Editor Rating
4.5/5

Honor Magic 4 Pro is the first proper flagship smartphone released by the popular Chinese manufacturer after its parting from its parent company, Huawei. Yet, it carries over a lot of the design cues from its predecessor, including the massive rear camera module shaped in the form of a large ring. The great thing about this design, though, is that you get the benefit of a Penta camera array with three full-size sensors, in addition to a depth and flicker sensor for better photo and video capture. The only problem is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, which, while being incredibly capable, is a bit power-hungry so you might end up with low battery outputs.

Honor Magic 4 Pro is a great flagship device from the Chinese brand, which features an amazing display, the latest components, as well as lots of useful camera sensors and features, but it runs into some efficiency issues due to the limitations of the processor.
