Honor released its new smartphone called Magic 4 Pro at MWC 2022, with its superior feature a wireless charger with a maximum power of 100W.
With this much power, the Magic 4 Pro is claimed to be able to be filled from empty to 50% in just 15 minutes. Interestingly, the charger with the cable also has a maximum power of 100W, which is claimed to be able to fully charge from empty in just 30 minutes.
The Magic 4 Pro was released at the same time as the Magic 4, which was lower in specifications. For example, the maximum charging using a cable is only 66W and does not support 100W wireless charging.
As a flagship line, the Mag 4 Pro certainly prioritizes its camera capabilities. There are three rear cameras, a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 64MP telephoto periscope camera that has 3.5x optical zoom. While the Magic 4 uses an 8MP telephoto periscope camera.
The screen used by the Magic 4 Pro is a 6.81-inch LTPO OLED which can be adjusted to the refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz, according to user usage. The screen is curved at four corners.
While the Magic 4 uses the same size screen and 120Hz refresh rate, the curve is only on two sides of the device, as quoted by The Verge, Tuesday (1/3/2022).
The brain used in the Magic 4 series is Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Magic 4 is available with a choice of 8GB or 12GB RAM, and 128GB and 512GB storage. Magic 4 Pro also has the same options, but there is no 128GB storage option.
The difference between Magic 4 and Magic 4 Pro is also in the certification sector, where the Pro variant has an IP68 rating and the non-pro variant is only IP54. Regarding the price, the Magic 4 Pro starts at 1099 euros while the Magic 4 starts at 899 euros.
Unlike its former parent company (Huawei), Honor phones are equipped with various Google apps and services, including the Google Play Store. Both run Magic UI 6.0 which is based on Android 12.
Oh yes, there is one interesting feature of the Pro variant, namely "Privacy Calling", which is claimed to use directional sound to avoid sound leakage from the built-in speaker when users make phone calls.
