HONOR’s newly introduced MagicPad 4 for China takes a different hardware path from the global model announced earlier. Most notably, this version swaps the OLED panel for a high-refresh-rate LCD and uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 platform, positioning it as a large-screen Android tablet for media, multitasking, and mobile work.
A display and audio setup for media and gaming
The MagicPad 4 centers on a 12.1-inch LCD with a 3K 3000 x 1872 resolution, 292 pixels per inch, and refresh-rate modes reaching 165Hz. HONOR rates peak brightness at 700 nits and includes its Oasis eye-comfort technology, alongside IMAX Enhanced and HDR Vivid support. Six stereo speakers with 3D spatial sound and three microphones round out the entertainment and video-call hardware.
- 12.1-inch LCD display with a 3000 x 1872 resolution, 292 ppi, and 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, or 165Hz refresh-rate modes
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor built on a 4nm process, paired with an Adreno 825 GPU
- 8GB or 12GB of RAM, with 256GB of storage
- 13MP autofocus rear camera and 9MP fixed-focus front camera
- Dual-band Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and USB-C connectivity
- 10,100mAh battery with up to 66W HONOR SuperCharge support
Thin hardware, plus cross-device software features
Despite the 10,100mAh battery, the tablet measures 6.29mm thick and weighs 537 grams. HONOR claims up to 70 days of standby time. Internally, a graphite heat-dissipation area exceeding 37,000 square millimeters is intended to manage heat from the Snapdragon chip during demanding tasks.
The tablet runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16. HONOR says the software updates Borderless Notes and HONOR Knowledge Workshop, adds support for PC-oriented Android app workflows, and can directly transfer files, photos, and videos across different device ecosystems, including iPhone.
In China, the MagicPad 4 starts at 3,299 yuan for the 8GB/256GB configuration, an approximate conversion of $491. The 12GB/256GB version is priced at 3,699 yuan, or about $551. HONOR has not confirmed U.S. availability, pricing, or whether this configuration will reach other markets as a possible MagicPad 4 Lite model. For now, it appears aimed at buyers who prioritize a large, fast display and substantial battery capacity over the global model’s OLED approach.
