging helps to top it up quickly. The trade-off is size: at 274.5 mm wide it needs a large bag, and there is no memory card slot. It suits a creative user who wants a sharp screen and does not mind a large tablet.
