HONOR has unveiled the MagicPad 4, a flagship Android tablet that leads with the first consumer use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and one of the most capable tablet displays currently available.
The 12.3-inch screen runs at 3K resolution (3000 x 1920) with a 165Hz refresh rate and peaks at 2,400 nits of brightness, covering the DCI-P3 wide color gamut. HONOR also certifies the display for TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free standards, citing an ultra-fine 5,280Hz PWM dimming rate that reduces eye strain during extended sessions.
At 4.8mm thick and roughly 450 grams, HONOR positions the MagicPad 4 as the thinnest tablet currently on the market — a direct challenge to the iPad Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 lineup. It ships in Gray and White finishes.
