The Honor MagicPad 4 measures 273.4 x 178.8 mm with a thickness of just 4.8 mm and a total volume of 234.64 cm³, keeping its footprint relatively compact for a large-screen tablet. It weighs 450 g, which is a reasonable figure for a device of this size. The tablet does not include a stylus, a detachable keyboard, or a backlit keyboard, and it offers no tilt sensitivity support. Water resistance is absent, so the device should be kept away from moisture.
The Honor MagicPad 4 features a 12.3″ OLED/AMOLED touch screen with a resolution of 3000 x 1920 px and a pixel density of 290 ppi, producing a detailed and well-defined image across its large panel. The display runs at a 165Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visual output during scrolling and on-screen interactions. An anti-reflection coating is present to reduce glare in bright environments. The screen does not use branded damage-resistant glass or sapphire glass, and it does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, nor does it use e-paper technology.
The Honor MagicPad 4 is powered by an octa-core processor built on a 3nm semiconductor, configured with 2 cores at 3.8 GHz and 6 cores at 3.32 GHz, making use of big.LITTLE and HMP technologies across 8 threads for efficient workload distribution. It achieves Geekbench 6 scores of 3600 single-core and 10800 multi-core, and comes with 16 GB of RAM running at 4800 MHz over 2 memory channels, with a maximum supported memory of 24 GB and a peak bandwidth of 84.8 GB/s. The 512 GB of internal storage uses eMMC 5.1, and there is no external memory slot. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 840 GPU, clocked at 1200 MHz with 3 execution units, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3, with output to a single display. The chip also includes integrated LTE and TrustZone security, supports 64-bit processing, and runs Android 16.
The Honor MagicPad 4 features a 13 MP single-lens main camera with a CMOS sensor, an f/2.0 aperture, and support for 4K video recording at 30 fps. It includes touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video, manual focus, manual ISO, manual exposure, and manual white balance, giving users a reasonable degree of manual control. A single LED flash and a video light are available, though the flash is not dual-tone or RGB, and there is no front-facing flash. Slow-motion video recording is supported, but the camera lacks optical image stabilization, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, burst mode, and panorama or 360-degree shooting capabilities. On the front, a 9 MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture is available for video calls and self-portraits, and HDR mode is supported across the camera system. The main sensor is not back-illuminated.
The Honor MagicPad 4 includes stereo speakers for built-in audio output, but does not feature a 3.5 mm headphone jack or a radio. For wireless audio, the tablet supports aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive, covering a solid range of Bluetooth audio codecs for quality and adaptability, though aptX Low Latency, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are not supported.
The Honor MagicPad 4 is equipped with a 10100 mAh rechargeable battery that supports fast charging, allowing for quicker top-ups compared to standard charging. A battery level indicator is present so users can monitor remaining charge at a glance. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.
The Honor MagicPad 4 supports Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, and 7 alongside Bluetooth 6, with download and upload speeds reaching 10000 Mbits/s and 3500 Mbits/s respectively. It connects via USB Type-C 3.2 but lacks cellular connectivity, 5G support, NFC, HDMI output, and Ethernet. GPS and a compass are absent, though the tablet supports Galileo positioning and includes an accelerometer and gyroscope. On the software side, the device offers a broad set of features including split screen, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, media picker, customizable notifications, notification controls, child lock, multi-user support, battery health check, the ability to offload apps, and the option to play games while they are downloading. Privacy controls cover location, camera and microphone access, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking, Mail Privacy Protection, and Wi-Fi password sharing are not available. The tablet also supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, sharing intents, and device position tracking. Focus modes, Quick Start, 3D facial recognition, an iris scanner, a fingerprint scanner, a barometer, an infrared sensor, and a built-in projector are all absent.
The Honor MagicPad 4 uses DDR5 memory and supports multithreading, allowing the processor to handle multiple threads simultaneously for more efficient task execution.
